Description
When space is tight how can a city provide the best
education experience for children? Is a multi-storey school really a poor
option? Can high-quality play opportunities be provided without playgrounds?
This
book explores the design of schools in urban settings, the increased challenges
in meeting the typical expectations of school design, and what the successful
new typology of a school in a city might be. A practical guide as well as a theoretical exploration of ideas, this book outlines successful international
contemporary and historical case studies, providing much-needed guidance for architects and
others working in education design in dense urban environments.
