Summary: In advocating for a new model of education, Warner believes that traditional classroom spaces and structures are now proving to be obsolete for the 21st century learner. Critical to the development of this new educational model will be the encouragement and development of creativity. In this article, Warner explains the role of physical space in that development, providing detailed examples that illustrate those arguments. Including the effects of lighting, decoration, furniture, and so on, Warner essentially outlines the elements of a creative and engaging classroom design.
