Using the gazebo as a focus has helped the student to develop skill in drafting language and techniques as well as direction toward possible goals in terms of personal space management and career interests. In realistic terms it is not possible for the average student to actually build a gazebo, but by working the problem through the student becomes aware that space is some which has a language and which can be manipulated and controlled by the student in miniature.
