  Community School of Auchterarder: Phase 1 - Research & Development

  This is the first phase of a five-stage process towards the successful integration of artists and artworks into the new Community School of Auchterarder. Phase 1 is concerned with involving artists at the earliest stages of the design and implementation of the new school. A small team of artists worked closely with the design team, the school and the community to develop proposals and influence the design of the school and its surrounding spaces.

  The public art agency PACE has worked with this project throughout all five phases providing a continuity in the collaboration of artists with the architects, landscape architects, the school and community.

  Auchterarder, Perth & Kinross

  Community School of Auchterarder - Phase 4: The Square

  ” Artists were involved with the design of the school from an early stage, resulting in an unusual and stimuating school environment – artworks are integral to the structure rather than applied as an after-thought”.
  (Scottish Executive (2003) School Design. p33)

  The Square is a key public space situated between the new secondary school building and the community building. Artist Gordon Young collaborated with landscape architect Sally Rickett to create a walkway and seating inspired by the geographic location of the school.
