Landscape Democracy Rationale
- The Primary School No.1 in Budaörs is the newest school of the city. It was build in 2009 and designed by the Dobai Architecture Studio and S73 Landscape Architecture Studio. At first sight this is a school without any problems, it has a very modern look and an innovative spatial structure. But because no community was connected to the building when it was established, the designers didn't have the chance to ask the users opinions and viewpoints. Nowdays we can see what kind of problems the school community has and how they would imagine their school in the future. Since we are landscape architects, primary we will focus on the schoolyard, but we also believe that this is the place where the most important scenes of the school life are taking place.
Location and scope
- You can edit this map with the map editor
- Next to showing us where you are, you may also use this map to localise different focus themes of your community
Phase A: Mapping your Community
Welcome to your community and its landscape
- Assets: The school assets have 4 main groups: Individuals, Physical space, Institution properties an Associations. You can read on the figure below what are the components of this school based on this 4 topics.
- Symbols: For the students the main symbols around the schoolyard are the football field, the monkey bars and for the older students the "chill zone" with the benches. From the viewpoint of the parents they always mentioned the hill (the kids get dirty when it's muddy) and the football field. They think that the schoolyard is too small, but they are happy with it contains right now. The teachers said that they really appreciate that the school has a very diverse yard. Sometimes it"s difficult to watch out for all of the children, but the hill is a good spot for that.
Groups of actors and stakeholders in your community
- In a school usually there are 3 main groups: students, teachers and parents.
- In the hungarian primary school system we distinguish 2 groups: from the 1st to the 4th grade the lower classes and from the 5th to the 8th grade the upper classes. These two groups have different study programs and usually there is a big change in the behavior of the children when they step to the 5th grade.
- The main user group of the schoolyard are obviously the students. There is always a supervising teacher with them outside.
- During events, beside the students, the teachers and the parents are also becoming the users of the schoolyard.
