As one of the audience members pointed out during the session, these 10 principles are not in order of priority level or hierarchy. In terms of university spaces, no. 1 should be \u2018a pedagogical focus\u2019. Thus to achieve this, spaces need to be designed with a purpose or for a purpose and could also be designed in consultation with academic staff or student body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-761\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2018\/12\/595F3267-C314-4196-85F0-419289E7EEED.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"807\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2018\/12\/595F3267-C314-4196-85F0-419289E7EEED.png 807w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2018\/12\/595F3267-C314-4196-85F0-419289E7EEED-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2018\/12\/595F3267-C314-4196-85F0-419289E7EEED-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2018\/12\/595F3267-C314-4196-85F0-419289E7EEED-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/litebox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2018\/12\/595F3267-C314-4196-85F0-419289E7EEED-287x215.png 287w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That leads us to questioning the very fundamentals of designing a new building space or learning space. Is there enough consultation with the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">actual users <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">of this space rather than consultation with architects and interior designers, etc? Is the space being linked to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">demand<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">? Is it serving a purpose?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, this workshop indeed challenged and stimulated the attendees to think about how to better design learning spaces, how to build them, what factors need to be considered - both internal and external and also to understand that simply building a space is not enough, thinking about the sustainability and maintenance of it requires some thought process as well. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rob Hyde, the Audio Visual Manager at Computing Services and LITEbox Initiative Lead Member, is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of \u00a0Bath.
