SIX Questions

1.) The building typology that I'm researching on is a school.

2.) I'm researching this building typology because knowing that schools are the foundation of learning and human activity, I would like to explore how human interaction/activity add to the learning process.

5.) The goals that I would like to achieve on this building type is to understand how the spaces affect the learning and creative process. Whether it inspires their learning design or how a space can create a better learning environment. In addition, how the product of one's creativity affects the artist's space.
