Inspired by the practices of Reggio Emilia and also the work of architect Anita Rui Olds, the presentation "Transforming Learning Environments" focuses on transforming learning environments into spaces that are "designed for miracles, not minimums" (Anita Rui Olds, 2001). In the effort to improve upon the quality of learning programs, we examine the research behind the design, organization, and materials choices for an optimal learning environment. Viewing the environment as the "third teacher," the schools of Reggio Emilia pay significant attention to every detail in the environment while putting to use current research on environmental design.
