Project Brief
To propose a scheme for a school of design based on the waterfront at Bristol city docks.
​
Project description
An important part any Design School are the student studio spaces, this is where the work is created.
Three major element contribute to a good studio space:
Collaborative community - Inspiration - Environment
​
Collaborative community - Students should see what is happening all around the school, find relaxation and social space outside the studio and feel as part of a team.
Environment - Natural light, ventilation, comfortable temperatures, not too noisy
Great Inspiration – access to knowledge and ideas comes from experience and interaction with the outside world, spaces with great views inspire great ideas.
