teaching space taxonomy
• web patterns (even interaction):
- unmoderated group (<15 people, round table, group conversation)
- moderated (~70 people, more structured (i.e. business school)
• star patterns (dyadic interaction – instructor vs. students):
- lecture (speech – asymmetric relationship)
- demonstration (activity, object or process)
- studio (individual tasks + dyadic interaction with instructor)
web pattern
star pattern
• clusters (large group divided into small clusters):
- studio (instructor interacting with clusters – primary education)
- separated (large group separated into smaller – higher education)
clusters
• mixed patterns:
- concerto grosso (moderated web as exhibit for large audience)
- intermittent conversations (student or group presents =>
class discusses the work
mixed pattern

design principles
• program-driven facility - “form follows function” Louis Sullivan
• expresses university’s values and goals
• flexibility to accommodate future educational changes (fixtures, furniture, equipment, storage etc.)
• “non precious” - easy to mess around in but difficult to mess up (permanent damage)
- ease of cleaning, storage (ongoing projects), durable furniture
• new philosophy of space use:
- discuss, analyze, compare, negotiate, hypothesize,
and problem solving through group activity
• self directed environment (corporate world) vs. controlled (high school)
• well-lighted space – artificial emulating daylight
- diffused daylight (avoid heat & glare =>
use full spectrum filters, clerestory, skylights, etc.)
PureLite® Incandescent Natural Daylight –
filters out yellow spectrum

reconfigurable spaces
• “ANGELS”
intelligent agents – lighter than air (work as independent
spatial features or combine to assemble
virtually infinite constructs.
