Description

Designing Schools explores the close connections between the design of school buildings and educational practices throughout the twentieth century to today.

Through international cases studies that span the Americas, Europe, Africa and Australia, this volume examines historical innovations in school architecture and situates these within changing pedagogical ideas about the ‘best’ ways to educate children.

It also investigates the challenges posed by new technologies and the digital age to the design and use of school places.

Set around three interlinked themes – school buildings, school spaces and school cultures – this book argues that education is mediated or framed by the spaces in which it takes place, and that those spaces are in turn influenced by cultural, political and social concerns about teaching, learning and the child.
