Step 3: People and Place - FUTURE

By now you should have a good understanding of all the spaces within your school grounds as they are now. You will know what people think about them, how they are used and the opportunities and challenges they present.

 

This final step is all about reflecting on what you have discovered so far and using your knowledge as the basis for creative thinking about how your site could change.


People & Place FUTURE involves:


  • Exploring options for the whole site by beginning to question and challenge the current arrangement and use of your outdoor spaces

  • Your space, your way - focusing on one space or theme which you know is important to your school community, and developing your creative ideas and concepts
