02_TAXONOMY

prompt

the design of the toys will be followed by a taxonomical study of existing pedagogical typologies. Yes, it should probably be the other way around - but I think that this will be more interesting (plus Cyrus said to start the semester with an iterative exercise and he’s the one that grades soooo)

step 01_critical taxonomy

of existing learning space typologies + methodologies_both direct (schools that are called schools) and indirect (parks, museums) in consideration of the writings by #illich and #deleuze+guattari

︎ how do these typologies interact with the surrounding community?

︎ what are the architectures of control and thought standardization?

step 02_deschoolization

test new understandings of the taxonomic parts through rearrangement, combination, sorting, and cataloguing.
