At DLR Group, we design with our clients, not for them. When we design K-12 education environments, our first step is to engage students and design the space to meet their needs. A particular focus for the design of Boys Town Education Center was the integration of art and the engagement of students in its creation.

GSAPP 2024 IN REVIEW: PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS 46+ Public Programs & Events 190+ Participants 70+ Hours of Recordings to View In 2024, GSAPP public programming brought faculty and students together alongside activists, architects, artists, designers, developers, ethnographers, historians, planners, policymakers, politicians, thinkers, and community organizers from around the world to work beyond disciplinary divides and interrogate the built environment. A broad variety of formats summarized and stated underrepresented histories, possible futures and paradigms that emerge from the cracks opened by intersecting crises (climate, ecological, societal, geopolitical, and technological). Did you attend an event at GSAPP in 2024? Let us know which one in the comments! https://lnkd.in/eD3yG3c2

🚨 A FEW HOURS LEFT TO SUBMIT! 🚨 The AIGA Design Educators Community (DEC) will host an educator track as part of Margins, the 2024 AIGA National Design Conference, to be held virtually on October 10-12, 2024. This call for proposals seeks submissions from educators, graduate students, and industry professionals that address ideas and topics connected to the theme Margins as it applies to design education and research. As the National conference call noted, margins represent spaces of opportunity, challenge, and innovation. Whether it's centering marginalized communities, embracing experimentation and failure, pursuing new avenues for teaching and research, or exploring new technologies, the DEC track for Margins encapsulates a spectrum of possibilities for design education and research. Proposals might address questions of... - Teaching practices and research that explore the margins of the discipline, including social justice, decolonization, accessibility, climate activism, and any other practice pushing the boundaries of the discipline and the role of design within the broader culture. - How design education and research can and does center marginalized communities and expands the discipline beyond the canon and Western design practices. - Exploring new technologies currently at the margins of design education research and how they will impact design practice and design education. - Institutional/Systemic changes regarding tenure requirements, paths to graduation, co-curricular programming, and new processes that re-imagines education and research as opportunity spaces that have been historically left at the margins for faculty, staff, and educators. - The margins of design research and education, including emergent practices and teaching methodologies and practices that will shape professional practice and student preparation in the near future. Proposals of 500 words or less are due by Friday, July 26, 2024. No extensions will be offered. Notifications will be sent in late August. All proposals will be reviewed in a double-blind peer-review process. See https://lnkd.in/gYKgyv8V for more details and for the submission form. #aigadec #designeducators

Let's take this discussion outside. This resource from CAST is a valuable tool for advancing pre-K education to where it, and all other education, works best - outside.

Discover the power of biophilic design with our Fractal Findings collection, perfect for K-12 and Higher Education environments. These scientifically backed fractal patterns, developed by 13&9 Design in collaboration with Dr. Richard Taylor of Fractals Research, were designed to reduce stress and enhance well-being, creating a nurturing space for students to learn. We also consulted with PBK – the global leader in educational design – to guide best practices and desirable outcomes for students, teachers, and staff to benefit from fractal design. PBK was an early adopter of biophilic design principles in education spaces to provide a sense of place and connection to the wonders of nature. With calming visuals and colors aimed at school spirit (colors can also be easily customized for just a 50-yard minimum), Fractal Findings brings the tranquility of nature indoors, supporting a healthier, more focused learning atmosphere. Let's create sustainable places where students can thrive with a sense of place and belonging. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ekddKhvB #WellnessInEducation #BiophilicDesign #ScienceDesignLab #ScienceBasedDesign #FractalPatterns #FractalsResearch #FractalFindings #K12Spaces @13and9design @pbkarchitects

Whole Child, Every Child is a comprehensive framework we introduced in 2020, developed through research to enhance buildings, spaces and experiences for kids. Created in partnership with healthcare providers, educators, family members, kids and designers, this framework can apply to any space, from healthcare to parks to schools. When we say we design for the "Whole Child, Every Child," this is what we mean:
