For this week’s assignment, we were tasked with redesigning an existing room of the creative academy to incorporate elements of nature. I found that this project came somewhat quickly to me, because I already had a foundation for what I would want to do. A significant factor that spurred my move from Florida to Washington this past June was the allure of the evergreens, and the visible snowcapped mountains from almost any location, and the constant rain and cold. Seeing those things made me think “why not bring them to the class itself?”. So on that note, my design would incorporate elements of evergreens, replica mountains, the temperature would be constantly set to 40 degrees(and below) and the sprinkler system would remain on, indefinitely. Jokes aside, I find that surrounding oneself with nature is very calming and comfortable. Making that part of the learning environment could help students who regularly face anxiety, thus making their education more beneficial to them. The typical and constant surroundings of drab, white, artificial feeling walls can be tiresome, so a bit of nature could serve well to assuage that.
