Should the language of permeable and permeability be infused into the process of planning learning spaces into the future?
LSC Roundtables were designed as a forum for academics and architects to scout into the future—to identify and make the case for audacious questions to drive shaping of 21st century spaces for learning for 21st century learners. This question was posed by an architect in a 2017 roundtable, making the case that the language of planning shapes mental images of what spaces should become, can become.
That question will be explored in many ways through LSC activities in the coming year.
