This is (NOT) a school!

The 4^th year studio questioned what education is and what implications this has on the space needed, used, and appropriated for education, predicting the future of learning spaces in an era of climate emergency.

The challenge goes beyond redesigning physical spaces like schools; it requires rethinking and transforming the very principles upon which these institutions are founded. Is it still the only accepted way of teaching to keep our children in an enclosed environment during a time when their brains are developing? Is confining students to enclosed environments the best approach during critical stages of cognitive development? More importantly, how can we ensure that we equip them with the tools needed to navigate unpredictability, rather than teaching from outdated syllabi developed in the last century?

All students developed diverse spatial scenarios, rethinking spaces for learning. These satellite spaces can range from diverse complexities, focussing on the arrangement of spaces or the pure tectonic of these buildings. Students were encouraged to think outside the predicted and challenge the idea of learning for the future.
