Ultralab was
commissioned for this research throughout 2003 from within the "Building
Futures" programme which is a CABE /
RIBA initiative. The task was to explore the devlopment of future pedagogies
and thus to be able to offer some guidance, or at least debate, about
what learning environments in the future might be like. The intention
was to inform and provoke debate within both architecture and education
about the design of school buildings and other learning spaces.
The
report is now complete and can be read, or downloaded for printing
as a pdf, from this page. CABE have also produced a booklet based on
the report, which can be found here
The
work that Ultralab has undertaken here has been applied to another project, designmyschool.net, This project is in partnership with the Design Council and seeks to find out just how children can become invoved with design decisions affecting their school and learning environments.

Ultralab
is now doing considerable work in the area of designing learning spaces:
schools, universities, companies & organisations, virtual spaces...
