THE BRIEF

from Accounting for Adaptability - A Strategy

THE EXISTING CONDITION

Through careful examination of the current context of the building, a clear brief was devised. The current undersized classrooms provide an opportunity for the redefinition of what a classroom might be and its adaptation into a modern context. From here the brief was proposed in two parts:

1. The current requirements: Match the 16 classrooms currently in use by the school and adapt the building so that it better reflects the Froebelian ethos.

2. The future requirement: Allow ‘free space’ so that the building can grow in line with population projections of young families and children within the Tolka Valley region while maintaining a Froebelian approach.
