Senses of Place 2 - St Margaret’s Academy: written brief
Outdoor spaces that make us feel good “Spaces you shouldn’t be in…” We want dangerous, exciting places, which give you an adrenalin rush and where we can be determined and feel amazing. We love natural areas, which have enough space to move around freely with trees to climb for shelter on a windy day. Mountains – the beauty of the Cuillins, hilltops with peaceful views, campsites with greenery, paths and woods, sitting outside where we can be at one with ourselves and... “take your mind off stuff”. Lochs that are natural, quiet and calm with clean, clear water. The beach, sun, sand, the warmth of walking barefoot - South Queensferry or the Caribbean. We think of healthy, active outdoor spaces, as busy and energetic, involving discovering, interacting with others and feeling good – physical sports such as football on the Astroturf, paint balling, skiing at Hillend. We appreciate stress free social areas where we can sit, have fun and be with friends -eating and drinking at small tables – easier to chat and have a laugh in a relaxed, safe, cosy environment.
“...communicating with friends, chatting, chilling out, hanging out with friends.”
