Materials and colours

At first glance, the dominating materials at the case-area are undoubtedly red bricks, mowed grass and asphalt. But also other materials are present, such as wood, hardplast, stones, metal, rubber, glass, bare soil and other vegetation types. In addition to mowed grass, this includes cut bushes, rows of trees and few areas of spontanous flowering vegetation. All these textures are important in relation to how the area appears visually, but also tactilely. Many of the materials at the site is worn and need renovation.

The use of materials also decides the colour scale of the area. The colors at the site are overall dull and consist of many shades of gray, brown and orange. Bringing more colours and new textures into the future project could create a more inspiring and playful school ground.
