گستافلو در رمان مادام بواری در ابتدای اون رمان دانشآموز تازه وارد به کلاسی رو کلاهشو توصیف میکنه توصیف این کلاه تقریباً دو صفحه از اون رمان طول می‌کشه. امروز که حدود ۱۷ سال از نوشتن اون رمان می‌گذره، هنوز طرفدارانش موفق نشدن به نتیجه مشترکی در تجسم اون کلاه برسن. هرچه بیشتر طلاح شده نتایج دورتر شده شاید دلیلش اینه که فلوبر که در ظاهر به شکل اول شخص جمع کلاه رو توصیف کرده توصیف کلاه توصیفی از طرف تمام همکلاسی‌ها یک روایت جمعیه که ترکیبیه از تمام این تکصداها ها و این تکداها هیچ‌وقت در تجسم هیچ‌کس به یه کلاه ت ...

Architectural Design Philosophy - The design aims to create a neighborhood-like environment within the school, blurring the lines between classroom corridors and play areas [1] - The design intentionally avoids a traditional enclosed schoolyard, opting for a space that integrates elements of home, school, and the surrounding environment [1] - The design incorporates "mud play areas" that function like neighborhood squares, encouraging interaction and play [1] - The architect challenges the notion of architecture as providing definitive answers, instead advocating for designs that keep questions and possibilities open [2] - The design promotes a labyrinthine layout, encouraging exploration and discovery, contrasting with the transparent and easily controlled structure of traditional schools [2] Educational Approach - The school emphasizes student independence, confidence, and self-reliance, believing that these qualities contribute to personal growth [1] - The school environment is designed to feel like home, with features like carpeted floors to promote comfort and a sense of belonging [1] - The school acknowledges that forced learning is ineffective, allowing students the freedom to choose their activities and learn at their own pace [2] - The school challenges the traditional model of education, which it argues has historically focused on standardization and separation [2] - The school views play as the primary occupation of children, integrating it into the learning environment [2]

We've developed what I call climate apathy.A recent article in the New York Times titled How Air Conditioning Conquered North America, E ...
