This was our first Safety Assessment of a proposal for an architecture competition. It gives a good concrete advice on what specific aspects need to be improved in order to make the proposal for the new school as safe as possible for students, employees and visitors. We looked at different issues in the physical environment and proposed solutions. It was so great to take a concrete to built project and brainstorm with colleges about the issues. Moreover, this was a pro-bono project which actually gave us a foundation for further similar projects. The best thing was it was on our own initiative (no assignment), creative yet evidence-based, based on a concrete plan. Furthermore, it was fun to assess a proposal of one of Scandinavia's biggest architecture firms 😉 In general the best thing of working at Safer Sweden is the interaction and knowledge exchange between us as employees, so in this project. Unfortunately the report is in Swedish but you get an impression of the work. I'll attache a English translation of our model on which we do our analyses. We are working on increasing our English communication and output 😉
