Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two powerful forces are driving American's demands for better schools -- one longstanding force is idealistic and the other is "new" and economic. The current group of young Americans is in danger of being the first full generation to consistently make less money and enjoy fewer worldly rewards than their parents. The intersection of idealistic and pragmatic forces has produced an era of calls for reform in U.S. education that is unparalleled -- calls that have resulted in the creation of the New American Schools Development Corporation (NASDC). The chapters in this book highlight the path traveled by NASDC -- a private, non-profit corporation charged with creating new, "break the mold" school designs for the 21st century -- and describes the first three years' accomplishments of nine NASDC development teams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several years, an impressive array of technologies, information, and other resources have been developed to improve the way school buildings are designed and constructed. These tools can be used to change the traditional approach to school building in the United States - an approach that has a considerable negative impact on the natural environment and has produced many facilities that are costly to operate, difficult to maintain, and in some cases, unhealthy for children and staff. With tens of billions of dollars to be invested in school building programs in the coming years, states and school districts have a unique opportunity to use the wealth of information and other resources now available to maximize their investment in school facilities.

Download or read book Flexibility and Design written by Joshua D. Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions flexibility as a design approach by providing a longitudinal analysis of an innovative architectural experiment called the School Construction Systems Development (SCSD) project. The SCSD pioneered the use of performance specifications to create an open, prefabricated, and integrated system of building components that provided four modes of flexibility. Educational facilities throughout California used the SCSD system and it spawned a variety of similar projects throughout North America. This book traces the development and subsequent use of the system over 50 years through archival research, personal observations, re-photography, re-surveying, plan evaluations, interviews, and an advertisement analysis. These new findings provide useful insights for architects, educators, historic preservationists, and others about the affordances of spatial flexibility, the difficulties associated with technological transfer, the impact of unstable market conditions, the importance of user input during the planning process, and the need for long-term social relations to sustain architectural experiments.

Download or read book School Design Together written by Pamela Woolner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is ripe for interdisciplinary, collaborative approaches to school design. Whatever the current funding limitations, we still need to think about how we design, organise and use space in schools for learning and teaching. This edited book ensures that we don’t start from ground zero in terms of good design. Including chapters from researchers and practitioners in architecture and education, it assesses, describes and illustrates how education and environment can be mutually supportive. The centrality of participation and collaboration between architects, educators and school users holds these diverse contributions together. The book embodies the practice as well as the principle of interdisciplinary working. Organised in two parts, this volume considers how schools are designed and used with chapters looks at current and past school environments in the UK, US and Europe. It then questions how the learning environment can be improved through participatory design processes with contributors from design and education backgrounds offering both theoretical understanding and practical ideas. Written without subject-specific jargon or assumptions, it can be used by readers from either an architectural or educational background, bridging the on-going communication gap between education and design professionals. Design and education professionals alike will appreciate the: • practical information which shows how to change or improve a learning environment • focus on evidence-based research • case studies and chapter topics including schools from across the primary and secondary sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is an educational resource that informs the reader about sustainable design and the benefits sustainable design practices offer school communities. Research for this paper was conducted using two key questions as organizational drivers. Those questions are: 2) What practices do schools and school districts need to adopt if they want to apply sustainable design principles to new school building design and construction? In the course of answering those questions, this paper argues that school districts will benefit from the application of sustainable design principles to the design and construction of new schools. The benefits will occur because sustainable design and construction decisions will lead to creation of learning environments that are environmentally healthy for occupants, operationally efficient and site-sensitive to the natural community environment into which a project is placed. This paper also argues that school districts will be best served by being proactive in their embrace of sustainable design principles. School communities will see the greatest gains by taking deliberate action to educate themselves about both the concepts and the processes that are critical to the successful application of sustainable design principles. Finally, adoption of those concepts and processes will be most successful if they are employed using a collaborative and interdisciplinary project management model that involves project teams and the community throughout the design and construction process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper planning in the design of new school facilities saves time, money, and resources. The importance of planning increases when funds are scarce, as limited dollars must be put to their best use. A dialogue should be generated in the community and among members of the school planning committee regarding how schools should look. Many questions that must be considered in the construction of new schools and building remodeling are addressed as well as issues and alternatives each district can take into account with its own resources, situation, and philosophy. The first section looks at a hypothetical school containing design elements that are described and discussed in section 2. Section 3 outlines planning steps, specification determination, and planning for quality. Design examples of nine schools, a master plan checklist, and a listing of resources in providing planning assistance are included. (EJS)
