前沿教育模式探索更具互动性、协作性、求知欲、以学生为中心的教学环境。因此，当代学校建筑的目标是模糊课堂上的正式教学与其中间地带小会议室的非正式学习之间的界限。通过巧妙的空间设计，非正式的学习空间可以容纳非正式教学，反之亦然。这种新的教育方式要求整个学校成为一个教学相长的环境。

Cutting edge education models explore a more interactive, collaborative, inquisitive, student-centred, teaching-learning environment. Consequently, the goal of the contemporary school building is to blur the line between formal teaching in classrooms and the informal learning of the in-between spaces. With smart spatial design, informal teaching can inhabit the informal learning spaces, and vice versa. This new approach to education requires the entire school to become a teaching-learning environment.
