A learning environment in Hampstead Heath, with one fixed library, that consists of one book documenting a one year program of multidisciplinary activities. "Internet surfing, discussion and storage" take place in the library, as a node. "Learning" takes place in 2 types of transportable structures that wander the site. Converting data captured in the library, into actions through the transportable structures.
This project is trying to unite the benefits of both learning virtually and the desire for human interaction. Accelerated Data grazing is a response to the current broken model of education deriving gaps, where students are unable to learn fundamental segments of the syllabus due to the structure of the national curriculum of a school, hence, creating a chain reaction resulting in a failure to learn the "subject" as a whole. Due to this reason, virtual schools such as Khan Academy [based on YouTube videos] evolves to fill these gaps. Virtual learning through the internet e.g. YouTube tutorials has the benefits of filling in the gaps and the urge of learning is caused by the individuals' interests, where as schools are based on a production system restricted by categorisation of subjects, batches by age groups, limited locations and a strict timetable. However, physical schools has an essential benefit of learning through doing, which involves experimentations with our senses, and learning through an unpredictable failure. Further more, as a fundamental aspect of learning physically is the nuance of interaction in the presence of an other human e.g. body gestures, eye contacts and facial expressions.
