Torrey Hills students work with architects, AI to envision a new outdoor learning space
From The San Diego Union-Tribune
Torrey Hills School fifth graders recently took part in a design thinking challenge with national design firm LPA Architects, reimagining one of the school’s existing outdoor learning spaces. For the project, students used artificial intelligence (AI) as a creative tool to redesign an area on campus that is scheduled for improvements next year.
According to a district news release, the series of three workshops with LPA invited students to think like designers, architects, and problem-solvers as they explored how an outdoor space could better support the district goals of wellness, creativity, collaboration and belonging.
In their designs, students envisioned water features such as aquariums and ponds, snack cafés and healthy vending machines, decorative painted rocks and bright wall graphics, opportunities for play like a ball pit and giant slides, and even a living flower wall.
