Architecture for Achievement: Building Patterns for Small School Learning

de Victoria Bergsagel, Tim Best, Kathleen Cushman, David Stephen, Lorne McConachie, Wendy Sauer

A team of experienced architects and educators charts a practical and elegant path through the maze of decisions encountered in a school building or conversion project. Filled with examples from the field, Architecture for Achievement sets out a "pattern language" with which planners can explore the architectural details that will make or break their school's design. This network of basic principles sheds light on a wide range of issues, helping readers work out a coherent version of what their own school requires, and why. --from publisher description
