Speakers & Case Studies:
Herman Hertzberger - Keynote Address
Dr. George Copa - Learning at the Margins: Implications for Designing Learning Environments
Reino Tapaninen - Schools of the Future: The Need for Open and Flexible Spaces
“The enormous progress of information technology has made possible information searches from networks outside school, cooperation networks between schools and contacts with other partners and homes. Learning is no longer bound to time and place.” Reino Tapaninen
Daniel Duke - Designing a Place for Problem Solving: The Center for Applied Technology and Career Exploration
Norman Dull - Designing for the Unknown
“Teachers use mobile carts as desks … movable walls and furniture allow the staff and students to adjust the rooms to their needs. The building has student ’streets’ instead of halls, with porches serving as entries to each neighborhood.”
Joe Nathan - School Size and Quality — What Does This Mean for the Future?
Dan Bodette - Creating a Building Design for an Integrated Approach to Teaching and Learning
Jaap F. Westbroek - The School as a Building for Lifelong Learning
Gert Jan Meijer - Concept Development as the Key to Innovative Accommodation
Workshops:
Location
“Learning is the ‘glue’ of livable communities. Quality of relationships advance as we move from information to knowledge to understanding.”
Jim Dyck
Space
“Diversity in places for learning is an absolute necessity.”
Jan Wagemakers, Jeff Lackney, Elly Reinders
Time
“Time is a critical component that shapes educational systems and school buildings. However, it is an element whose impact is rarely considered.”
Prakash Nair, Hans van Aalst
Scale
“…size has long been used interchangeably with scale, size is just one characteristic of scale. Scale is also defined by its context, its pattern of parts, its syntax.”
Pam Loeffelman.
Cost
“The use of community and other facilities will also allow for tremendous economies in the development of our future schools.”
Gaylaird Christopher
Context
“The learning process enables people to be effective in their work, families, and communities. This context, however, is in constant flux. …the more we move toward virtual reality, the more we need context.”
Lia Burger, William Bradley
