“All studies grow out of relation in the one great common world.”1
In School and Society, John Dewey states that when the child participates in a varied but concrete but active relationship to the common world, their studies are naturally unified and will no longer be a problem to correlate studies. This project proposes the utilization of participation, both physically and intellectually, into the design of the laboratory school of Columbia University in the City of New York. The physical model of the project is both a representation of architectural ideas and a planning apparatus of spatial organization for the users that occupy it.
