Summary
America's leading educational architect gives readers the benefit of his decades of experience with award-winning and innovative school design. William Brubaker takes architects and educators step-by-step through the process of planning and building, or rebuilding, the schools of the future, whether large, single-unit high schools, or small, parklike, multi-unit elementary schools, and every permutation in between. The new baby boom and new philosophies of classroom learning have created a great demand for new school designs, and Planning and Designing Schools shows how those challenges can be brilliantly met.
