Summary:I work with the concept of apparatuses of material storytelling as a way to study the enactment of 'the future school'. The article analyses a project at a school that involved students, teachers and leaders building models for learning spaces to inspire the architect who were to design a new building for grades 4-6. The analysis is theoretically informed by 'new materialist thinking'. The analysis show how the project, while producing differentiated learning spaces and ideas about the learning student, configures and reconfigures the organization known as 'a school' in ways that highlight contemporary problems concerning authority, management and the constitution of 'the student', in an education system which is increasingly focused on learning-centred educational management on the students desire and motivation for learning.
