Site and Situation

Design Direction

After Presenting an initial plan for the Scope Learning and education centre, a series of factors to redevelop have arisen. 


1. develop a more dynamic floor plan to match the dynamic facade and create interest. 
2. change the focus from large circulation spaces and back into the learning zones.
3. reconsider the building placement in the site. 
4. take the facade back to its original cliff idea and develop one that is more architectural.
5. allow the building to interact with the cliff as it is so important to the overall design.

Learning and Education Centre

We have now been tasked to expand our Folie ideas into a large public building that acts as a youth library and education centre. From this point i begin looking into some exemplar libraries and youth education spaces. 


My first exemplar comes from a familiar source, I have studies once before, the Phaeno Science Centre by Zaha Hadid. The space is one of dynamic floor plans, that interact with the users on all levels.

Another space by Zaha Hadid, is a learning and education centre that challenges the norm.
