The Re:Design Option
19 Apr 2013 – 10 Jun
Gallery 2 & Noticed Board
The Lighthouse, Glasgow (19th April - 10 June 2013)
This exhibition explores the challenges of different educational building types, and looks at how designers can help reveal the hidden potential of our existing schools.
The Curriculum for Excellence places new demands on all of our learning spaces, yet most of our pupils will receive their education in our existing school estate - a collage of buildings and spaces from several eras.
But we start with what we have. And what we have is a diversity of building types spanning over a century of development. So, how might we use design to make a more significant impact on all our school buildings? And how can we have meaningful conversations with those who use them to help us re-imagine the places they live and learn?
The exhibition brings together a series of short videos from four case study projects, and two summary videos highlighting the key themes and issues.
