The document proposes designs for renovating the humanities block at a school. It suggests including double entrances and rotating doors to reduce crowding, as well as comfortable seating areas for small group work. Classrooms would have upgraded technology and furniture for flexible use. Different subject areas would be color-coded and identified by room numbers. Facilities such as IT rooms, breakout spaces, and toilets would be distributed on each floor for student access and use.
Students at Priory School worked on a "Space Explorers" project to provide feedback on the school's spaces to leaders and architects. They created word clouds, collages and 3D models to describe spaces and perceptions. Students met with leaders to discuss ideas for improving the school, including wider corridors, breakout rooms, and better technology access. They learned skills like collaboration, problem solving, and presenting their ideas to adults.
The document discusses different types of chemical bonds including covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and discusses related concepts like atoms, molecules, ions, and crystal lattices.
This document discusses exploring spaces from different perspectives, such as that of a "little person" or person with a different role or identity. Students engage in activities where they take photos of spaces from a little person's perspective and wear "magic glasses" and take on character roles to experience spaces differently. They evaluate what makes spaces feel comfortable or uncomfortable and which groups use spaces and how. The goal is to redesign a school space, considering different groups' wants, needs and perspectives to improve the space for all.

1. This document is Maria Duda's 2019 portfolio, which summarizes several of her interior and spatial design projects including a collaborative studio space with retail, meditation cabins, and an office design for Ecometrica.
2. One project featured is Flow, a series of silent meditation cabins designed to reconnect visitors to themselves and their surroundings through their senses with features like a wood-burning stove, green roof, and remote forest locations.
3. Another project is an exhibition design for the Ginger Museum at the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art celebrating Scottish redheads, with five spaces exhibiting artifacts, interactive displays, and relaxation areas for visitors of all ages.
The document outlines an action plan to improve classroom conditions. It identifies 5 key points of focus: 1) Replace desks and chairs with movable, collaborative workspaces; 2) Create collaborative working spaces by removing unused items; 3) Replace blackboards with whiteboards and add a dry-erase brainstorming wall; 4) Add a "genius bar" area with laptops and mount a TV for presentations; 5) Transform an unused teaching area into a reading lounge with bean bag chairs and bookshelves. The overall goal is to revolutionize classrooms into student-focused, collaborative learning spaces.
The document discusses the concept of "activity-based working", an office model where private workspaces are eliminated in favor of shared, flexible workspaces. It notes that traditional offices waste significant space through underutilized individual offices and cubicles. Activity-based working dispenses with private spaces and instead uses shared tables and spaces that anyone can use when available. This maximizes space use and encourages collaboration as employees from different teams interact. However, some quiet space may still be needed for focused individual work or meetings. Security of sensitive information is also a consideration with this more open office model. While change can be difficult for some, the cost and space savings are likely to result in more companies adopting activity-based
Coworking involves sharing a working environment with others in an open and collaborative space. The document advertises a upcoming coworking space in Yerevan, Armenia that will provide desks, wifi, coffee, and other amenities for a monthly fee. Residents will have access to conference rooms, events, and a community of innovators and entrepreneurs. The coworking house aims to foster networking, collaboration on projects, and involvement in various initiatives happening in the space. It has 20 desks available and encourages questions about registering.
The document provides tips for maximizing space in a multi-purpose room. It recommends starting by identifying needs and priorities. Then create a floor plan on a blank slate and consider arranging items and zoning areas for different functions. Using multi-functional furniture like beds that double as seating can help utilize space. Built-ins provide storage while saving floor space. Balance different areas and make the space personal through custom details. The example of remodeling an office space demonstrates applying these tips to create distinct zones for a media area, bar, guest room and storage within the limited space.
Dr. Lumpkin is unhappy with the design of her library for several reasons. The library is next to a noisy student commons area, preventing her from teaching two periods per day. There is no natural lighting as the glass panels face inside, not outside. Furniture was designed for middle school students so she had to redesign shelving. The upstairs seating area is only accessible by stairs and a hallway, creating safety and classroom management issues. Exits lead to unsupervised areas where students could leave unnoticed.
The learning commons at Brooklet Elementary School provides a welcoming space for students to learn, read, and collaborate. The commons contains traditional shelves alongside more colorful and movable furnishings to accommodate students. Technology like Chromebooks and a 3D printer are available. The school also provides online resources for virtual learning. While the space serves students well currently, growing enrollment may require expanding the commons or acquiring more e-books to address storage issues. Updating furniture to stack and roll will maximize existing space. Overall the commons aims to meet students' evolving needs.
The document provides instructions for an activity where students create characters representing different air masses and place them on a map of the British Isles. They are told to shade each character according to the air temperature, add appropriate clothing, and symbols showing wind and precipitation. Students are then instructed to glue a map to their page, stick the characters in the correct locations, draw arrows indicating the direction of each air mass, and write descriptions of how each air mass affects the weather and climate.
This document provides information about plate tectonics and associated geological phenomena. It begins by describing the layers of the Earth, including the inner and outer core, mantle, and crust. It notes key differences between oceanic and continental crust, and explains convection currents in the mantle.

Checklist 2016 - OCR B GCSE specificationMrs Coles
Afforestation can affect river flow in 3 ways:
(1) Trees intercept rainfall which reduces surface runoff entering rivers.
(2) Vegetation increases lag time as seen on hydrographs, slowing river volume.
(3) Less water enters rivers and reaches them more slowly due to interception and reduced surface runoff from vegetation.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Priory school floorplanner
1. www.floorplanner.com
Double entrances will
make it less crowded at
changeover. Rotating
doors means we won’t
get pushed into doors.
A relaxed learning area.
Room to sit in small
groups to read and work
on group projects
independently. Comfy
seats please!
The rooms are built
around a quad with lots of
windows. There are plants
and benches to sit at
during wet breaks. We can
also work here.
Wider corridors and more
entrances/exits so it gets less
crowded. Might need to be
one-way still. Plants in the
corridor and art-work /
sculptures by students.
This is our design for how the new humanities block could look at a future Priory.This is our design for how the new humanities block could look at a future Priory.
2. Classrooms all have big
interactive whiteboards
and projector screens.
There is no glare from the
windows because they
have built-in blinds inside
them.
Tables are more flexible
so you can work in
groups or break off in
pairs / alone. Chairs are
more comfy.
Flexible workspace with casual
seating as well as some desks.
We can work independently
here, brainstorm, practice
things, work on projects.
3. Different subjects should
have different coloured
rooms + doors to make them
obvious. The room numbers
should start with a letter to
show the department too.
Like H1 for history.
Each area / floor should have an
IT room with Macs and up-to-
date PC machines. Both types of
computer are helpful. Laptops
too that can be borrowed to
other rooms. Comfy office chairs
here.
A break-out room connected
to the classroom. Space to
do something creative with
more room. Role plays,
practice debates, etc. . We
have to go out on the stairs
now and it’s noisy.
5. We think we have a human
right to have access to nice
toilets close by, on every
floor. With clean drinking
water too.
Each room has access to 10 laptops at any
time, locked away or in desks. More can be
booked when we need them but some are
always there so we can do research. We
are also allowed to use our phones to
access the web to help us.
Hard wearing carpet in each room will
help keep noise down between
rooms and keep them warmer in
winter. Rooms have air-con in
summer so we can concentrate
more.
