Architektur aus Sicht der Bildungstheorie. Anforderungen an Bildungsräume

The article provides an education-theoretical reflection of spaces for teaching and learning in education centres. Adult education is defined as a »learning process concerning everyday life«, which requires particular architectural adjustments. In this context, Joachim Ludwig stresses that architecture is by far more than a simple arrangement of building material. Room structures rather contain a »significance« which has a great influence on the »standard of living« for learners as well as teachers. In this perspective, the learning supportive character of classrooms and educational spaces is guaranteed by designing them as experimental areas for self-understanding as well as world understanding.
