Summary
A transdisciplinary approach integrating architecture, pedagogy, and neurocience reveals that spatial design significantly influences learning processes. The study identifies two key dimensions: the building's morphological characteristics across scales (classrooms, common areas, envelope, urban connections) and its content (furniture, objects, technologies). These dimensions actively shape the learning experience of students in architecture schools. By analyzing the Bauhaus Dessau and ENSA Nantes—pioneering examples where space is designed to facilitate active learning—the research demonstrates how intentional spatial design can enhance pedagogical outcomes, with ENSA Nantes extending this learning beyond the university environment.
