“I never teach my students. I only provide the conditions in which they can learn.”

-Albert Einstein

SPACES TO AFFECT LEARNING

Provide the physical environment in which learning is supported and enhanced.

What are the characteristics of a

great place to learn?

Function to Form

EXPERIMENTAL: The character and relationships of the spaces allow the users to conceive of and try new ways of doing things while discovering and integrating the unexpected.

EXHILARATING: The elements of the physical space create a powerful positive emotional response and build powerful individual expectations.

SOCIAL: A catalyst for planned and accidental human connection and interaction.
