The rst phase o re-developing sites within the Campus
ocuses on the land alongside and behind the main Astrotur
(Tipperlinn pitch). Although on the Senior School side o the
campus, what is created now will be or the benet o those
in the Junior School and I am keen to stress that I would like
Junior School pupils and parents to be equally involved.
The diagrams overleaf detail the space you have to work with.
In designing these spaces think about:
•
Who will use this space? Pupils, Parents, Spectators?• Will the eatures you design be aesthetic (sculptures,
designer gardens), practical (benches, tables, shelters,
rereshment huts), or a combination o both?
• Will you use reclaimed, or recyclable materials?
• Will you use lighting or new technologies or your eatures?
• How will your designs look through the changing seasons?
Will you be able to use them in winter? What will they look
like in summer?
• How will nature and weather change your eatures?
• Will you create a space that can be changed every ew
years, will you have permanent xtures?
• Can you promote a more diverse ecology rather than grass
and tarmac?
• Would you want to create dierent atmospheres, quiet
zones, areas or outdoor perormances or meetings?
For your design use:
Any materials, techniques or process (or example drawing
painting, collage, photography, computer-aided design) to
make your piece. Submissions can be electronic, models
or paper ranging rom A4 to A1 in size.
Entries will be judged on:
• Originality and creativity
• Boldness and impact• Practicality and aesthetics.
The ollowing website could be used to stimulate ideas.

community.
We do not want budgets to inhibit ideas or designs at this

The Prize… well, the prize is to see your ideas and creations

on a plaque or in-built somewhere in the design.
