Agenda for 20 October 2016


1. Architectural walk of the school

                Write down observations to prepare for essay
Think about the following questions:
                What is the function of the space?
                How do the details of the space contribute to its function?
                What does the function of the space tell you about the values of a culture/society?
                What do the details of the space tell you about the values of a culture/society?
                How does the function of space change over time? Why does it change? How can it change?
