Week 2…Initial design development

Defining the client

Our group decided that our relocatable classroom will be designed for teaching children 4-7 years old. This is pre-school, prep and grade 1.

The spaces we need to include into our design are study area, role play space, open learning space, computer area, library corner, office / wet area and school bag area.

Natural daylight is important in the study area as it is a working space. As children will be drawing or writing, reading etc…

The role play space has to be flexible space where different types of role play scenario can be set up for the children, such as a postoffice, supermarket, shop etc…

Opening learning space would be used for things such as small group activities for art and craft space, music and singing time and class story telling time.

The library corner will hold all books and readers for the children and be a cosy spot.

Here are some initial developmental sketches …
