The Chicago Schoolhouse: High School Architecture and Educational Reform, 1856-2006

摘要

All of a sudden, architectural historians are thinking about schools. I hope this is evidence of a new trend to document educational landscapes, because for too long, far too long, places made for children to learn (and live and play) have received short shrift from our scholarly community. The encouraging evidence of interest includes a new history of children's spaces in Denmark, several of open-air schools in Europe, and one study of British schools. In the United States, architectural historians have started to consider spaces for children, including in this journal.
