vista Explanation: I have taken this from the Robert Collins dictionary, I suppose mainly applied to landscapes. My Littré says 'vue resserrée entre des collines, des maisons'. It presumably means features along or through which you can see the 'CRAF' (whatever that is). Maybe it just means a series of large windows. |

(open) line of sight Explanation: Not blocked by walls, doors, office furniture. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-09-04 19:41:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The siting of the school makes a difference to safety, e.g. buildings around the perimeter make a safe internal haven that is good in school hours, but not after hours because you can't see in from the road; clustering the buildings together does not provide LINE OF SIGHT to the road. [ ... ] if day time community use is planned for any facilities on the school site, the school also needs to plan for monitoring useage; provide LINES OF SIGHT to all areas and unauthorized people will be noticed. [ ... ] There is tension between the need for a safe secure school and OPEN LINE OF SIGHT - and the human need for small intimate spaces. Do not let safety be stultifying. http://www.minedu.govt.nz/educationSectors/Schools/SchoolOpe... |
