| Description | The school reform proposes that the school's actors rethink space so that the boundaries between conventional lessons and breaks, schedules and leisure dissolve inside and outside the school building. But how can we really understand the "spatial" meaning of learning. Timon Beyes presents an understanding of spatiality as socio-material processes involving both narratives, daily routines, bodily practices, affect and physical boundaries and objects. The article questions simple assumptions that an open school creates more creativity, or that boundaryless rooms can be designed. Instead, suggests Timon Beyes, we need to study more closely how everyday production of the school rooms both allows and limits creativity and imagination. |
