Group A is collecting thematic problems. The basic idea is to collect all the issues of the current school and then pick up 5 as agreed in the editor meeting.
Could everybody have a look at the list below and give some comments about what other issues exsit and what are the most key ones of the school, please.
Building performance
Circulation:
The one-way system runs inconveniently.
The library blocks one possible access to dining room from the first floor.
The circulation in Lakeview college is not clear.
Functionality & Space:
Corridors are too narrow.
There is not sufficient social space in the building.
There is not adequate storage space.
The number of toilets is not big enough.
The library is not large enough and not used effectively.
The dining room can not accommodate enough large amounts of students
No flexible teaching and learning spaces.
No attractive entrance.
The college lacks a proper transition with other buildings.
Poor building quality
External appearance:
Gloomy facade materials
The arrangement of windows is a bit disordered when seen from the elevation.
Environmental design
Natural light is not sufficient and balanced because of the single-side opening windows.
No shading structure or element on both side-windows and roof-windows.
Not enough consideration of sustainability in design
Landscape planning
The courtyard is not used efficiently.
The beautiful view of the south lake is not combined well with the existing materials.

re. Environmental Design,
ReplyDeletethe roof lights in the block facing the lake work well on the first floor giving a good balance of light - they just aren't compatible with the kind of projection technology in use in the classrooms hence being blinfolded off.
so maybe general arrangement of classroom types vs. technology input is an issue?
In landscape also, the fields are very much underused, probably for security reasons.
