CAMPFIRE: How to build a design team for the school of the future

Delivering landscape-led design
Helen Taylor, Director of Practice, Scott Brownrigg | Felicity Steers, Director, ERZ Studio

Places of learning must be delightful, sensory and dynamic for children to learn in, play in and socialise in. Well designed, robust places that encourage exploration, action and imagination. 

We need to masterplan learning spaces- indoors and outdoors- that invite creativity, wellbeing and connectivity- including with community outside the school gates. Scott Brownrigg (architects) and ERZ Studio (landscape design) will discuss how architects, landscape designers, and stakeholders can best work together, support, and challenge each other to find the most effective solutions.

Sustainable Living an Intervention Imperative
Merrick Denton-Thompson, Trustee, LTL, Cholderton Estate Trust, Groundforce Trust

The state of childhood and the biological state of the nation are both in crisis. Intervention by everyone is required to reverse these conditions to deliver cultural change, including the health and economic performance of our country.

School grounds should be regarded as the ‘National Parks’ of our towns and cities. They form a vital part of the learning infrastructure and yet the potential of these places have yet to be fully recognised. Delivering multi-functional outcomes can transform the lives of young people.
