ruminations about architecture and design

an american classroom in 2011

The architectural spaces for education should be talked about more frequently in the nation. New schools, presumably are better than older schools when it comes to the design of the classroom, but based on what I I've seen I doubt that anyone has made dramatic improvements. The chairs here are uncomfortable, but durable. The lighting is harsh but adequate. The floor is uninspiring. This teacher has gone to great lengths to personalize and humanize the space. Visual clutter is probably good for learning spaces and that needs to have engaged users, not just architects.
