Designing for Education
Compendium of Exemplary Educational Facilities 2011
Designing for Education: Compendium of Exemplary Educational Facilities 2011 showcases over 60 recently built or refurbished educational facilities from 28 countries. Collectively, these projects demonstrate state-of-the-art design in this field and each one is lavishly illustrated with colour photos, plans and descriptions.
The individual chapters – which are in higher resolution format – are available on the OECD iLibrary.
