The outdoor classroom
project, a live competition, was based in the small village of Ladybank in
Fife. The proposal, for the village primary school, was required to facilitate
learning and playing for the children.
The proposed solution
was a simple portal framed structure which used the sharp decline in the site
to allow for a stepped seating area. The curved form related to the existing
trees, using their geometry as both a backdrop and focus for the design.
The design also served
as a circulation link between the existing enclosed external space created by
the school and the characterful back gate, which opens immediately onto a large
existing tree surrounded by a vast field.
