The title of this article “Innovation Campus: Building better ideas” is the main idea of this article. She’s saying that the architecture of one’s building helps individuals create better.

The author uses ethos to persuade her audience. Alexandra Lange is an architecture critic for Curbed. Her work has been in The Architect’s Newspaper, Design Observer, Metropolis, New York Magazine, and The New York Times. Architects/Designers and Universities may really consider her opinion of the new design for their campuses. Source: http://www.alexandralange.net/

“In many of the new buildings, an industrial look prevails, along with an end to privacy.” Privacy is being free from being observed or disturbed by other people. I personally would hate not to have my own space where I can sit and concentrate.

“Though studies have shown that proximity and conversation can produce creative ideas, there’s little research on the designs needed to facilitate the process.” I agree with this part of the article. I believe having a face-to-face conversation is more effective. Having a one- on- one with someone encourages social interaction.

“There’s also much more to do with your hands than take notes in class:” This quote appeals to the hands-on learner. What if you’re not a hands-on type of learner? What if you prefer visual learning instead?

“Instead, there will be options so that people can choose how they like to work, from open-plan spaces by the windows, to a roof deck with a garden, to huddle rooms for groups of five or less.” This idea supports the thesis in the article, “Recognizing Campus Landscapes as Learning Spaces” by Scholl and Gulwadi.

“The experience will cost. A double goes for $6,830 for the academic year, a three person loft for $9,135.” The article states it so casually like that’s not a lot of money. That is insane! They really go too much in detail on how much tuition cost. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be extremely expensive. I feel like this colleges that will be built appeals to rich Ivy League kids.

“One thing about the building is it has no formal classrooms, and no faculty or staff offices,” If there are no offices, where would faculty and staff go when they have to put in grades or possibly need to talk to student privately?

“It is important to have a critical mass of women involved”… he said.’ I believe that men and women should be equal in all majors of higher education. There shouldn’t be a division between the sexes.
