Are You Sitting Comfortably?

An exploration of design at the chalkface. This exhibition looks at some of the effects of environment and design on teaching and learning from the formality of the Victorian classroom to the outdoors self–directed learning of a wood school. In collaboration with Cazenove Architects, specialists in educational design, the Museum has worked with pupils from Gayhurst Primary and Clapton Girls’ Academy, Hackney, to develop furniture design solutions. Architecture students from the University of East London have designed a classroom structure for Paupers Wood School, Manchester. A choir from St Paul’s Way Trust School, Tower Hamlets, have developed a calming acoustic installation with musicians Jason Sigh and Laura Howe

Suitable for
Any age
