The reciprocal relationship between user and form can be seen as an analogy for the same relationship between individual and community. "Users project themselves into the form, just like individuals show their true colours in their various relationships with others while they are interacting," remarks the architect, "and so becoming what they are". Through its forms, the school can also (and especially) become the interpreter of the educational needs of an individual, through preparatory spaces to the infinite possible situations of collective interaction, rather than spaces conceived exclusively by the acquisition of notions; places in which to savour moments of ordinary life, anticipating what the student will be faced with outside of the school. The spaces of the school building are therefore imagined as "places", in which the individual personalities of the pupils can be recognised as active parts of a community: changing space, precursors of a complex urbanity, open to phenomena of social gathering. "Experiencing school" in suitable spaces and places can become a metaphor for our "being in the world", learning to get on with other people, respect rules, look after and participate in the space that surrounds us.
