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 lsquo;bestrsquo; 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 ndash; school buildings; school spaces and school cultures ndash; 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.
