1This lower pool studio looks directly at the nature of contemporary education spaces, and through design proposes modest scale learning environ-ments that can serve as models for how to tackle the speedy provision works at schools. The studio is partially motivated by the federal governments Building Education Revolution (BER) program, which is operating on very quick timelines; and the extensive research into education space under-taken in recent years and also focus through the Smart Green Schools ARC-funded project. Thestudiosfinalprojectisneweducationalspace at Carlton North Primary School; and this followed several detailed exercises in devices and techniques used in educational spaces; including time, furniture, props, group and informal learn-ing strategies. The studio environment itself was used as a model for new education learning, and the students drew from their own current and fairly recent primary and secondary schooling in establishing norms in practice. New models were presented, researched and visited by us. Projects wereundertakenmostlyingroups,withthefinaleight schemes mostly completed in pairs. Con-centration was given to building a bridge from the school to the community and the development of an interior that presents an idea of new learning.
1:1 Furniture ProjectStudents worked on design and then quick fabrication of furniture for use in their later school projects.
Site VisitsThe studio visited existing and new Melbourne schools such as MCRs Fitzroy High School (pictured); and Bor-lands Preshill, Melbournes Girls College and North Carlton Primary School - which was the site for the following featured projects.
ScenariosStudents worked on a proj-ect with changing models using Lego people to test different learning environ-ments over the course of a day; like theatre sets these scenes would change and describe new learning mod-els such as play.

The Cubby design is about creating a casual, residential-like learning environment in contrast to the old Carlton North Primary School. The design was influenced by the idea of the cubby house following a visit from Preshil. Encouraged by the ways in which the buildings created a non-threatening and creative space, my design was looking to create a backyard like school environment, a sanctuary for the children, like this was their personal play and learning space. In doing this I referenced residential architecture: the cubby house (a well known childrens haven), fencing, the backyard shed, the vegetable garden, seating areas, a courtyard, etc with the idea that it would have a custom built quality and that it would be a free space that could be adjusted and built upon. The main learning areas included such as the kitchen workshop, canteen and play classroom can be used during school hours for cooking classes, PE classes or as a general school classroom. After school hours the kitchen and classroom space can be used for such things as afterschool care, community cooking/craft classes as well as a loca-tion for weekend sporting activities (with the use of sports storage, the soccer field, canteen, courtyard and stadium seating).

In the 21st century interactive learning is playing a more and more important role. As a result of this educational spaces
required more flexibility which minimizes the elements of separation. Our aim for this project is to create an informal semi-
defined learning space which will encourage small group interactive learning and increase spatial flexibility of this new learn-
ing space. A series of cylindrical forms are designed as the structural support and they also enclose spaces for reflective
learning. The circular forms affect the space which becomes a partly defined flowing space. To actively enrich this semi
defined learning space, skylights and various furniture is introduced. The evenness of the interior space is broken by the
introduction of the natural light from top, and the different sitting arrangements which encourages different group study sce-
narios. Additionally this new educational space also acts as a gathering and interacting space in a social context. The form
of the entrance as well as the semi transparent glass blocks which form the facade promotes a connection to the commu-
nity. The space is also versatile in terms of its after school use. It can be used by the community for a variety of events. The
curtain, just off to the side of the central space, temporary enclose the space for events such as small concerts, school
plays etc.

This concept is located at the focal point of the existing site, which can creates an interesting relationship between the street and the school. We wanted the student to interact with the surrounding landscape and provide opportunities for students to experience textures, smells, sounds, with their 5 senses, as this is an important aspect of mode 2 learning. We wanted to blur the lines between inside and outside, formal education and a social environment by the concept The Fat Edge.The Fat Edge allows students to get close to nature and surroundings, by creating an inhabitable boundary, which allows students to sit and learn on the boundary itself. The Fat Edge wraps around out to Lee Street, allowing the school to extend out onto the community, by breaking out the site boundary, which blur the line between the school and the site boundary, it allows the building to interact with the street and community.
Back To School Intelligent Transformation - Back Inside
The site we chose, was lacking in activity, yet it is a focal point for the site.
The window acts as the only connection to the surrounding community and environment.
Mode One learning, as currently in place. Mode Two, a combination of learning and experiencing.
Student activities happen within the existing school
Three separate learning spaces.
An area that could be used for entire school assemblies, or large events.
The shutters provide airfl ow and fresh air into the learning environment.
The canopy provides shade for the sitting area on street outside.
Our design blurs the lines between inside and outside, formal education and a social environment.
The swinging door and curtain has moved back to create School assemblies or large events space.
Three separate learning spaces was created by closing the swinging door and puting the curtain in.

BACK TOSCHOOLThis indoor playground is designed with an idea of
learning through play. With a series of learning space
i.e. the narrow corridor; the circle room and the
main play/learn area, it provides an opportunity for
an interactive learning. As learning today are more
community based and through interaction, the main
space allows children to play in the colourful slides,
tunnels, climbs, ball pool, trampoline and more. While
the teachers/guardians and children can use the open
space and the small study areas for monitoring or face
to face learning.
The main space while actively used, the circle room, a
low, quiet space, attached to the main space yet sepa
rated by sliding door can be used as a private learning
space. It can be accessed through the main space as
well as the linear corridor space which can be used as
an exhibition space.
The fa ade also acts as a climbing wall which is made
up of glass (behind) and timber strips at every 10cm
gap. The ground is filled with sand along the perimeter
of the building for safety reasons while climbing. The
fa ade also helps in creating a relation between the
inside and outside and an interesting pattern with light
and shadow at different times of the day. The roof of
the circular room and the linear corridor serves as a
terrace garden that is accessible through the ramp.
The main idea of this design was to use the space to its
maximum limit with dual use of most of the spaces and
a relation to each other.
