O'DonnellBrown uses recycled materials for outdoor learning pavilion in Scottish park
Skylights made from a patchwork of recycled phone, tablet and laptop screens create a rainbow-like lighting effect inside this pavilion at Strathclyde Country Park in Scotland, designed by O?DonnellBrown Architects with artist Kate V Robertson.
Overlooking Strathclyde Loch, the 80-square-metre Rainbow Pavilion was commissioned by North Lanarkshire Council as the first project in a new arts strategy for the park encouraging collaborations between artists, architects and the community.
The Rainbow Pavilion is located in Strathclyde Country Park in Scotland and was designed by O'DonnellBrown and Kate V Robertson
Glasgow-based O'DonnellBrown worked with local artist Kate V Robertson and children from the nearby New Monkland Primary School to design the pavilion, which will host educational activities as well as private hires and events. Unveiled on Outdoor Classroom Day on 4 November, the pavilion is part of an ongoing project by the practice to promote outdoor learning spaces that began with the design of a prototype, the Community Classroom, during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown.
The pavilion will be used as an outdoor classroom
?Furthering our ideas for what a healthy and inspiring learning space can be, the shelter will be an adaptable resource to help schools deliver progressive outdoor learning experiences,? said practice director Jennifer O'Donnell.
Using the same structural principles as the Community Classroom, the shelter has been created using sections of whitewash...
