The American Institute of Architects, Committee on Architecture for Education (AIA-CAE) Research Committee and Learning By Design magazine have collaborated in the publication of DIALOGUES, the Intersection of Emerging Research + Design for Learning.
From 2017 to 2021 five (5) DIALOGUES journals were published, each distilled learning space design research written for the practice-based practitioner, school and university build environment champions. DIALOGUES brings forward knowledge from a diverse group of 32 world renown researchers. With these touchstones of understanding we have begun to translate the deeper intersections between environment & learning to nourish and expand conversations around the planning, building, and evaluation of school in the future.
We are pleased to present all five DIALOGUES journals in a single compendium covering five grand challenges, each with its own complexities and nuances based on the specific angle of research.
- The Intersection of Emerging Research + Design for Learning
- How Learners Make Meaning of Space through Inhabitation
- A Case for Data-Driven Evidence to Elicit Powerful Insight Into the Next Generation of School Designs
- A look to Regenerating Education: Empowering learners to think with all their senses—to play a role—and to act
- Play! Its new role in learning and human development.

Learning environment design and research blends two rich knowledge traditions together; empirical pursuits and lived experiences. Peter Barrett, PhD, editorial guest for this compendium, reminds us of this rich interplay as a model for real-world engagement. New knowledge born out of everyday settings in which teachers and students interact daily, allows us to bridge different forms of disciplines with cultures and traditions. With humility, Peter cautions us; we still have a lot to learn. Research initiatives should serve a higher purpose to advance our understanding of why, what, and how to optimize learning environments for more effective teaching and learning strategies. We encourage use of the compendium as a resource for wonder, further inquiry, and design inspiration.
