Day 100 of the 100 Day Studio: Doreen Gehry Nelson began developing her Design-Based Learning methodology in the late 1960s, originally working in collaboration with her brother, the architect Frank Gehry. The 1972 documentary ‘Kid City’ captures their early attempts to transform the teaching culture of a fifth-grade class of students in a deprived area of Los Angeles, by focussing every aspect of the curriculum around the task of designing and managing a fictitious city. Fifty years later, Nelson continues to develop and promote her Design-Based Learning methodology through the newly established Center for City Building Education. The session will include a contribution from Neil Pinder who has pioneered the teaching of architecture in schools in the UK.
