TEA talks | Design for Education 18th October 2024 | Nuffield Theatre, Lancaster University

This TEA talks event will discuss the impact of design on education, specifically focusing on how design can shape the spaces and tools for learning. The talks will present a series of case studies and research developed from across Europe, North America, South America and Asia. This event provide the tools to develop innovative approaches to design for education, and illustrate the conversation and action required to foster socially responsible design for education.

Alongside this event we will present the book Design for Education, Spaces and Tools for Learning, edited by Ana Rute Costa and Rachel Cooper. As the contributions of this book show, we must look at education as an input and output of a complex system, and we need to adopt an interdisciplinary multiple stakeholder approach, bringing together experts from a range of different fields and backgrounds as a cohesive strategy to improve future learning and teaching environments. Providing guidance and a theoretical framework for designing spaces and tools for learning.

This TEA talks on Design for Education will be a great inspiration for teachers, students as well as practitioners, educational researchers, architects, policymakers, and behaviour and built environment researchers.
