Where We Learn: Reimagining Educational Spaces

The spaces where learning takes place, once static, have expanded well beyond the classroom walls to extend into more flexible and interactive environments.

Where we learn investigates how learning spaces are evolving to make them more attractive, flexible and, in general, better suited to current challenges and opportunities.

When learning spaces are designed not just to adapt to new learning models, but to take advantage of them, they have catalytic potential for improving the way knowledge is shared and retained. Once static, the spaces where learning takes place have expanded far beyond the classroom walls to extend to more flexible and interactive environments.

Where We Learn offers some of the newest thinking on the design and operation of new environments better suited to contemporary pedagogical practices. This book sheds light on more than 40 projects around the world, from kindergartens, schools, and universities to libraries, study cafes, and museums. Aimed at readers interested in understanding the broader impact of design on the human experience, Where We Learn highlights imaginative projects while remaining grounded in practical contexts and real-world settings.
