Design Development Part 2

After coming up with some initial concepts, as a group we discussed what we wanted to achieve out of our relocatable classroom and we came up with the following in addition to RARE Architecture requirements:

> We want the classroom to be easily assembled and dissembled so that it can be conveniently relocated to other sites without consuming too much time.

> We wanted a modular design so the classroom could increase in size with the growth of the school.

> We want each segment of the classroom to be a complete unit for ease of transportation and assembly.

Below are some sketches of our concept of the relocatable classroom.

This first image below shows how the segments of the classroom fits together and shows how it can be expanded to grow in size.


This next sketch represents how each individual segment is constructed. The sketch also includes some design features such as:

> Connecting one segment with the others.
> Transportation of the segments.
> Shading on the windows to reduce heat penetration in summer.
> Water collection ideas.
> Footing System.


From this sketch, it can be seen how the segments will join together to form a complete classroom made up of five or more segments.


Lastly, this sketch gives a perspective view of how we envisage the relocatable classroom to look like once positioned on site.
