“Most of today’s classrooms are designed with the teacher at the center. But if the classroom is focused on the learner instead, then learning becomes paramount.” –Rick Dewar, OWP/P pg 59 [Syvertsen, John, Thomas Muller and Bruce Mau. The Third Teacher.

“As design professionals, we want to know the requirement – what’s this room for/ But kids see things just as they are. My son picked up a pretzel and called it a cloud, a zero, a lasso. Kids can make something out of anything. As a program requirement, we have to allow these spaces to be anything.”” –Peter Brown, pg 242 [Syvertsen, John, Thomas Muller and Bruce Mau. The Third Teacher. New York: Abrams, 2010.]
