Seth! Thanks for the shout, brother. And also thanks for the thoughts on the schism in the Catholic Church back then. Might have been horrifying for folks back then, makes me wonder how folks feel about the church now...not schisms, but lots of fragments.

Oh to have resources, https://samchaltain.substack.com/p/at-a-turkish-high-school-space-is.

(but at least, unlike many others who do, they are doing it intentionally and playing with space and design in a neat way)

- it would be really interesting to visit; from the descriptions and visuals, I can get some sense (it looks like a cool coworking space)

- I feel like Streetlight Schools was doing the same just on an insanely tight budget ;) )

It would be cool if the narrative manifesto for design were published (I did a quick google search and didn't find it)...

It’s that studio’s articulation of incorporating naturalistic elements into the design of the built learning environment.

Awesome, thanks, just requested a digital copy of the book. Also, the Substack writer (sam Chaltain, letters from the future (of learning) is writing a similar set of posts about ecology x education possibly leveraging that resource and/or his own thinking.

We had gotten Streetlight Schools' first campus green certified, honestly mostly because we had to recycle / squeeze as much lemonade out of lemons resource wise that we could: https://www.solidgreen.co.za/streetlight-schools-leading-the-way-in-green-education/
