ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN OF LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
This lifelong learning course (hereinafter referred to as "LLL") was developed under the RePowerEU initiative of the National Recovery Plan, Component 7.4 "Adaptation of Educational Programmes – Support for Green Skills and Sustainability in Higher Education", which aims to support the ecological transition and sustainability at public higher education institutions. The course addresses sustainability in educational and working environments – spaces where we concentrate and are expected to perform. Within the course, sustainability is understood not only in an ecological sense, but also within a psycho-social context. The central question of the course is: How can design and architecture help us achieve better results and fulfilment at school and in the workplace?
Participants of the LLL course will be introduced to current approaches to study and work environments, as well as methods to stimulate those who use them. Lecturers will guide participants through recent domestic and international examples of best practice that illustrate current trends and strategies in this field of design. The course will systematically cover various chapters of this interdisciplinary field, drawing from aesthetics, psychology, and neuroscience, along with their practical application in design and architecture. Emphasis is placed on fostering motivation for lifelong development (a concept particularly highlighted in Scandinavian countries) and restoring the relationship of students and workers to spaces of concentration in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
