Stamen, Maps, and Brightworks – post on the Stamen Design blog about their visit to a school around the corner from them in San Francisco, Brightworks, “an exploratory school whose method is rooted in project-based learning.”  What a great coming together of cutting edge map designers at Stamen and young students at a cutting edge school that’s all about creative learning.  Stamen’s visit was part of Brightwork’s “month-long study covering wayfinding, ecosystem maps, map projections, topology, and more.”  The photos show a school that’s set up more like a collaborative workspace, a reflection of its tagline: everything is interesting / we can create anything.
