The masterplan
Re organised entry to school
erz has been working with environmental artist Rachel Mimiec and the school community to look at ways to 'recycle' the tired playground at this primary school in Kirkintilloch. This project commenced with a series of diverse artist led workshops to explore ideas. Erz have developed a new master plan for the school that builds on ideas generated by artists, staff, parents and children. There will be an allotment, a wildlife garden that adopts the adjacent burn, a willow copse, eco playground, sculptural dens and pods and a completely reorganised parking and circulation system. Working with Rachel and parents, we have run a parallel live project with the school community growing edible beans to create circular playpods in the playground, which will be harvested as part of a bean festival tying in with school calendar and curriculum.
