“Object lessons Powerful, expressive, insane, incoherent, brilliant – such a feeling words push them through you when you are in and around the building strides. Because you will not run on anything all demands of your admiration. Sometimes you think it’s still in scaffolding state, then again in the splintering Deconstructivism threatens to erupt.”
– Hans de Groot, Het Houtblad

MSD in Metropolis Education Issue
Posted on September 30th, 2015 by Nicole Sakr

In this month’s special schools issue of METROPOLIS — Samuel Medina explores the innovative pedagogical approach of the Melbourne School of Design.
“Lined with timber, the space acts as a social condenser for all of the school’s 3,000 students, who, buzzing back and forth beneath the wood-and-glass coffered ceiling, unconsciously enact MSD’s pedagogical model […]
At MSD, the horizontal datum of the studio is transposed vertically and arrayed along the thickened corridors ringing the atrium. These are free work zones that carry studio activity upward, carved-out spaces for spontaneous encounters and rapid-fire collaborative sessions. They are kitted out with ‘hot desks’ that jostle their way over the lip of the floor plate and are held in place by a thin, liminal mesh and shiny folded stainless-steel railings that just say ‘zoom’.”
