Childzone Open Think box
Brief:
Design a play space for your Ithuba primary school, according to the competition brief given on www.openthinkbox.co.za : it should address the needs of 6-13 year olds, would be used by the school users and will be secure within the school grounds so it doesn't need to be a building, unless you want to make it all-weather. For your design submission, it can be part of your building. For a competition entry, you would have to make it independent.
Submit designs Monday 08h00 in studio before theory lecture. Submission must consist of a 1:50 model, plans, sections & elevations required to describe it and quick notes on copies of these drawings showing the possibilities the design offers.
Enjoy it!
