Deborah, I have for the last near thirty years marveled at how
dreadful buildings for education have been as expressed in the modern
vernacular. It's often difficult to tell a public school from a public
jail. Or a factory.
I have worked in classrooms with no windows.
I have been discouraged by how the structure is similar to an egg
crate - with limits collaboration between classrooms and adults.
I could go on. But, I have thought about the architecture a lot,
and hated what I had to work in. The buildings have all been built with
the 'bottom line' as the final consideration.
