Learning-Driven Schools
Many teachers are trained to approach their work with a set of teaching strategies and lessons that changes little over time.

For Safdie, the way a space functions is fundamental; he is deeply committed to architecture as a social force for good, believing that any challenge, including extreme population density and environmental distress, can be addressed with solutions that enhance community and uplift the human spirit.
