<strong>School</strong> – what is it for?


Space and Design<br />

“You are not your brain, you are a living being that is connected to an<br />

environment… We can’t explain consciousness in terms of the brain<br />

alone, because consciousness doesn’t happen in the brain alone”<br />

Alva Noe – Professor of Philosophy, Berkley


Space defines experience and…<br />

Experience is defined by our emotion!


“Many thought processes are not really conscious, but rather<br />

they happen outside of consciousness”<br />

<strong>School</strong>s need to value space – not develop more chicken<br />

battery boxes!


“Students cannot understand the value of ‘this is what we don’t know’ – they think it<br />

is not information, that they are learning nothing. Practitioners, on the other hand,<br />

value it immensely.”<br />

Nassim Nicholas Taleb – “Thinking”


Learning is shaped by equipment/furniture


Learning Pathways – out of the box


Learning Pods


Open spaces create open minds


<strong>Green</strong> <strong>School</strong> – Would You?<br />

“I couldn’t excel in<br />

anything, I had no skills,<br />

couldn’t pass a test!<br />

I knew I couldn’t get in<br />

the front door, so I had to<br />

build a ladder and climb<br />

through the second floor<br />

window.”<br />

John Hardy, Founder of<br />

<strong>Green</strong> <strong>School</strong>
