This document has been produced to document architectural design work by a unit of third year architectural design students at the University of Edinburgh taught over five successive years (2004-8). It represents the work to a wider audience to provide an architectural response to the Scottish Government's education policy document 'A Curriculum for Excellence'. The designs suggest how the built environment could enable educators to deliver the Curriculum's aims and objectives in a more successful way. The students' work is seen as particularly useful when approaching the question - 'what is a primary school' as they are less constrained than real building proposals, hold no preconceptions of brief or client and tap into a freely creative train of thought.
