Team ADAN

We met today with Nicola and Grainne to present our concept for a space for learning. We took our idea from an image of a decagonal coke can we found

Our building was to be shaped like the image of the coke can we found. It had three floors and was made of alternating panels of solid walls and glass.

The ground floor was a display area to showcase students' work. It was a wide oden area with panels for mounting work on and screens for showing slideshows of models and digital work. It had wide stairs going round the room up to the next floor. theses stairs also had book cases along the walls for storage.

The next floor up was a classroom area. It was split into two areas. One area was laid out like a lecture theatre with a circle of screens at the centre. This area is for presentations and lectures.The other area was a semicirular tiered arrangement of desks for practical work. The desks were made of crushed cans coated with glass with a storage compartment at the side.

The next floor was a relaxation area. This area has desks made of recycled road signeds and chair made of cardboard and shaped to your body. It also has hanging lighting with multicoloured glass bottles covering the bulbs. The glass walls on this floor and the ground floor are also made of broken glass bottles to create coloured effects.

The roof is also accesible by coming up through the "hole in the can". The tab of the can was a viewing platform and the roof could also be used as a relaxation space.

We managed to fill a board with illustrations and I think ours was the most interesting.
