NYC Center for Architecture - The Edgeless School: Design for Learning

The Edgeless School: Design for Learning

  

Met with Catherine Teegarden, Director of Education at the Center for Architecture Foundation, AIA New York Chapter and viewed the current exhibition, The Edgeless School: Design for Learning, October 1, 2012 - and now extended to May 25, 2013.

The exhibition focuses on how technology is impacting on  the way in which architects and educators are approaching the design of learning environments.

What do you remember most from school: a favorite teacher, a great book, a singular moment of discovery? And what is the setting of that memory? Do you think the design of the space affected the learning experience?

The exhibition presents nineteen 21st century school buildings from across the US that blur distinctions between learning needs, approaches and environments.
