Final Model

I constructed a physical model at 1:100:

To make sure that my large curving ramp would be viable I used an online trigonometry program to see whether the ramp, having a rise of 10 metres and an overall distance of 66 metres, would be possible and would give an appropriate degree of rise/run. I concluded that my ramp would have an angle of degree of 8.62 so would therefore be an appropriate angle of incline up into the building:

Core 10 structural element

When designing the building I decided to change from using orange glass to core10 as it is much more structurally stable and also ages over time, giving an interest effect onto the facade of the building. The inclusion of this colour would hope to excite the children through the use of a gender neutral colour of orange, contrasting with the green seen in the outdoor spaces.

This is my final image of the site plan, using the roof plan of the building orientated onto an image of the actual site:

This image shows my testing of different window types for the design - I decided to use the narrower , more stylised windows rather than the whole wall being a glass window
