Dwelling Schools: Between Pedagogy and Architecture
Beate Weyland; Bruna Sigillo
Peter Lang Publishing Group
Historically, schools were solely places of learning, but this is changing. Schools are now "dwelling spaces" where individuals spend much of their day developing and connecting. This book highlights the educational quality of these spaces, seen as both relational systems and physical objects shaped by educational intentions. The book explores educational architecture as a living space through the dialogue between pedagogy and architecture, emphasizing how design and pedagogical approaches can synergize to create environments that foster learning and personal growth. Instead of a standard model, it offers innovative ideas for transforming schools into welcoming 21st-century spaces. The authors, based in South Tyrol and Taranto, examine educational space, school time, and community development. They propose creating home-like spaces and a holistic view of school time, incorporating playful and creative aspects. Contributions from Cesare Scurati and Sandy Attia enrich the discussion, exploring educational leadership and school management. The book advocates for a new educational architecture that fosters growth and connection, combining pedagogy and design to meet contemporary needs.
