Co-designing school spaces with pupils

This presentation outlines how Shape My School, a successful co-design and educational programme for primary school pupils, delivers tangible social value. Our presentation offers practical strategies that education estate professionals, designers, and school leaders can apply in co-design processes to create more inclusive learning environments across Wales.

Total Health Performance in Schools

Come and learn from Architype’s latest insights from extensive monitoring of Welsh schools, undertaken by Chryssa Thoua for her PhD with UCL.
Using industry-first techniques, this research quantifies the relative harmfulness of conventional schools compared to those built with bio-based materials with an efficient and ventilated indoor environment.
These findings are being presented to help support those undertaking future school build projects to understand how to achieve the best total health performance for the next generation.
