Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The United States has about $2 trillion tied up in aging school facilities. School districts throughout the country spend about $12 billion every year keeping this infrastructure going. Yet almost all of the new money we pour into school facilities reinforces an existingâand obsoleteâmodel of schooling.
In Blueprint for Tomorrow, Prakash Nairâone of the worldâs leading school designersâexplores the hidden messages that our school facilities and classrooms convey and advocates for the âalignmentâ of the design of places in which we teach and learn with twenty-first-century learning goals.
Blueprint for Tomorrow provides simple, affordable, and versatile ideas for adapting or redesigning school spaces to support student-centered learning. In particular, the author focuses on ways to use current spending to modify existing spaces, and explains which kinds of adaptations offer the biggest return in terms of student learning. The book is organized by areaâfrom classrooms to cafeteriasâand is richly illustrated throughout, including âbefore and afterâ features, âsmart ideaâ sidebars, and âdo nowâ suggestions for practical first steps. It outlines key principles for designing spaces that support todayâs learning needs and includes tools to help educators evaluate the educational effectiveness of their own spaces.
Blueprint for Tomorrow will open educatorsâ eyes to the ways that architecture and learning are entwined and will challenge them to rethink the ways they teach and work together.
