Procedure
Now turn your attention to the development of your plan for the school sculpture garden. You have already looked at the site and drawn the space and its existing components. You have surveyed staff and others in the building in order to create a "Wish list" of garden components.
- Review the list and consider implementing the ideas that you believe are the most important.
- Introduce your own "Wish list".
- As the students begin
the drawings, ask them to consider the following:
- Grading and drainage
- Utilities
- Hardscape - walkways and terraces
- Lawn - seed or sod
- Site and sculpture lighting
- Water features
- Plantings - Trees and shrubs
- Irrigation
- Furniture - tables, chairs, and benches
- Trash receptacles
- Signage
- Tell the students to follow the same procedure as they did for your pre-construction drawings.
- Tell the students to transfer the existing elements to the new drawing.
- Give the students' drawings to the sculpture garden's consultants to be critiqued and reviewed. Each drawing will be evaluated for cost. Either a final drawing will be selected or a composite design will be finalized based on the ideas offered by the teams. * At Nottingham, a small group of students also reviewed the team plans and then created a composite drawing.
- Assess student work (see Assessment Rubric).
* All students should
know that the final design is subject to adjustment as the construction proceeds
and as sculpture and landscaping are added to the space over time.
