The pandemic, however, forced a shift in pedagogy. While remote learning was embraced by some schools prior to the pandemic, widespread Zoom teaching highlighted that the in-person interaction many students need to thrive was lacking. One solution: outdoor classrooms.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-cpvvj\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Los Angeles-based Berliner Architects applies its expertise for a practical and playful approach to the future of education by providing flexible spaces for outdoor learning while incorporating local ecology. Established in 1996 by Richard Berliner, AIA, ALEP, LEED AP, the firm prides itself on thoughtful, cost\u2010effective, and sustainable design solutions created in collaboration with its K-12 and higher-education clients.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-clarb\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">\u201cOutdoor learning is not necessarily a new concept,\u201d notes Berliner. \u201cSimilar to how outdoor classrooms were popular during the tuberculosis plague of the early 20th century, COVID amplified their urgency today.\u201d Furthermore, science supports the model, with studies linking outdoor learning to improved attention span and retention, reduced stress, and increased engagement and well-being among students.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-9ni6d\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">\u201cThe outdoor learning environments we design reinforce and help enable project-based teaching in flexible, less-structured spaces,\u201d Berliner adds. \u201cDifferent people have different styles of learning, and we design for that fact. Accordingly, schools need a broader spectrum of spaces designed for learning today and tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><h3 id=\"viewer-esoak\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Irvine Valley College Campus Becomes a Living Lab (under construction)<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-a1miq\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The South Orange County Community College District engaged Berliner Architects to design two outdoor learning spaces to serve Irvine Valley College (IVC) in Irvine, CA. These experimental spaces will become a template for future outdoor learning areas on the campus. The project is set to break ground Summer 2022.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-dse29\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The Berliner team worked closely with university staff to develop project goals and opportunities to address lighting, acoustics, security, and student capacity. The mission for the project was to promote a deeper understanding of sustainability by utilizing the campus as a living lab that creates interdisciplinary connections among campus operations, the academic experience of students, and the broader community. IVC also sought to honor and acknowledge the ancestral homelands of indigenous people, including the design of a central placard recognizing local tribes.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-349qd\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The team studied the regional context, historical imagery, adjacencies, circulation, existing outdoor spaces, and natural lighting of both the 15,000-square-foot site and the greater IVC campus. Berliner also conducted extensive shade and wind studies to assess the orientation of the classrooms and how to best take advantage of natural light and ventilation. Based on the research and meetings with university staff, the firm developed a layout that features a central walkway dividing two classrooms to support different styles of learning: Auditorium Classroom seating 64 people for lecture-style classes and Grove Classroom for 36 with a large table for demonstrations.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><h3 id=\"viewer-4id93\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">\u2018Learning Everywhere\u2019 Uses the City as Classroom (concept)<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-2hq84\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Berliner Architects\u2019 vision for the classroom of the future, \u201cLearning Everywhere,\u201d promotes safer, post-COVID learning by embracing the cultural riches of a city or town\u2014simultaneously reviving so many places unvisited during shutdowns. Berliner imagines the future of education as mobile, happening everywhere students might be during any given day\u2014at home, in a museum, at a park, etc.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-2pd8m\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">\u201cTo envision what the not\u2010so\u2010distant future of education could be, we looked to the past and were inspired by the PBS cartoon \u2018The Magic School Bus,\u2019 which has engaged kids for years,\u201d says Berliner. The Learning Everywhere concept casts a solar\u2010powered electric bus as a remote classroom. When parked, it transforms into a fresh\u2010air learning environment.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-ftl2q\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The Magic Classroom Buses would congregate around a Central School Park with green spaces that create smaller communities of students, offering a more interactive learning environment and lowering indoor classroom density. The Learning Everywhere concept was named winner of the 2021 Classroom of the Future Competition that solicited big\u2010picture solutions for safer post\u2010pandemic education, awarded by the AIA Committee for Architecture in Education and the San Francisco Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIASF).<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><h3 id=\"viewer-d8p79\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Middle School\u2019s Design \u2018Tool Kit\u2019 Speeds Renovation (under construction)<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-8389e\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">During an extensive campus assessment with Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, Berliner Architects brainstormed ways that John Adams Middle School (JAMS) could modify existing outdoor spaces into outdoor learning environments. Taking into consideration Division of the State Architect (DSA) approval, timeline, and budget, Berliner devised multiple ways to transform these spaces. Collectively these ideas created a \u201ctool kit\u201d of quick-implementation strategies to help students reintegrate following the pandemic. Currently under construction, the Santa Monica-based project will open for the Fall 2022 school year.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-7i2uc\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Berliner is renovating the existing linear courtyards at JAMS into outdoor learning environments that support project-based learning and will be used for performances, lectures, and student work display. The spaces complement the existing courtyards and support the surrounding classrooms, which later will be improved with glass garage doors that open into the courtyards. New trees and plants are strategically located throughout the site to increase shade.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><h3 id=\"viewer-6pq7o\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Neurodiversity Informs Variety of Learning Experiences (design development)<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-6p2n8\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Initially asked to design a new 25,000-square-foot, three-story student center library building to support project-based learning for Mayfield Junior School (MJS) in Pasadena, CA, Berliner Architects realized that a more holistic approach was needed. The firm\u2019s revised design includes reducing the size of the library building in favor of increasing outdoor learning options. In order to promote the concept of neurodiversity within the K-8 student body, Berliner sought a range of space types and interactions with nature, including a bubbling water feature, rocky outcroppings, and several opportunities to open classrooms to the outdoors via folding doors.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-44ere\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The new library is designed with second-floor overhangs that create outdoor shaded rooms. This allows for the playground to be enlarged and shaded while adding classroom space on campus. The play equipment emerges from the landscape and integrates itself with the cross-laminated timber (CLT) columns that spring from turf-covered mounds. Part of the greater master plan for the school, the library is slated to begin construction Summer of 2023.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><h3 id=\"viewer-6udf8\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Flexible Classrooms Bolster \u2018Living and Learning\u2019 (design development)<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-c2ie1\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The Chadwick School in Palos Verdes, CA, relied on Berliner Architects to enhance outdoor spaces to further the K-12 school\u2019s goal of creating \u201cliving and learning\u201d environments across the campus. Having identified four areas on campus that need improvement, Berliner studied the Master Plan to ascertain how these new spaces would fit within the context of the campus design standards. The architects presented three options for each space that would allow for flexibility of use, while also appear as permanent design features of the school.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-egigi\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The Upper Village area took advantage of the existing large Ficus trees, which were the inspiration for creating a series of curved benches that delineate small-to-medium-sized spaces. Larger picnic tables form pods where entire classrooms can gather outdoors. Another site will have a shade structure for a dedicated, assignable classroom with whiteboards. Flexibility to accommodate events and shows is attained in other areas by using large, moveable picnic tables with integrated shade umbrellas. The project is currently in design development.<\/span><\/p><\/div><h3 data-hook=\"rcv-block45\">Award-Winning Concept Empowers Students &amp; Teachers (concept)<\/h3><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-9064j\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Berliner Architects, as part of a core planning team of educators and consultants, developed a proposal to create a provocative learning environment for Vista High School, which was awarded a $10-million challenge grant from Laurene Powell Jobs\u2019 XQ: The Super School Project. Launched in 2015, XQ was an open call to rethink and redesign the American high school and conceptualize innovative models for 21st-century learning. Berliner\u2019s proposal was one of just five throughout the United States chosen by XQ out of more than 1,000 applicants. \u201cThe award is another step toward reinventing schools that reflect the culture, technologies, and pedagogies that empower students and teachers,\u201d says Berliner.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-a5kuc\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">The architectural scheme is interspersed with common areas that serve as hubs for spontaneous learning activities, including outdoor circulation and amphitheater, student gathering areas, and caf\u00e9-like study areas. The building design features glass fa\u00e7ades that can be opened to connect with these dedicated outdoor spaces.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><h3 id=\"viewer-d6apg\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">About Berliner Architects<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div data-breakout=\"normal\"><p id=\"viewer-2cchn\" class=\"H0BMW qw9d2 _5TXqj t077n _39sR0\"><span class=\"GkipB\">Established in 1996 in Los Angeles by Richard Berliner, AIA, LEED AP, Berliner Architects believes that every space counts\u2014thoughtfully designed spaces positively impact their occupants\u2019 qualities of life, improving the way people live, work, learn, and play.
