Overview: The paradigm of architecture and the paradigm of neuroscience are merging as we being to understand the impact of the environment on not only our cognitive ability to learn but our sense of safety, curiosity, and belonging. The question goes from how do we teach here to how do we learn here?
The buildings in which we learn are now understood as fundamental catalysts for deep learning and understanding the connection allows us to design spaces that are good for our bodies, minds, and souls.
CEU Learning Objectives:
• Create a connection between research and the impact on learners within the learning enviornment both cognitively and socially within the aim of creating spaces both ‘well’ and ‘well designed’
• Gain an understanding of prescriptive vs. performance standards and indentify five critical performance design standards and their impact on our ability to learn.
• Link the understanding gained from research to identify new performance standards/design considerations for creating healthier learning environments.
• Identify actionable strategies for implementing these standards for both new schools and modernization of existing spaces.
