This book draws on important original transdisciplinary research to
address a wide range of issues relating to the remodeling of
existing schools for pre-teenagers to fit them to various novel
teaching models (e.g. collaborative learning, ICT integration, and
out-of-classroom working) and to create effective educational
environments for the future. The strong relationship between
people's wellbeing, physical environment and student learning in
schools has already been extensively studied in international
research. At the same time, a number of different scenarios of
possible innovations are now emerging, and these require conscious
choices in terms of designing both the ways and the places where
educational processes can be developed. The principal focus of this
research was the relationship between infrastructure, activities,
and school communities. The book is divided into three sections,
the first of which discusses conceptual aspects and outlines
innovative renewal strategies. The second section describes a
participatory research process developed in five case studies of
lower-secondary or middle schools with the aim of updating our
knowledge about such schools and identifying emerging issues. The
last section presents case studies, operational tools, and design
strategies that aid decision-making and support interventions to
renew school facilities. The book is intended mainly for scholars
of architecture and education, but is also of interest to a wider
readership, including principals, teachers, designers,
decision-makers in school communities, and heads of municipal
education departments.
