A city is now conceived as a corporation working for the common good in a businesslike way. This implies adapting for city development the methods employed by the successful commercial and industrial corporations of the country. Part Of the program followed by such organizations has been the study Of the future needs of the people they expect to serve, as well as an attempt to discover the increase in growth of population in the communities in which they are doing business. The business corporation serving a widely scattered public which does not build in terms Of the future development of the territory which it serves soon fails to make adequate dividend returns to its stockholders.

Download or read book Design for a City School Building (Classic Reprint) written by Walter Thomas Bailey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design for a City School Building The class room is the fundamental unit of the school-house design. In American practice it is distinguished on the one hand from the recitation room, which has only chairs or settees for the pupils and is used, as its name implies, only for reci tations (or sometimes also for lectures and dictation exercises), and on the other from the general study room, which is found more frequently in Europe than With us, and in which a number of class es, aggregating a hundred or two of pupils, spend the assigned hours of study between recitations. The normal American class room accommodates from 30 to 50 (or rarely up to 60) pupils as fixed desks. In some special or private schools the number in a class room is as low as 25; but economy of administration makes b it desirable that the number should not fall below 30 to 35, while efficiency demands that it should not greatly or often ex esed 40. Each pupil has a desk, and the total floor area should not be less than 18 square feet per pupil, with at least 216 cu bic feet as the minimum cubic volume per pupil. Twenty square feet and 260 feet, respectively, are better figures for all ex cept the lower grades attended by small children. A slightly oh long room, with the teacher's desk at one end, is the best shape. Thus for a 40-desk class room in an upper grade grammar school.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Investigation of the New York City School Construction Program: A Report by the New York State Commission of Investigation, January 1962 The school construction program in the City of New York is one of major importance, and has' ranked as either the first or second largest single item in the capital budget of the City of New York since 1952. At the end of World War II, New York City found itself faced with the problem shared by municipalities throughout this country. A new and large crop of youngsters were ready to start their education, but for a number of years there had been no school construction at all. In New York City the problem was even more acute, for not only did it face an increased student population, but it was in the throes of major population shifts.

Book Synopsis Planning Secondary School Buildings (Classic Reprint) by : Nickolaus Louis Engelhardt
Download or read book Planning Secondary School Buildings (Classic Reprint) written by Nickolaus Louis Engelhardt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning Secondary School Buildings In this volume, the authors have endeavored to envisage the secondary school of the future. It will not be a standardized school. American communities will continue to plan and build to meet their local requirements. The school building will be planned to make the curriculum work. It will offer expanded opportunities for learning. It will serve, not a limited number of special minds, but will advance the individual interests of the various types of youth. It will make provision for learning the social arts as well as for growing in physical health and emotional stability. It will be the educational focus of its community serving youth and adults alike. It will become a superior educational and inspirational center for all American youth. This volume has been long in preparation. During three decades many of the Engelhardt students in school administration in Teachers College, Columbia University, participated in discussions and conferences, the results of which appear in these chapters. Architects, with whom the authors have been associated as educational consultants, have raised issues and offered suggestions that have been incorporated here for school building improvement. During the five year period, 1942-1947, N. L. Engelhardt, Sr., as Associate Superintendent of Schools of New York City in charge of'the Division of Housing and Business Administration, supervised the preparation of the New York City Manual of School Planning, modification of which has been included in several chapters. Scores of individuals contributed to the development of this manual. School board members and superintendents of schools and their staffs, who have frequently made valuable contributions to the planning of school buildings in association with the authors as educational consultants, will find many of their ideas incorporated here. Several sections of Volume VII, Planning Guides for San Francisco's School Buildings, prepared by the authors as a part of the twelve volume school building survey report of that city in 1948 have also been modified or expanded for inclusion in various chapters of this book. In their surveys of the school plant of cities in all parts of the United States, the authors have discovered unusually excellent characteristics of high school buildings, recording of which here has been felt worthwhile for future planners.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Analysis of Five-Year Building Program of Board of Education, 1917: Proposed Two and Three Year School Building Programs Gentlemen: The Committee on Municipal Research, at your direction, has analyzed in detail the Five Year Building Program of the Board of Education presented in the monograph "A Million a Year." The Committee reports that, in its opinion, the amount requested, $5,600,000, may be reduced to $4,498,220, and that the smaller amount will still make adequate provision for the expansion of the school plant necessary to operate the schools during the next five years, according to the educational program adopted by the Board of Education, the correctness of which the Committee has accepted for the purpose of this analysis. Before completing its report the Committee submitted its preliminary findings to Dr. Spaulding and his criticisms and suggestions were carefully considered in preparing the final report. As the estimates of the Board of Education for the last part of the five year period are necessarily dependent on factors which cannot be definitely determined so far in advance, your Committee has, in addition to its analysis of the five year program, prepared estimates for a two and three year program. The estimates for two years amount to $2,472,975 and for three years $2,945,063. The purpose of preparing a three year program was to show how expenditures may be reduced after the present plant has been brought up to the standard of equipment proposed in "A Million a Year." Dr. Spaulding's recommendation for buildings and additions to be completed before September 1st, 1918, (not yet adopted by the Board of Education) were taken as the basis of the proposed two year program. To this were added the amounts (based on the five year program) needed for new sites, additions to play-grounds and improvements needed to reduce fire risk and to bring present school buildings up to a proper standard of equipment. The estimates for the three year program are only slightly larger than for two years because they include, in addition to the two year program, merely the amounts necessary to provide for the normal increase in school population for the third year. The Committee on Municipal Research respectfully recommends that the Association express its approval of the five year building program of the Board of Education involving an expenditure estimated at $4,498,220. The Committee further suggests that the Association recommend the authorization of bonds amounting to $2,472,975 to provide funds for carrying out the plans for the first two years of the five year program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Score Card for City School Buildings Large sums of money have been spent, and still larger amounts must be made available, for the housing of school children. In the United States. In communities in which school accommodations are in use which were provided a generation or more ago, there needs to be a careful survey with a View to reconstruction 'b'r abandonment of buildings that are at present unfit for the purpose for which they are used. The ordinary observer is apt to think of a building as. Good or poor in terms of some particular part of the building with which he is familiar. There is need for much more care ful scrutiny and evaluation of each one of the elements which goes to make up a satisfactory school plant. Some years ago the authors of Standards for City School Buildings, which appear in this document, began to develop a score card and standards for the measurement of school buildings. Growing out of an experience in evaluating more than a thousand school buildings and in the careful study of school building standards, there have been developed a score card upon which is recorded the number of points out of a thousand assigned to any particular building and this state ment of standards. The score card and the accompanying standards have been used to advantage for two separate pur poses: first, the scoring of school buildings in the light of a school building program to be developed by a city, and sec ond, in the checking of plans for new school buildings.

Book Synopsis A Pattern Language by : Christopher Alexander
Download or read book A Pattern Language written by Christopher Alexander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction. After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language. At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people. At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. "Patterns," the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today.
