Given the information found in the following article, can you tell me the logic behind allowing the children to assist in designing their school's architecture?:


Classrooms are arranged around an indoor rainforest. Porthole windows that look like googly eyes peering out from lumpy, butter-colored walls. Zigzagging roofs and soaring archways. 
If this mind-bending vision sounds like something that might have been dreamt up by school pupils, that’s because it was – and now those dreams have become reality in the eccentric, off-kilter shape of Madrid’s Reggio school (main picture).

Designed by Spanish architect Andrés Jaque, the Reggio’s radical construction not only brings nature indoors but also encourages plant and animal life to colonize its ‘living’ exterior walls.
Clad in an insulating mixture of mashed cork, it offers an ideal habitat, not unlike the surface of a tree, for fungi, insects and microbial life. 

Classrooms look out onto gardens – some inaccessible to humans – created by ecologists to attract birds, butterflies, bats and bees. Inside, a courtyard hosts the miniature temperate rainforest which rises two stories to the glass canopy above. Labs and workshops are arranged around its edges.

The school’s design is a living embodiment of the radical Reggio-Emilia method, an educational philosophy developed in postwar Italy. It sees children not as empty vessels to be filled with education, but as active participants in defining their curriculum.
Experience – touching, listening and first-hand discovery – lie at the heart of the learning process. Connection with the outdoors is key and the physical environment is imagined as the ‘third teacher’, with spaces configured to encourage open-ended exploration.

Because they share the same educational values as the radical Italian education reformer Reggio Emilia, the administration and teachers of this school invited the students to participate in the design of the facility. According to this approach, experiential learning is the foundation of education, and the best way to learn is to incorporate experiences like touching, hearing, and hands-on learning into any effective curriculum.
