1. Pedagogy must come first2. Architecture can be a facilitator3. If the architecture is not grounded in the pedagogy it is window dressing4. Teachers must be committed to the espoused pedagogy5. Memorable spaces are not necessarily great for teaching and learning6. Teaching can be enhanced by informed architecture

DO  BUILDINGS  LOCK   IN  A  PEDAGOGY  FOR  THE  BUILDING’S  LIFETIME?

1. Don’t assume anything2. Articulate the pedagogy3. The pedagogy is the design foundation4. Develop a shared language

WHAT  DOES   IT  TAKE  TO  DELIVER  EDUCATION  SPACES  THAT  FACILITATE  AND  ENHANCE  PEDAGOGY?

1. ESL for architects – Education as a Second Language2. Educators as mother‐tongue speakers3. And vice versa4. A new language

Ideally and as we work together with this new language there will be a single focus ‐ student engagement and understanding.
