Learning Environments with Arne Lijbers at Raumwelten

Arne Lijbers, Associate Architect at Mecanoo, will be one of the speakers at Raumwelten in Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, on the 24^th of November. Arne will be joined in the panel “Learning Environments: New Learning Worlds” by two other speakers, Birgit Gebhardt from Trendexpertin and Jörg Schmidtsiefen, Managing Partner at Archimedes Exhibitions GmbH. The debate will be curated by Dr. Petra Kiedaisch.

In this lecture, Arne will present the Library of Birmingham in the United Kingdom and the recent design for the Mid-Manhattan Library in New York as projects that incorporate the vision of Learning Environments.

Especially in this confusing age of digitalisation, interactivity and individualisation, these spaces are given a meaning – as working, learning and leisure environments – far beyond their function: emotion and narration, game and experience come to the fore, while in the background new principles of order and design, based on algorithms and artificial intelligence, are being established…
