The Eco-Future School is a primary school in Carlisle Lane, Waterloo, aimed at equipping the next generation of children to be eco-warriors.
An eco-warrior is an individual who is directly
engaged with their natural landscape and understands their impact on the environment by way of sustainability and carbon footprint for example.
The Eco-Future School proposes an exciting landscape inspired by Adventure Playgrounds from the 60s and the Grand Canyon. In a world where human comfort can cause a disconnect with the outside world, in this school, children are encouraged to grow their own food and play outside in, around and under built rock-like forms.
