Yet it is also strongly committed to inherited values and traditions. Whether it is for Reggio Emilia concepts of early childhood development; team based integration in the Middle Years; learning with a sophisticated and entrepreneurial focus at Senior School; or Information and Communications Technology everywhere … education is looking for new solutions and sometimes struggling with old facilities. Characteristically, our clients: emphasise quality wish to combine strong aesthetic statement with practicality seek flexibility demand high value for money The FMSA approach is to invest the necessary time to gain an in depth understanding of the individual setting, the school culture, its many intense and complx activities, its people. We ensure that we have thoroughly grasped the values, needs and aspirations of our client. On this foundation we truly can provide a contextual design and unique solutions. We contribute added value by thinking ‘outside the square’, and being alert to strategic or tactical opportunities. An FMSA master plan articulates the school to the school – to its students, staff and community. It manages spatial and functional relationships, the flow of people, the aesthetic tone of buildings and landscape to achieve a human scale, quality environment, as well as engineering and planning elegance. Naturally, ESD principles inform our designs. In schools, we believe that it is important not just that the campus or building is environmentally responsible. It must be seen to be so – must demonstrate or even dramatise environmental values to the students.
