#Chai_chat 08 An educational institution serves to inspire kids into breaking out their shell and explore what lies beyond. What if the built form of the institution itself act as a spark to ignite such thoughts. For that to happen, there should be a strong impetus. One such aspect would be when the very form breaks away from a traditional way of approach. This is especially true in case of gathering spaces within such campus, for these are traditionally the best locations for the exchange of ideas! Thoughts flow best when they are not forced to work within a guideline. This is the place where there can be discussions and deliberations on what they see, how they perceive and ask themselves how "they" would do it.. #Education would come a full circle when the student asks himself/herself how better they could do something that is already in place. Here is our scheme for an auditorium/multi use space in a prestigious college. This #Chai_chat, let us know your thoughts and we hope that this will help us explore new boundaries, as designers, and as users! Cheers! #auditorium #design #scheme #builtform

📣😁 Check it out! Altro Australia’s recent whitepaper on the importance of Designing Inclusive Education Spaces. 🧠 As a neurodiverse individual, I'm so proud to share this! The paper highlights the need to understand how different brains function and how environments impact us uniquely. It's time to slow down, listen, and embrace these differences, especially in educational design. Take a moment to read this insightful piece. ➡️ Download the white paper here: https://lnkd.in/dcNW-3hQ #altroaus #whitepaper #educationdesign #interiordesign #education #altro #inclusivitydesign #design #sensorydesign #belonging #schooldesign #neurodiversity #educationsafety #sensory #sustainabledesign

As classrooms are being created in ways that increase comfort and flexibility, and nurture new learning styles, more thought is also going into the design of the spaces outside the classroom to encourage student collaboration. See examples of how architects and lighting designers are approaching the new demands of the learning environment with the thoughtful and innovative use of luminaires and light art. #LearningSpaces #ASSL

𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Transforming Educational Spaces 🏫🌱📚 The Danish Architecture Center (Dansk Arkitektur Center) offers great podcasts and recently I've listened to "Let’s talk architecture", where Eva Ravnborg from Henning Larsen architects unveils insights on creating equitable spaces at Frederiksbjerg School in Aarhus, Denmark. From accessible entrances to considerations for sensory sensitivities, Eva's expertise demonstrates how inclusivity enhances student success and wellbeing. As someone deeply interested in understanding inclusivity in architectural design, especially in educational buildings, these principles are vital. After all, education is where knowledge begins, and it's crucial to start making changes in order to see our world evolving to more sustainable way. If you’re interested in inclusive design, add your thoughts, advice on design strategies and useful resources you may use. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience! #inclusivedesign #sustainablearchitecture #biodiversity #education #equity

Empowered to be the Universal Design Specialist as I joined an online #workshop with 2L Architects & Engineers on designing inclusive learning spaces! We brought together a fantastic group of experts: architects Viktorija Blažienė, Elena Paleckytė, Justina Radzevič ️, sociologist Agnė Girkontaitė , educator Justas Paulikas, who transcended geographical boundaries ✈️. A Synergy of ✨ Bright Ideas! ✨ This #collaboration embodied the very spirit of #inclusion we were striving to achieve. Each member's unique perspective, from sociology and education to architecture and universal design (♿️), fueled a powerful #synergy. Through #brainstorming sessions that sparked like #lightbulbs and open communication, we translated the needs of all learners into practical solutions for classrooms and auditoriums (🪟🪑). Award-Winning Designs, Focused on Accessibility! Our collaborative efforts yielded remarkable results! We developed innovative concepts for flexible furniture that adapts to #diverse learning needs, ensuring comfort and focus for all. Easy movement through the learning environments became a priority, with clear paths (🟢), excellent lighting (☀️), and inclusive features for everyone. Smart design principles incorporated carefully selected #colors to boost creativity and sound insulation for a comfortable and conducive learning atmosphere. The Importance of Collaboration: The 2L Architects & Engineers workshop perfectly exemplified the power of collaboration and research. By bringing together a diverse group of experts, we explored the complexities of inclusive design from a variety of perspectives. This cross-disciplinary approach ensured that every aspect of the learning environment considered the needs of all learners .
