Following on from the 2021 UTS AfterSchool architectural masters studio, in 2023 Hayball Principal Fiona Young, Associate Rob Chan & Hiral Patel (from Cardiff University) co-led Unschooling: Taking School Out of the Box, which explored challenges facing school development in NSW (and beyond). The complexity of challenges includes population growth, rapid urbanisation, and the urgent need for school facilities – and how to deliver new and refurbished schools equitably, sustainably, and pedagogically appropriate for the future. In addressing these issues, solutions needed to demonstrate “value for money”. A wicked problem indeed!
