Space and Inclusion

New concepts for school buildings

• strategies to promote more inclusive school architecture
• practical recommendations with a wealth of illustrations


Inclusion makes new demands on schools with diversity amongst children and adolescents leading to the development of new forms of learning which require different room designs. In the future, we will need learning environments which fulfil a very wide range of requirements and take account of the abilities and needs of all pupils. This book sets out the spatial pre-requisites for inclusive school development. Twelve case studies (10 in Germany, 1 in Canada and 1 in Finland) serve as an inspiration for the planning of new, inclusive school buildings and the conversion of existing ones to render them more inclusive.
