Classroom
Classroom is an architectural exhibition that focuses on the learning environments of young people. The exhibition takes the classroom as its starting point and explores its influence on the development of adolescents. The pandemic served as a significant source of inspiration for the exhibition, as it emphasized that where and how one learns plays a significant role during the transition from child to adult.
The traditional classroom, where ‘frontal’ teaching has been questioned for decades, is being reevaluated. Recent developments and new insights in the fields of digitalization, ecology, and the changing job market have had a significant impact and impose new demands on the way learning occurs. This transition requires new types of learning spaces and challenges the traditional organization of schools.
Through the use of models of iconic school buildings, videos featuring testimonials from students, school furniture, and floor plans, the exhibition raises two important questions: What kinds of learning environments do we need today? And how can we adapt existing school buildings to meet these new requirements?
