Any Pinterest or web search on “mid-century kitchen” is going to yield a plethora of open plan kitchens featuring a central island. But as we learned a couple of weeks ago from friend of the pod (and mid-century houses everywhere), Atom Stevens, a mid-century kitchen is a room with four walls.So where did this “open mid-century kitchen” myth come from?I'm wrapping up our kitchen season with a deep dive into one of my all-time favorite open kitchen plans - it's also very likely THE OG island kitchen - The Stahl House (Case Study House 22), designed by California architect Pierre Koenig.In today's episode you'll hear:Why this open kitchen is actually defined by constraints. Which elements make this dramatic kitchen eminently useable. How to adapt Koenig's creative design moves to work in even the most modest mid-century ranch.

Labour and National appear to be aligned on the Paris Climate Agreement. Yesterday ACT called for New Zealand to leave unless the terms of the deal change, but the Prime Minister said no. Labour's Chris Hipkins echoed Christopher Luxon, telling John MacDonald leaving the deal would cause more harm than good. He says it would be a disaster for us – walking away from those commitments would mean people overseas would stop buying our products. Hipkins says our largest export industries rely on New Zealand's clean, green reputation. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Schools are keen to move on from open-plan classrooms due to the negative impacts on learning. The Government's announced it will give funding to schools for the classrooms to get fixed up. They will be able to get the money from a contestable fund based on need to put walls in the barn-style classrooms. Christchurch's Avonside Girls' High School Principal Catherine Law told Mike Hosking a few things worked in them, but overall, the experiment was a disaster. She says there are some defenders, but the majority of people in education believe they were a mistake. Law says they were implemented at a time when inquiry and student-based learning was a focus. She says it was a perfect storm, but having 70 students in a classroom meant the importance of teacher-student relationships and routine was lost.

Education Minister Erica Stanford has said after years of government flip-flops it will now only build single-cell classrooms.
The Education Minister's stressing schools can still be flexible as the Government pulls the plug on open plan classrooms. It was introduced by John Key's Government in 2011. Erica Stanford announced yesterday all new builds will now have more traditional layouts. She told Kerre Woodham there are good examples in the best modern learning environments. She's also looking into helping fund schools to modify existing open-plan rooms. Stanford told Woodham she's tasking the school property agency to look into ways to help schools revert their teaching spaces. In the meantime, she says, schools have five year property budgets, with a category for classroom modifications they can use. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Education Minister Erica Stanford is my politician of the day for announcing that the Government isn't going to be building any more of those terrible open-plan classrooms. But she'll be my politician of the year if she goes further than that and finds money to put some walls and doors in the modern learning environment monstrosities that already exist. In fact, I think the Government is morally obliged to help any state school that wants to get rid of their open-plan classrooms. It's morally obliged because this disastrous experiment was forced on the schools. And it will cost a truckload of money but it's the only option, in my mind. Unless, of course, there are schools that are perfectly happy teaching kids in barns. They can fill their boots. But I bet there are a truckload of schools looking at this announcement and thinking “what about us?” The way Erica Stanford puts it is that she's had overwhelming feedback that open-plan classrooms aren't meeting the needs of students. She says: “While open-plan designs were originally intended to foster collaboration, they have often created challenges for schools, particularly around noise and managing student behaviour.” Which is a polite way of saying that it was a hair-brained idea that shouldn't have seen the light of day. And to Erica Stanford and the Government's credit, they're not building any more. Which Rangiora High School principal Bruce Kearney says is great, but he wants to know about all the schools that have already been lumbered with open-plan classrooms. Some of which have had a gutsful and have spent a lot of their own money turning the barns into old-school classrooms. Rangiora High School is one of them. They spent $1.5 million. Shirley Boys' High School in Christchurch spent $800,00. And Avonside Girls' spent $60,000 on screens and acoustic panels because a full fit-out was going to be too expensive for the school to pay for on its own. Avonside principal Catherine Law says she is “thrilled” to see the move away from open-plan because it's done nothing for students having a sense of belonging, and it had a really detrimental effect on teaching and learning. She says year 9 and year 10 kids —the old third formers and fourth formers— are the ones who seem to struggle the most, because they're the ones getting used to high school. She says those years especially are the worst times for kids to be expected to try and work in open-plan areas. She says there's a lot of anxiety with the kids not knowing where they sit and where they belong. And she thinks that any school that wants to get rid of the open-plan set-up should get funding to do it. If the experience at Rangiora High is anything to go by, why wouldn't the Government spend some money fixing up this shambles? Since Rangiora put in the walls and doors, attendance is up by 12%. Which principal Bruce Kearney puts down to “happier teachers, happier kids, and a happier school”. And he is in no doubt that the Government needs to stump up with the money so all schools that want to benefit from this brilliant move by Erica Stanford, can. I'm going further than that though. I think the government is morally obliged to do it. Because even though it wasn't this particular government that forced modern learning environments on schools, it was still the government-of-the-day. The current administration is now admitting that the experiment has failed. So there is no way it can say that but still expect kids already being taught in these battery farms to put up with it. And there's no way it can admit it was a cock-up and expect teachers to keep teaching in these places. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Government has announced an end to open plan classrooms. The initial concept began in 2011 under National's then Education Minister Hekia Parata. For a period, every new classroom had to be built open plan, so up to 100 students could learn in one space with 3 teachers collaboratively. Many schools still have them, but Education Minister Erica Stanford says the barn-like designs "aren't meeting the needs of students". Instead, there will be a range of designs schools can choose from that are flexible, but not open plan. Principal of Albany Senior High School and the President of the Auckland Secondary Schools Principals Association Claire Amos spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
The government has drawn a line under one of education's most contentious issues - today it announced a halt to building what everyone except for teachers call open-plan classrooms. Modern learning environments, flexible learning environments, and innovative learning environments, whatever name you give them, their day is done. The government says evidence backs the move, though surveys show most teachers who work in the buildings like them. Education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.
Wednesday's announcement that open plan classrooms are to be a thing of the past resulted in much public debate. Te Ao Marama School principal Tony Grey spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Many principals are welcoming the Government's decision to scrap open plan classrooms as a no-brainer. Education Minister Erica Stanford says all new builds will have more traditional layouts, reversing the decision from John Key's government. Christchurch's Shirley Boys' High School's paid $800 thousand to transform its open plan classrooms to single cells. Headmaster Tim Grocott told Heather du Plessis Allan they noticed an immediate improvement. He says they're a secondary school teaching individual subjects, so individual classes for teachers is crucial. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Open-plan classrooms will soon be a thing of the past, according to a new directive from the Government. Education Minister Erica Stanford's announced plans to build all new classrooms with standardised designs. Rangiora High School's already spent one and a half million dollars removing its open-plan style classes. Principal Bruce Kearney says it ended up being distracting. "They tend to be noisier, but it was also the combination of 60 kids, two teachers - the whole deal, really. It didn't really work out for us."

There's concerns the Government's being too black and white with its decision to pull the plug on open plan classrooms. The idea was introduced by John Key's Government in 2011. The Education Minister Erica Stanford says now all new builds will have more traditional layouts. Auckland's May Road Primary School Principal Lynda Stuart told Andrew Dickens it shouldn't be a binary discussion. She says it works well when you've thought about neurodivergent children, others that need the space to move and you've designed an environment for them.

Albeit inspired by a progressive vision of a working environment without walls or hierarchies, the open plan office has come to be associated with some of the most dehumanizing and alienating aspects of the modern office. Jennifer Kaufman-Buhler's fascinating new book Open Plan: A Design History of the American Office (Bloomsbury, 2021) examines the history of the open plan office concept from its early development in the late 1960s and 1970s, through its present-day dominance in working spaces throughout the world, examining the design, meaning, and use of the open plan from the perspective of architects and designers, organizations, and workers. Using the progressive vision of the early promoters of the open plan as a framework for analysis, and drawing on original archival research and contemporary discussions of the open plan, this book explores the various goals embedded in the open plan and examines how the design of the open plan evolved through the late 20th century in response to various social, cultural, organizational, technological and economic changes. Nushelle de Silva is a PhD candidate in the Department of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her work examines museums and exhibitions, and how the dissemination of visual culture is politically mediated by international organizations in the twentieth century.

A lot of us have experience of open plan designs. Like any design, there are some wonderful examples and some troublesome ones. In recent months, open plan schools, otherwise known as innovative learning environments, have been pulled into the debate. In this week's episode, we speak with Mary Featherston, a celebrated Australian designer whose recent work specialises in learning and play spaces; particularly for young children and Rory Hyde, an architectural researcher, curator and writer at the Melbourne School of Design.
If you step into a newly built school these days, chances are they look very different to your childhood classroom. Instead of a standard classroom with four walls, you're likely find a large room that contains two or three classes, with no wall to separate them, and ample room for teachers and students to move between the ‘classroom' spaces. Listen to host Kat Clay in conversation with Senior Associate Anika Stobart, and Education Researcher Brigitte Garbin, about how open-plan classrooms might be harming our children's learning.

The Open Plan Office. A little bit of you might die inside every time you hear those words. But we promise you the history of how they came to be is worth hearing.Born at the same time as the counter cultural revolution of the 60s, Open Plan was supposed to create the offices that the egalitarian, free-thinking children of that revolution would want to work in.The Open Plan Office was supposed to do away with stultifying hierarchies of post-war offices (think Mad Men). To give workers the flexibility to be their best selves and to allow the free flow of ideas.Oh how the best laid plans of mice and men go oft awry!Here to tell the story is Jennifer Kaufmann Buhler, a design historian and author of the book Open Plan: A Design History of the American Office.Produced by Freddy Chick, edited by Joseph Knight, senior producer is Charlotte Long Hosted on Acast.

Imagine an office without walls or hierarchies, a space that allows for the free and open exchange of ideas and a way to work… better. How would one implement this? More importantly, what happens when design ideals collide with workplace reality? Jennifer Kaufmann-Buhler's new book, Open Plan: A Design History of the American Office answers these questions. Kauffman-Buhler traces the evolution of the brightly colored officescapes of the 1960s and 1970s to the cubicles of the 1980s and 1990s and analyzes these changing office spaces as design concepts promoted by architects, designers, and furniture makers, and as work space used by organizations and their employees. Jennifer Kaufmann-Buhler is an Assistant Professor at the Rueff School of Design, Art, and Performance at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Her research focuses on the interactions and intersections of people, space, and things in everyday life. To support her work, Dr. Kaufmann-Buhler received research funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, & Society at the Hagley Museum & Library. For more, visit hagley.org.
Albeit inspired by a progressive vision of a working environment without walls or hierarchies, the open plan office has come to be associated with some of the most dehumanizing and alienating aspects of the modern office. Jennifer Kaufman-Buhler's fascinating new book Open Plan: A Design History of the American Office (Bloomsbury, 2021) examines the history of the open plan office concept from its early development in the late 1960s and 1970s, through its present-day dominance in working spaces throughout the world, examining the design, meaning, and use of the open plan from the perspective of architects and designers, organizations, and workers. Using the progressive vision of the early promoters of the open plan as a framework for analysis, and drawing on original archival research and contemporary discussions of the open plan, this book explores the various goals embedded in the open plan and examines how the design of the open plan evolved through the late 20th century in response to various social, cultural, organizational, technological and economic changes. Nushelle de Silva is a PhD candidate in the Department of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her work examines museums and exhibitions, and how the dissemination of visual culture is politically mediated by international organizations in the twentieth century.
