Abstract
Today kids are different, even 5 year olds have opinions. Both little kids and big kids are looking for meaningful changes that allow them to better utilise their facilities in a way that connects learning with the world as it is. As designers, we have a chance to connect architecture with learning. Today’s school design should reflect a powerful commitment to the potential for education reform, a kind of reform that allows for the appropriate connection between learner and teacher, between the individual and society. We need to provide facilities that link curriculum development with the community and balance comprehensive learning with personalised outcomes.
