Mark Dudek, Research Fellow at School of Architecture, University of Sheffield and runs his own practice, Mark Dudek Associates, specializing in the design of schools and early years environments.
Description
This is the standard design guide on schools architecture, providing vital information on school architecture.
Mark Dudek views school
building design as a particularly specialised field encompassing ever changing educational theories, the subtle spatial and psychological
requirements of growing children and practical issues that are unique to these types of building.
He explores the functional requirements
of individual spaces, such as classrooms, and shows how their incorporation within a single institution area are a defining characteristic
of the effective educational environment.
Acoustics, impact damage, the functional differentiation of spaces such as classrooms,
music rooms, craft activities and gymnasium, within a single institution are all dealt with. More esoteric factors such as the effects
on behaviour of colour, light, surface texture and imagery are considered in addition to the more practical aspects of designing for
comfort and health.
Chapter 4 comprises 20 case studies which address those issues important in the creation of modern school settings.
They are state of the art examples from all parts of the world. These examples include: Pokstown Down Primary, Bournemouth; Haute Vallee
School, Jersey; Heinz-Galinski School, Berlin; Anne Frank School, Papendract, Netherlands; Seabird Island School, British Columbia and
The Little Village Academy, Chicago.
Audience
Student and practising architects and interior designers. Education officers, teachers and school governors.
