THE INDIRECT APPROACH
The Indirect Approach focuses on transforming an overlooked site like a school's playground into a center for learning and play, to the benefit of an entire school culture.  Jill Vialet and the Under-Supervised Playground.

Another example of an indirect approach are the "world building" and "negotiations" modules of our future design project, where young people advocate for their own generation's needs at an agreed-upon date in the future.  Like the playground in the struggling charter school, this is indirect approach exposes a culturally predetermined blind spot that we tend to avoid.
