Drumbrae, University of Edinburgh
The project sits within a wider Learning Landscape Framework for Cockburn Woods, developed in collaboration with landscape architects Land Use Consultants.
A network of tactile trails, sensory planting and woodland clearings will encourage visitors to move through the landscape and engage with natural processes, from soil and water, to plants, wildlife and seasonal change.
Along these routes, a series of small encounter points will create places to pause, gather and reflect. These include raised platforms, sculptural seating and simple timber structures that frame views, encourage listening, and provide moments of interaction with the woodland environment.
Operating entirely off-grid and powered by renewable energy, the facility demonstrates how small, carefully considered interventions can support education, biodiversity and long-term landscape stewardship.
