BSF is the biggest single government investment in improving school buildings for over 50 years. The aim is to rebuild or remodel every secondary school in England. If you feel pupils could/should be actively involved in shaping the future design of their school and you would like some assistance in this please contact - info@acdandc.org.uk .
How Places Work is a scheme supported by CABE to encourage young people from across the country to experience architecture and public space through a series of visits and tours to venues in their regions. In the company of an inspirational expert, young people are guided through to understand the importance of good design in the places that surround them. The scheme is based on Key Stage 3 but is easily adaptable for older or younger pupils in a wide range of curriculum areas.
If your school or organisation would like to be involved please contact info@acdandc.org.uk .
