PERMEABLE EDUCATION

CAN EDUCATIONAL SPACES UTILIZING PERMEABLE ARCHITECTURE INFORM A CULTURE OF LIFELONG LEARNING?

Permeable education looks to increase access to life skills education in a community. Through the combination of permeable architecture practices and a flexible education model, interaction between community members will increase, bringing schools back to the center of the community. A permeable environment allows all community members to come together and recognize their mutual strengths. This recognition of ideas has the power to influence the culture of a community through the physical and intellectual movement between the built environment and the greater community.

The 'Perch' is a collaborative space where both the traditional and non-traditional user groups can gather to interact and learn from one another.

A space filled with natural light, this commons area doubles as a cafeteria space and a multi use space that opens up to the outdoor gardens.

Learning spaces transform to fit the needs of each class. The dividing walls are customizable and allows for ultimate flexibility in the space.
