Learning Spaces for Children Re-Imagined<br />
This brief responds to the stated intention of the Chinese government<br />
to prioritise education and to re-think the primary school educational<br />
model currently in operation in China. Aside from the readiness for<br />
change of the curriculum and the pedagogies used, this studio advances<br />
the significance of the physical environment that children learn both<br />
within and from.<br />
As such, students are asked to consider learning spaces as educational<br />
devices and to conceive of them as the Third Educator. The nature of<br />
spaces for learning in primary schools and kindergartens have been<br />
studied and proven to significantly impact upon children’s learning<br />
abilities and development.<br />
Through research and critical consideration of different educational<br />
models and theories in China and beyond (conventional, or alternative,<br />
traditional, or progressive, green or technology-focused) students are<br />
asked to gather a body of knowledge that enables them to develop an<br />
approach to primary schooling, and to envision how architecture’s often<br />
overlooked role in education can be challenged and re-imagined.<br />
The resulting designs ideally offer new primary school models for China<br />
that seek to successfully meet all the complexities and demands of<br />
modern Chinese society, are capable of embracing the high intensity of<br />
its continuous transformation, and are possibly even able to transform in<br />
response.<br />
