Designing and Building Schools

How do you design and build a good school? First published in 2012 and reissued in 2017, this standard work on designing new school buildings will soon be available in an updated handbook format. The question of how pedagogy can be translated into contemporary, high-quality school architecture is central to the guide, as is that of how joint planning can succeed. New typologies and developments in school design are described in detail, with attention paid to the implementation of a pre-planning phase in school design. The volume provides exciting insights into the fundamentals and processes of school design in Germany for all relevant professions and interested stakeholders.
