schools of the future
Zero carbon schools
Zero carbon schools – are they possible? Not with the current targets that expect every school to become a miniature power station, argues Richard Brailsford. But the targets are achievable if we take a holistic approach, Richard says – and encourage whole towns to work together to meet their energy needs with renewables.
Parents blind to design
A YouGov survey, commissioned by international architect Gensler, has revealed that only 6% of parents consider the design of a school’s learning environment in their top three criteria for school selection, and that 52% of parents chose geographical location and quality of teaching as the key drivers for school choice, closely followed by academic results at 51%.
The furniture debate
On a special feature on school furniture, Sean McDougall argues that we need a radical overhaul of how we design school furniture and argues that sitting comfortably really can make the difference to the way we learn in schools.
