#educational environments

Finland is well known for its impressive educational system.  One that does not teach to standardized testing, but repeatedly ranks among the very highest globally on the PISA test, an international standardized test. 

Last year, educational professionals and architects collaborated to study seven examples of Finnish schools and how the architectural environment itself lends to a successful learning space.  

The exhibition which took place in New York is long gone, but there remains a book, available digitally, which marks the lessons learned from that exploration.
