‘School as City Project’ Research question: • What lessons learned from city planning and urban regeneration projects might inform the regeneration of ‘failing schools’? Research provocations/wonderings: • What if schools were open 24/7? • What if schools catered to people of all ages? • What if schools were sites of cultural diversity? • What if schools were hubs of creativity? • What if schools offered opportunities for serendipitous learning? • What if schools were microcosms of the city?
‘The Porous Campus: Community Engagement and the Design of the Contemporary School’
Heppell et al (2004) Scenario 1: ‘No physical school at all’ Scenario 2: ‘Dissolved Secondary School’ Scenario 3: ‘Extended School’ Scenario 4: ‘Fortress School’
Themes • Campus porosity – connectedness of school and community • Boundary dynamics – interactions between bounded groups • Social capital – influence of campus and facility design (level of porosity) on the development/regeneration of social capital in schools and local communities
