Book Description:
In a global economy, the importance of education is now widely recognized.
Furthermore, in the wake of international assessment studies, 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 realized in built form.

With 80 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 specialized field encompassing ever-changing educational theories
is explained in the context of varying national and regional approaches.
Among the key themes analyzed are aspects such as the impact of modern
communication technology, urban integration or internal circulation. The
book will also be of interest to educationalists, parents and the wider
community.
