Synopsis

This book charts the impact of design on education, specifically focusing on how design can shape the spaces and tools for learning.

This edited collection brings together the work of designers, architects, engineers, professionals, educators, and researchers, and presents a series of case studies and research developed from across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia. The book provides the tools to develop innovative approaches to design for education, and illustrates the conversation and action required to foster socially responsible design for education. As the contributions show, we must look at education as an input and output of a complex system, and we need to adopt an interdisciplinary multiple stakeholder approach, bringing together experts from a range of different fields and backgrounds as a cohesive strategy to improve future learning and teaching environments.

Providing guidance and a theoretical framework for designing spaces and tools for learning, this book will be a useful resource for design and architecture students, as well as practitioners, educational researchers, educational practitioners, policymakers, and behaviour and built environment researchers.
