Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Grounds: Their Design and Development Modern education seeks to contribute to the expansion of the life of the child by providing an environment of beauty - buildings of pleasing architecture and grounds with the charm of landscape gardening. Our school grounds should be attractive, placed where they will conveniently serve their tributary districts according to the best standards of city planning, large enough and of such well chosen topography as to provide amply for playgrounds, parking, borders, and gardens, all so judiciously planned, that their orderliness and obvious wisdom of arrangement become elements of beauty in the unity of the whole. It is advisable to have a well studied plan for every school ground, regardless of size. A definite portion of the funds allotted for building purposes ought to be set aside for the development of the grounds, in the very smallest districts as well as in those which can afford to secure the professional services of a landscape architect. A worthy appreciation of artistic school buildings has been created during recent years, especially in the cities, and in the more progressive rural districts. Construction should be the basis of building design. With this in mind, false fronts are to be avoided, especially that too prevalent imitation of the "mission" style with weird scrolls concealing a simple gabled roof. Closely following the desire for good architecture has come an understanding of the value of landscape development. Our schools have assumed a more important role in community life through the wider use of the buildings and playgrounds as public meeting places. The location of such an important feature should receive. careful consideration from the viewpoint of modern city planning.

Book excerpt: A growing legion of landscape architects is exploring and exploiting the ability to create outdoor environments that optimize the learning experience and mirror the ideas, values, attitudes, and cultures of those who inhabit them. In Landscapes for Learning, Dr. Sharon Stine presents 11 case studies of the very best of these design projects from around the world. Her findings describe not only design concepts and end results - rich outdoor learning environments - but, more importantly, the processes that led to the creation of these environments. She examines the roles of designers, teachers, and the children themselves, and how their interaction affects the planning, building, and use of the space.

Download or read book The Outdoor Classroom written by Brian Billimore and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 1999 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department for Education and Employment has produced this updated bulletin on school grounds development, highlighting the potential of these grounds as a valuable resource that can support and enrich the whole curriculum and the education of all pupils. The educational use of school grounds has positive affects on student attitudes towards their environment and can help pupils be better informed, responsible, and enterprising. Varied and flexible landscaping is important to afford many opportunities for learning by a diverse student body. Achievement of these goals requires communication and commitment of teachers, pupils, educational advisers, and landscape specialists. For new school sites, the landscape deserves as much attention as the building, and its financial allocation should be adequate enough to be viewed as an external works budget with sufficient allowance for aftercare. Improving existing grounds should involve pupils and teachers at the earliest stages, allowing for long-term changes in the grounds in successive years. Finally, grounds management and maintenance guidelines should determine the type and pattern of maintenance with support of landscape staff. Appendices include a suggested landscape survey checklist, a list of possible site features, a landscape brief for a new school, a management policy statement of objectives, publications relating to each section for further reading, and useful organizations.
