Alexandra Lange's book, The Design of Childhood, explores the vital role of environmental factors in children's learning. Drawing from her childhood experiences and the nostalgia of the one-room schoolhouse, Lange critiques how modern educational spaces impact learning. She emphasizes the often-overlooked aspects such as room size, natural light, and furnishings, arguing that these elements are crucial for effective education. While schools represent significant investments in education, many still reflect outdated designs focused predominantly on traditional teaching methods, limiting children’s potential.
In that really tight space in front of the kid's face. And as someone interested in design I'm always interested in, what kind of room are you in?
The physical plants of schools represent the biggest capital investment in the provision of education, so they tend to stay in use as long as possible.
