Twenty-first century buildings support a 21st century education - because it is difficult to learn or to teach if you are shivering.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The future of architecture is culture.
The young people today are the 21st century.
I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it's what children bring into school with them.
Education is the investment our generation makes in the future.
Learning is what most adults will do for a living in the 21st century.
Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.
Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.
As we develop and get quicker with technology in America, it's like we're downgrading if you look at the investment in education... that's the thing that worries me.
In America, we have 19th century school conditions and a curriculum that prepares our kids for the 1990s.
Today in America, we are trying to prepare students for a high tech world of constant change, but we are doing so by putting them through a school system designed in the early 20th Century that has not seen substantial change in 30 years.
