How do we connect ?


tools to connect activity & environment

1. Case studies of materials properties & qualities

Properties of writable walls

Vertical, stable, flat, shared and visible from a distance.

How we think about how we learn has changed,

changed space ≠ changed practice

changed set, epistemic & social design = changed practice

we are not powerless

materials matter.
