Welcome to Episode 36 – Architecture is Destiny! Chelsea starts by doing what she always does, taking us in the way back machine to the Greek and Roman days of education. Katie shares the history of one-room schoolhouses in the United States and the work of Horace Mann. From there, the hosts break down the good and the bad of school design over the years, comparing examples of the schools that they attended growing up. Chelsea shares her distaste for current school designs and Katie builds a dream classroom.
