Abstract
There are certain unusual architectural features that move through a diversity of buildings and structures. Danny Hagan researches the popularity of the atrium, placing attention on their role in both shopping and education. The atrium creates new relationships between culture and nature, shoppers/students and their environment. Therefore the history of the commodification of education can be tracked through the movement of the atrium onto university campuses.
