Publisher's Synopsis
School buildings, whether new build, refurbishment, renovation or expansion raise issues with the natural environment, urbanisation and urban life, which in turn mean new priorities and responsibilities for professionals designing schools. Modern schools are no longer isolated from their neighbours in a city, but must be an organic part of urban life. Modern school designs showcase new priorities, quality-control is always first, sustainability is in and schools are the new centre of community residents' life. We selected 42 school designs by world architects and interior designers, including primary and secondary schools and professional training schools.
