You will plan and design an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive learning environment where the physical elements of construction and design features of the two areas (indoor and outdoor classrooms) have a focus on recognising and supporting diversity (social, cultural, cognitive, and physical).
The design should ensure that both children and families feel welcome. The design should encourage children to participate actively and successfully and should optimise learning and well-being.
You are required to recognise and respond to the fact that the school in which you are designing an indoor and outdoor classroom space is set in a neighbourhood with a diverse social, cultural, and economic, demography.
Please pay attention that the design must consider the special needs of children, like autism, ADHD, children with hearing, and visual disabilities. There are at least dozens of things that need to be taken into consideration. There are some factors necessary to be included in the design, for instance, circle breaker, family photo walls, wheelchair access e.g. wide doors, signs in many languages to show the embrace of the diversity of languages, allergy walls, world map to demonstrate the diversity of geographic, visual aids- timetables. Also, the drawing should include the dimensions, which should satisfy the requirement in Australia.
Drawing should include all the information, and rational should interpret the information from the drawing. Drawing could be several pages.
General design will definitely fail.
