Alignment with Thornburg’s Primordial Metaphors
Alignment with Thornburg’s Primordial Metaphors
Pedagogical Spaces easily align to the Primordial Metaphors for Learning that Thornburg describes in his work. The way we assign spaces within learning precincts helps to define the intention and purpose of the learning activities. The purpose and intention of the learning activities dictates the type of display options required.

This mapping allows schools to allocate the appropriate display options for each space.

Flexible displays options for multiple pedagogical modes within the one learning space will demand a flexible solution to display option needs.

Thornberg’s Primordial Metaphors for Learning
Thornberg’s Primordial Metaphors for Learning
They are a shared language between educators and architects that allow for meaningful conversations about designing learning spaces. These spaces allow us to purposefully design learning activities that incorporate the metacognitive patterns identified from across the millennium. These primordial spaces are not always a physical space sometimes they are about adopting a philosophy or providing students with the tools to create their own spaces. Furniture can often have the biggest impact on the creation of different primordial spaces within a learning space.
