Trade ReviewThis is a thoughtful and practical companion to the journey that every institution is undertaking to respond to the demands of a modern higher education experience. * Peter Bryant, Head of Learning Technology and Innovation, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK *
This rich exploration of the complex interplay between learning and space provides inspiration for reshaping the core of higher education in complex times. * David White, Head of Digital Learning, University of the Arts, UK *
This is a good book for people interested in how space can be used and conceived of within learning. It would be useful as an overview for people new to this subject, and its organisation would make it easy for ‘dippers’ to just pick out the chapters they are particularly interested in … easy to read them individually and then go into more depth regarding the context that is particularly interesting. * Alke Gröppel-Wegener, Innovative Practice in Higher Education, Vol. 03 (3) *
