Description
Arthur Erickson on Learning Systems by Arthur Erickson This collection of writings by architect Arthur Erickson explores the intersections between people, cultures, and ideas in education. Erickson's approach to designing learning spaces emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches and the importance of adaptability. In his writings, Erickson reflects on his design for the Simon Fraser University campus, where he aimed to create a "biological system" that would facilitate communication and collaboration among students and faculty. He also considers how his original vision was maintained or transformed over time, as the university expanded and academic disciplines became more specialized. An introduction by Melanie O'Brian provides context and insight into Erickson's big-picture thinking, drawing parallels between curatorial practices and his approach to learning spaces. This title is part of the "Building Arguments" series published by Concordia University Press.
