It all feels very hard and cold to me. The lights make no sense. Add some weight lifting equipment in the courtyard, put some bars on the windows, and turn it into a local jail.

Bright frantic colours hard edges and impersonal spaces-no wonder kids hate going to school. why is it that schools always look so much like institutional prisons, at least in a kindergarten I would hope for something a little more gentle both in shape and color, don’t get me wrong i think colour is geat but I do wonder if these designers really consider what the building is used for?… those stairs look scary

The single photo of a classroom tells me they didn't spend much time thinking about the actual learning environment. With classrooms like that the rest seems pointless anyway... This happens far too often in educational design. All jail allusions aside (that ground has been well covered above), why was so much design attention paid to the circulation spaces?

I wonder how architecture impacts developing minds. Does rhythm, pattern, symmetrical balance, harmony, etc with or without small interjections of contrasting disrhythm, imbalance, ect aid in visio-spatial, mathematical, or linguistic development? Is this structure (as well as similar trends) the architectural equivalent to atonal music? Does it help or hinder?
