N2  - This compendium contains more than 40 schools that show new directions in design and the changing demands of this building type; "Of all building types in North America, elementary and secondary schools are enjoying a building boom, as communities pick up the pace of school design and construction. For the designer, this building type is vibrant with possibilities. As the projects in this colorful and sumptuously illustrated book show, schools are taking a variety of new forms, large and small, complete with amenities often shared between students, teachers, administrators, and the community at large." "This compendium contains more than 40 schools that show new directions in design, and the changing demands on this building type. Author Michael J. Crosbie discusses the design challenges in new schools, and how each one of these projects meets the demands of an architecture for learning." "In his essay on the subject of school design, architect Raymond Bordwell explains many of the trends in new school design, all of which are illustrated in this collection. In addition to responding to new directions in education, architects and designers are now working to realize projects in new ways. This books shows how they're doing it."--BOOK JACKET
