Learning Environments ― An Innovative Approach

Using the ‘learning landscape’ concept as an overarching theme, this book explores how space in schools, colleges and higher education can support changing learning and teaching strategies as well as a wide range of other community based uses. From the exploration of individual learning settings through to the creation of learning centred masterplanning of major higher education institutions, this book provides both breadth and depth in order to fully illustrate all of the issues involved.

Presenting examples of innovative learning environments from the UK, USA and Australia, this book explores how learning and teaching at every stage of life can be supported by the physical and virtual places within which it takes place. Including full colour illustrations, technical drawings and plans, this is the complete design guide for any architect working on a learning environment from pre-school to tertiary education.
