Imagine Learning ... been thinking

I have been trying to get my head around the possibility that space in a school could be designed around more contrasting, conflicting and multifunctional uses than we have explored to date. Why couldn’t an area suited for comfortable conversation and food be suitable in an instant for collaborative learning? Why couldn’t a corridor become the space for group listening? Why couldn’t an entrance become a foyer become a function centre become a learning space - be useable/flexible/adaptable in any context?

There are some other questions? What would happen if we grouped people around a vision, rather than administration? What could an administration space become if it was designed around constant collaboration? How do we cater for 1 on 1? Do we need 1 on 1? How do we cater for staff working-in-private expectations? 

Just thinking …

I’ll load some photos to capture some of the possibilities floating around in my mind …
