The Collision of AGILE and MESSY
Transforming learning through physical space
Sponsored by VS America, Inc. | Presented by David Stubbs II
Webinar On-Demand
Authentic learning can be quite messy, thus the necessity to recognize the requirements and disconnects of space as it relates to clutter. Within the walls of educational environments, cluttered classroom environments are negatively affecting the health, safety, and potential of its learners. As designers, we sometimes continue the delivery of “kitchen cabinets” within classrooms without the knowledge that this antiquated harboring device is simply not suited for today’s set of resources. Subsequent responses of simply removing all available cabinetry, shifting the emphasis to wheels, is placing an additional burden on space.
This presentation will explore fresh, new innovative concepts for appropriate systematic solutions, as well as guidelines and recommendations for the housing of these resources. We will explore a variety of designed solutions and themes, focusing on observed disconnects and hurdles.
