The study focuses on the human-environmental interface, examining how physical spaces impact and enhance transformative and adult learning processes. By analysing the shortcomings and opportunities of conventional learning environments, the research aims to understand the role of spatial design in fostering creativity, collaboration and critical thinking among architecture students. Key findings highlight the necessity of adaptable, student-centred spaces that align with contemporary pedagogical approaches, advocating for more dynamic and inclusive educational spaces. This research contributes to the discourse on architectural education by providing insights into how reimagined learning environments can better support the educational needs and aspirations of future architects.en© 2023 University of Pretoria.
