| Week 2 |
Following the esquisse, we decided to continue with the triangle theme. Terri interviewed some school students of differing year levels, as well as some teachers to see what they needed from a classroom. It was interesting to notice which elements were common between all that were interviewed. This research encouraged us as a group to nut out which classroom elements were the most important.
We were then confronted with a series of new issues: classroom size, materials, modularity, etc. We left Thursday afternoon with plenty of research to do...
We met up on Saturday to discuss what we had come up with. It was unanimous that the triangle module was the way to go. We spent some time cutting out cardboard triangles to play around with form and space, allowing us as a group to have a greater understanding the space we intend to create.
Material wise, bamboo seemed to be the weapon of choice. The bamboo will be used to form the triangular frame, with a series of differing materials used to fill the triangle as needed; ie. glass (to create a window module), timber, cork, etc.
Although we had nutted out some solutions, we still have a bit to go.... Honestly, I am surprised as to how much thought has to go into what appeared to be a small project!
