Context
Through the use of innovative space planning, colour, lighting, textures and graphics a vision for the whole and strategic framework for learning can be implemented.
Architecture at its simplest employs form to create space and order. A series of influences affect the creation of a suitable architecture. The client brief, the site and its analysis together with the aspirations of the team all contribute to and inform the project.
The external landscape affords an opportunity to provide a resource that can facilitate a range of activities and a range of spaces that are both interactive and personable.
Context is a very important consideration in the development of a new college, whether on an existing site with existing buildings or on a new ‘brownfield’ or new ‘greenfield’ site. A site analysis should be conducted at the outset of the project to set the scene and identify the salient issues both on the site and in the neighbourhood.
