Cable gondolas are rides people hop into whenever they want to cross over a deep ravine or a gushing river. Gliding in a cable car that cuts through the dense air is really enjoyable. So, a classroom built inside a cable car will definitely thrill all the little ones. One such cable classroom has been designed recently and the basic structure consists of a lightweight steel cabin with an operable roof. The casing made from glazed glass and a louvered wood skin fills the interiors with sunlight. The marvelous classroom brings children closer to nature and promotes learning through observation as they get a good view of the scenery outside.
The interiors can accommodate about 10-20 children at a time. Two floors will be created inside using lumber. The lower level will be a playroom while the one above will be the learning center. The layout is neat and all basic amenities like seats, desks, storage cupboards and wash closets are provided inside. Moreover, the louvers will have wind turbines for generating power. Thus, the space designed for fun learning, is also eco friendly.
The classroom is crafted for Frick Park in Pittsburgh. The 9000 feet expanse of Frick Park has meadows, forests, rivers and creeks and the entire span can now be traversed easily due to the fast moving cable classroom. Stop over’s of the tour include the 3 Frick follies designed on the theme of meadow, slag and water. The classroom will have a Home Base that accommodates an office, restroom, waiting area for parents, garden and a small gallery. The proposal to design an outdoor classroom that will also function as an environment center was taken up by Landscape Prosthetic Project.
