Flexibility, safety and accessibility: in addition to the current
technical, energy and environmental standards, school buildings require
innovative structural solutions which extend far beyond the building
design. The authors guide the reader through the cultural development of
school buildings, presenting stakeholders as well as historical and
contemporary learning concepts, defining organizational tasks,
formulating quality standards of contemporary learning and working as
well as presenting typologies and spatial organizational models, which
were created in cooperation with the foundation, the Montag Stiftung, as
part of the project Guidelines for Productive School Buildings. 32
international school buildings are presented through detailed drawings
and photographs, arranged according to their levels of education. Ten
design parameters for school construction round off this practical
design manual. With contributions by Natascha Meuser, Hans Wolfgang
Hoffmann,Thomas Müller and Jochem Schneider.
