Inward : Outward School Pattern, Urban Design, + the City Professor Penn Roderman Northeastern University Fall 2006
A school should enforce two types relationships: 1. An inward relationship between the students and the teachers, where
sharing, and intellectual conversations are driven by the architecture. 2) An outward experience,
inviting the students to reach beyond the classroom and out into its community.
The inward:outward school provides both of these things. Each classroom is paired with an adjacent greenspace which allows each
classroom to extend their learning space beyond the confines of its four walls. The inward:outward table is an enormously large
classroom table, which function as a conference table, where the teacher and students take turns in scholastic arguments.
The table extends into the outside where it becomes a stage.
