Finally we met the rest of our group (diploma), Sophia and our clients, 5 clever girls and their ideas. To be honest, their designs gave us a clear idea how to face this project.
Requirements we must consider in the “green play house” shelter are:
· to accommodate approximately 30 pupils from 5 to 11 years old and their teachers· to design a semi-open shelter for outdoor activities and sometimes general lessons. · to design also a semi-open shelter for using during the breaks.· to keep the middle bench/table in the same position· to incorporate rain water collection (a must)· Bright colours (the pupils want to collaborate in the painting and interior design)· the old tree in the corner, which could be maintained or chopped. The pupils said it could be transformed into a sculpture (any volunteer?)· to use environmental materials
The meeting finished and some of us started to do the site survey. After having all the measurements we divided ourselves in 3 groups, which will have a meeting this weekend (26th -27th September) and will bring their joint ideas on Monday 28th.
The good news is that our budget has risen to 500 pounds!!!! And maybe we have more area where to develop our project, not just the central area, but also the adjacent ones (left and right).
The other good news is that we have a big dead tree in other area of the garden that could be chopped by the care taker and we can use it as part of our design. So we have more materials! J
Dimitra, Melania or I will let you know about the results from Monday. We are pretty excited to start, Sophia and the kids are a good inspiration.
