Editorial Review:
An exhaustive and invaluable source for the practising architect who is looking for an informative and inspirational tool for the design of school buildings.
Architects designing school buildings within an ever-changing approach to education must handle with sensitivity the balance between functional spaces - those for growth and play and those for disciplined learning and orderly behaviour.
This book presents a series of contemporary case studies of primary and elementary through to high schools. It reflects educational philosophies and needs, as well as cultural and climatic considerations across the world.
Key Features:

Showcases a comprehensive international selection of styles of school buildings
Contains plans, illustrations, drawings and many full colour photographs which make this a practical and visual reference for practising architects
