Abstract
Awareness of classroom as space is promoted. Design features of classrooms and classroom layout are examined from an empirical and philosophic base. Various ways of exploring classroom space are presented. A workshop process, a psychological mapping technique, and experiments derived from metaphors are discussed. Participants include two groups; 5 teachers and 5 student-teachers. The generation of an experimental mind-set and sense of possibility are recounted. Implications for those involved in teaching stress utility and pleasure of the process as a teaching strategy.
