Education

While office spaces, hospitality and housing design have evolved tremendously over the decades, the physical development of educational spaces has largely stood still.

Drawing on our growing experience in educational architecture, we understand that learning environments – from primary schools and vocational institutes to universities, libraries, and research labs – must move beyond traditional spatial models.

They need to enable spatial flexibility and pedagogical adaptability. The most relevant aspects of contemporary learning culture –

» co-creation,

» experience-based learning,

» interdisciplinary collaboration,

» problem-solving,

» research,

» and design thinking

– require individually adaptable environments that support the dynamically changing needs of students, educators, and visiting professionals.

These spaces must foster curiosity, promote informal learning opportunities, and remain accessible and intuitive to navigate.

Existing knowledge of how physical space can support and enhance learning and cognitive performance has not been reflected, so there’s a lot of catching up to do.
