Stockholm's School Without Classrooms - 0 views

Therefore, in Vittra's custom-built Stockholm location, spaces are only loosely defined by permeable borders and large, abstract landmarks. As the architects explained, "instead of classical divisions with chairs and tables, a giant iceberg for example serves as cinema, platform, and room for relaxation, and sets the frame for many different types of learning," while "flexible laboratories make it possible to work hands-on with themes and projects."
