"If I want people to think differently, if I want them to understand that this place is different from anything they've experienced, then it has to look different. You can't serve up the same old thing and then expect people to rethink their approach to the world."
Barry Frew - US Navy Center for Executive Education
We are building a new Grady campus! Your parents and teachers are discussing a new wing with room for 600 students. I would love to see what you could design. I have included a link to a Grady Map without the T-buildings. Try to fit your design into the space, leaving room for the football/soccer field. Before you start look at the "Language of School Design" booklet to get some ideas about how schools reflect research into learning. Go for it! What should your school look like? Make sure that you let me see what you come up with.

Use this map to design the new wing. Leave room for the football/soccer field. Any buildings on here will probably be still on our campus. Think about the patterns in the "Language" .pdf while you create. Also think about grade-level "pods" with a common area for each grade level. Leave room for Grady to expand and grow as well. |

Take a look at this! I have been waiting for a architect to apply the pattern language of Christopher Alexander to school design. Here it is - 25 patterns that will make a school more comfortable for learning to occur. |
