The document discusses challenges with the design of Worstcase School and proposes ideas for improving school building design. Worstcase School's buildings range from old converted mansions to newer additions and suffer from small classrooms and narrow corridors. The document suggests school designs that remove walls, include more flexible learning spaces, and focus on bringing classrooms and learning to life through color, displays, and interactive spaces similar to shopping malls. It emphasizes linking building design to curriculum and focusing on questions rather than answers to transform schools.
