Handbuch Schulen planen und bauen

How do you design and build a good school? The question of how pedagogy can be translated into contemporary, high-quality school architecture is central to the guide, as is that of how joint planning can succeed. New typologies and developments in school design are described in detail, with attention paid to the implementation of a pre-planning phase in school design. The volume provides exciting insights into the fundamentals and processes of school design in Germany for all relevant professions and interested stakeholders.

First published in 2012 and reissued in 2017, this standard work on designing new school buildings is now available in an updated handbook format.
