Architecture for Education: New School Designs from the Chicago Competition
by Sharon Haar;Jamie Clarke PamelaHendrickson (9781564661012)

If the environment that surrounds us affects us in both subtle and direct, immediate and lasting ways, then the architecture of our schools is of profound importance. To this end, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Chicago-based Business and Professional People for the Public Interest joined forces to respectively sponsor and administer a juried public school design competition. The criteria for the competition were that the schools should provide intimate learning environments and that they should be economic to build, universally accessible, reflective of their communities, and innovative in design. Architecture for Education features the illustrated designs of the architecture firms who were selected by the jury, Konig Eizenberg and Marble Fairbanks, as well as the designs of the other finalists--Jack L. Gordon, Lubrano Ciavarra, Ross Barney + Jankowski, Borum Daubmann Hyde + Roddier, Mack Scogin Merill Elam, and Smith-Miller + Hawkinson.
