Project 1: RARE Architecture


This project ties together two of the key themes for the unit: sustainable design and learning environments. These themes are addressed through the design of a Relocatable classroom unit that is based on the concept of RARE Architecture. RARE Architecture is a form of architecture that is Renewable, Adaptive, Relocatable and Environmental.

For this project, consider yourselves as creative idea generators charged with the task of re-defining the portable classroom in a way that integrates sustainable building systems whilst maximizing the potential for students to learn within the spaces you create.

1. Design to cater for modern and appropriate learning styles and the integration of learning technologies
2. Issues of comfort required to facilitate effective learning in students using the classroom
