Building learning places

Building learning places - and learning about places and buildings!

The built environment is hugely important to all of us, allowing us to live our lives in particular ways, and perhaps even constraining our lives in ways we don't yet recognise or understand. The buildings in which we live and work shape the way we look at ourselves and others, with questions of perceived status revealed by the condition of the environments in which people can be found. This, of course, is why Building Schools for the Future is such an interesting project, with opportunities abounding to make bold statements about the value we as a society put on our children - and on education.
