Yes, architecture for children, and architecture for their community! Will America rediscover the benefits of Architecture for neighborhoods centered around schools where children are the connectors for families, increasing a desirable "sense of community" within our cities? Coming out of the pandemic, is it possible for us to involve the Architects in a resurgence of building uplifting and hope-filled architecture that inspires us? Or, will we find excuses to fall to the bottom of balance sheets to reduce first costs that can lead to the making of depressingly boring buildings of no spiritual value? Is defeatism the Zeitgeist nowadays? That's not very American. We must shake it off, from the grass roots up! Children are full of hope. Let's build for their potential. Let's enliven their optimism and symbolize it as the right vibe to instill in our places, which are best when built with Architecture! Let's create the conditions for their better future. Let's reach the future with a smile and joy of being alive. Let's do it together. Let's do it for them. (Remember, we will need them when we are elderly and dependent upon them... I believe the adage is, "What goes around comes around"... We do ourselves justice by doing them right when we create architecture, neighborhoods, and community supportive cities. Thoughts?)

How can we use architecture as a tool to facilitate holistic models of education? Architecture emerges as a powerful tool, shaping learning environments that go beyond conventional classrooms. Free-flowing spaces that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor areas foster a conducive atmosphere for learning and collaboration among students. Holistic education, emphasising values, adaptability, and curiosity, aligns with contemporary needs, preparing students to engage with the dynamic world. The shift towards collaborative teaching methodologies highlights the importance of spaces that facilitate communication and collaboration, ultimately enriching students' learning experiences. Sustainability becomes intrinsic to holistic education, with schools serving as platforms to instil environmental values through outdoor-based learning models. As the built environment influences our daily lives, the harmonious integration of design and education lays the foundation for a sustainable and well-rounded future.

The significance of responsive design cannot be emphasized enough. Architects, collaborating with educators and administrators, develop spaces that cater to the distinctive requirements of special education populations and share with districts and communities best practices for the implementation of Universal Design principles in classrooms and buildings. Our recently published whitepaper, "Building and Classroom Design for Special Needs Populations", addresses this topic and shares design strategies for spaces that meet the needs of all student populations. #k12architecture #specialeducation #learningenvironments https://lnkd.in/eeazCh3R

Educational facilities from primary to university need solutions to maximize their square footage without redesigning their floor plan and that can adapt to the demands of our busy, multipurpose classrooms. Operable partitions between classrooms create the opportunity to separate or combine classroom space. Automated operable partitions that function with a simple keypad, like Skyfold, give teachers the ability to reconfigure their classrooms themselves, without the help of janitors, and within a matter of minutes, making it easy to transform spaces according their minute-to-minute needs. Click the link below to discover how Skyfold's operable walls increase the flexibility in the classroom. https://lnkd.in/eBiV6DRZ #thinkvertical #flexiblespace #architecture #interiordesign #skyfold #innovation #trending
