“…Due to their specific qualities glass systems have expanded the possibilities of art of creating buildings. The use of glass not only has given new qualities to the very architecture and its interior decoration, but also expanded previous functions, joining landscape, or outdoor architecture, building architecture and interior design, or indoors, into one spatial structure (Grietēna 2013;Strautmanis 1977). Artists and scientists of all times have been unceasingly looking for the keys of harmony trying to use them as precisely as possible (Kimberly 2001;Kundziņš 2008;Rumiež 2013).…”

Wide-ranging use of glass systems in modern sacral architecture extends the traditional dialogue between indoor and outdoor space and makes architects look for new forms or harmony between the two, at the same time keeping focus on the most important thing -sense of God's presence and idea of spiritual transcendence. Compositional application of coloristics, light and shadow under the impact of insolation and visual accents created by the play of light and shadow should underline altarpiece in church space creating the necessary balance and arranging priorities in the right order. Aesthetic harmony has a subordinated significance. A picturesque landscape seen through a glass system has only a subordinate importance. Harmony of indoor/outdoor space in sacral architecture is achieved only in those cases when expressing a hierarchy or priority values such as an altarpiece accentuated with the help of light, interior design opening to the sky, picturesque view of nature. In order to reach the maximum result a synthesis of mentioned methods is recommended.

“…In the scale of Latvia, as well as globally, persons forming the environment in their practices feel a growing need for interdisciplinary collaborative planning, and environment users in their daily routine feel the need for environmental integrity and harmony.

“…One direction analyses the interaction of landscape space and indoors, looking from the indoors to landscape space through glazed exterior surfaces of buildings, and the other from landscape space to the indoors. The first 4 criteria evaluate the interaction in the direction from indoors through the glazed plane of the building's facade in landscape space, while the fifth criterion evaluates the interaction of landscape space to indoors through the architectural form [38,40,41,44].…”

Designing primary school grounds for Nature-based learning: A review of the evidence

Nature-based learning within the primary school curriculum offers numerous potential benefits. However, there is a lack of clarity about how school grounds can be designed to enable effective nature-based learning. There is also little knowledge of how specific features within green school grounds contribute to specific desirable outcomes, such as improved academic performance or health. To address this gap, a systematised review of peer-reviewed academic literature was undertaken, with 173 databases searched from January to December 2021. The search included studies of nature-based learning on school grounds and literature concerned with the design of green school grounds for fostering nature connectedness and broader educational outcomes for primary school children aged 5 to 11. No date or geographical restrictions were applied. Of a total of 285 articles initially identified, 11 matched the inclusion criteria. Results from these indicate significant research gaps on the design of green learning spaces in schools. While studies note apparent positive links between nature-based learning in school grounds and improved subject-specific learning, wellbeing, and nature connectedness, there is very little empirical evidence of how specific design features are linked to specific outcomes. Furthermore, the current evidence base is poorly representative of different social, cultural, and geographical contexts and not fully reflective of all primary schooling ages. The challenging contexts of urban schools and schools with small footprints are also inadequately addressed. These findings indicate an urgent need for increased research to guide the design of school grounds for the implementation of nature-based learning programmes for primary school learners.
