Unfortunately, the Abbotsfield School for Boys and Fleet Architects 'T-Rex School' collaboration lost out in the Design Live event at BSEC 2010, placing third. The view of judges’, EC Harris, was that the School-a-saurus was not deliverable, despite it being a metaphor.
Fleet's aim was to encourage the students to develop a brief for a new or redeveloped school and invited them to draw comparisons between the organs of the body and the existing and possible departments of the school. The model had an inflating, beating heart representing a new shared social space where students and teachers come together, whereas the eyes represented the all seeing offices of the Head and the Deputy.
