The initial concept was how water falls on a leaf and seems to run to a certain point. Some flows towards the centre some falls towards the stem depending on the stem placement. This is to do with the centrefugal force created by the shape of the leaf similar to a wirlwind.

I intend to subdivide the site in order to provide a large food garden, making the school more independent & providing it the possibility of an additional income. The schools buildings & its roofs are designed so that it retains maximum run-off water to store in tanks reserved for the food garden.

I intend to create a building within an outer transparent skin, therefore providing a relationship with school and street. I also intend to randamise the circulation to become more interesting than just a spiral. The existing building will be stript to its structure and then wrapped in the same skin as the school. This building will be given back to the city as a multipurpose museum, library, dance studio and the like... I would aslo like to emphisise the corner of the building which faces the park and let the public look into the school. In my sketches to follow; Red is circulation, green are structures within the skin of the main building and blue is open spaces within the building.

My concept stemmed from nature, as i think the root of the problem in newtown is vegetation so within this design there is a lot of play between inside and outside too get the full experieence of nature whether you are in a classroom or outside in the courtyards.
