Description
In a global economy, the importance of education is now widely recognised and consequently schools and kindergartens have become a focus of great public interest. As a new generation of educational environments are designed and built, this Design Manual illustrates the most up-to-date educational strategies and how they are realised in built form.
With 81 case studies from Europe, North America and the Pacific Region, this is an essential guide for architects involved in the design of schools and kindergartens. This specialised field encompassing ever-changing educational theories is explained in the context of varying national and regional approaches.
Among the key themes analysed are aspects such as the impact of modern communication technology, urban integration and internal circulation. The book will also be of interest to educationalists, parents and the wider community. The case studies are logically organised by age group and are well presented with clear plans, concise and descriptive text and decent photographs, generally showing exterior and interior detail.
