Stu, Stu, Studio

The Humanities presentation in The Studio on Thursday were interesting. Funny enough, a space that was designed to be so conducive to small group dynamics is not the best "lecture hall". Not only does the narrow nature of the room force the audience to distance themselves from the speaker in almost exponential leaps. but the room set up almost prohibits anyone leaving early or leaving the room without disturbing a bunch of people. It really brought home for me designing a space to be great for small group collaboration sacrifices the ability to reach masses when needed.

This has a huge impact on the kind of classrooms communities can afford to produce. I am sure that will work into my research somewhere.
