Mediology

(after Régis Debray) cross-disciplinary method of investigating the cultural transmission of religions, ideologies, the arts and political ideas in society, and across societies, over a time period that is usually to be measured in decades or millennia.

Debray argues that mediology... "would like to bring to light the function of medium in all its forms, over a long time span - since the birth of writing. And without becoming obsessed by today's media"

Patterns and Pattern Language in education and learning

On the basis of in Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language we interpret the settings for learning environments as patterns. In patterns, elements of our surroundings are captured. The identified patterns are more than the sum of its parts. It is a definite and observable arrangement of elements. At the same time it is permeable and open. Patterns join conjunctions with other patterns in certain associations depending on their level of complexity and abstractionEducation design builds on Alexander’s methodological opus (“A Pattern Language", 1976), and uses it as a toolkit for the conception of clear-cut, and however flexible, learning environments.

multi-purpose learning environments

Hence, adjustable, agile, corrigible installations, and furniture such as folding chairs, collapsible tables, and portable technology (mobile devices and computers) define distinct, but temporary zones of action and enable diversifiable settings for learning, e.g. round-table, informal lounge, group-work, workshop situations, studio work and idle space. Due to this flexibility paradigm, additional undefined space – flex space – temporarily forms between the predefined patterns/zones. These quasi-gaps, again, add to the spatiotemporal potential of the room; they even further the encouraging virtual and physical environment that offers opportunities for Bildung* in datatecture and architecture instead of hindering it.
