Berliner Architects, in partnership with AHBE | MIG’s Darren Shirai and Present Practice’s Ashley Johnson, recently presented at A4LE’s LearningScapes 2019 in Anaheim, CA.
The presentation, Space vs. Place, explored the differences between the physical spaces of a school and the emotional places and their effects on students. Place standards, focused more on students’ wellness and comfort, which can improve attendance, graduation rates, and test scores.
Berliner used Poll Everywhere to interact with the attendee’s and ask questions throughout the presentation to get people thinking about building places within their schools. We were fascinated with my of the responses on memories of people’s schools as well as ideas for place-making.
