"Overall, the book is successful in challenging existing use of learning space, and proposing new and innovative models for the future. Once you have read it, you are likely to re-evaluate your lab, classroom, studio –and the library –and the cafe –and the picnic bench -and even your own workspace, asking yourself how these potentially constraining environments be used to promote innovative practice in HE." – Katharyne McFarlane, Innovative Practice in Higher Education
