this schematic is about "making space" which allows the student to inhabit a welcoming environment and encourages them to interact and become a part of their educational environment. removing the florescent lighting overhead minimizes the elongated hallway effect. while the pendent lighting of the seating area is purposeful and welcoming. from my precedent study at the beginning of the semester, the Thurston elementary school resembled a residence because the administration felt that it would promote a smoother transition from home to school for the students. this precedent inspired me to create personalized areas for the students, just as if they were at home.

i like how you wrapped the space in the wood slat mechanism. Im using the idea of phases and wrapping + zones in my proposal as well.
