The Edgeless School: Design for Learning
The Edgeless School: Design for Learning has been extended to May 22, 2013.
What do you remember most from school: a favorite teacher, a great book, a singular moment of discovery? And what is the setting of that memory? Do you think the design of the space affected the learning experience? The Edgeless School: Design for Learning presents nineteen 21st century school buildings from across the U.S. that blur distinctions between learning needs, approaches, and environments.
Curator: Thomas Mellins
Senior Research Consultant: Edith Ackermann
Exhibition Design: Sage and Coombe Architects
Graphic Design: Hyperakt
The exhibition and related programs are organized by the AIA New York Chapter in collaboration with the Committee on Architecture for Education and the Center for Architecture Foundation.
