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 best' 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  school buildings, school spaces and school cultures  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'An excellent contribution to the school design literature, the book is especially suited to readers interested in the history of open-plan schools and in different methodological approaches. Since many of the essays address the open-plan school, readers can explore how these schools embodied Cold War values of individualism and freedom, how teaching conventions challenged their success, and how national contexts produced variations in the rise and fall of this model.' - \u003c\/strong\u003eRachel Remmel, \u003cem\u003eHistory of Education Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e, University of Rochester\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Discerning and indispensible, \u003ci\u003eDesigning Schools: Space, Place and Pedagogy \u003c\/i\u003etakes us to Australia, Europe, the United States, Africa, and Latin America to learn about school buildings in the twentieth century.

This book puts the materiality of schooling back into the centre of our efforts to understand how teaching and learning have changed over the last century. Relationships between modernism in school design and efforts to develop progressive pedagogies are only part of the argument. The chapters in this book explore new dimensions of old questions such as the significance of the school in the making of populations conceived in racial, gender and class terms. \u003ci\u003eDesigning Schools\u003c\/i\u003e challenges its readers to imagine schools as spaces as much as places, and the meanings they develop within a variety of geographical, cultural and temporal settings that include urban, suburban and rural—national, colonial and post colonial. \u003ci\u003eDesigning Schools\u003c\/i\u003e is significant enough to change the ways we think about schooling.'\u003c\/strong\u003e - Craig Campbell, Editor, \u003ci\u003eHistory of Education Review, \u003c\/i\u003eUniversity of Sydney\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
