Up Next DESIGN LESSONS At every stage of our lives and our careers, we are continuing to learn new things. At the same time, design itself continues to evolve-like new methods and materials to achieve wellness and sustainability in a project and design decisions that can make learning more enjoyable and accessible to students of all ages and ability levels. As the possibilities continually expand for those already working in the field, design education continually adapts to ensure today's students are tomorrow's best-informed design professionals. The September/October issue of i+D will dig into the many connections between design and education-from designing better classrooms to creating compelling design curriculum and more. The preschool at the Environmental Nature Center (ENC) will be the second LEED Platinum Net Zero building on the campus. The 8,000-squarefoot, three-classroom building in Newport Beach, California, features separate support and classroom spaces that are connected by a covered breezeway, designed to promote natural ventilation and make the most of the coastal climate. Petal certification from the Living Building Challenge is also being pursued for the project. (Image: Costea Photography/LPA Design Studios) 58
