The Language of School design is a seminal work because it defines a new graphic vocabulary that synthesizes learning research with best practice in school planning and design. But it is more than a book about ideas. It is also a practical tool and a must-have resource for all school stakeholders involved in planning, designing and constructing new and renovated schools and evaluating the educational adequacy of existing school facilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for school administrators and architects
Reviewed in the United States on 31 July 2008

The authors follow architect Christopher Alexander's classic book "A Pattern Language". They develop a language or vocabulary of aspects of an educational model and show clear and vibrant examples of each.
It's not a common occurance to get such an effective synthesis of theory and concepts with practical applications.
I highly recommend this publication as a great resource for administrators planning new facilities and struggling with how to bridge the gulf between existing aging and inappropriate facilities and the new educational models being discussed and implemented.
An easy summer "beach-read" that will leave you energized and seeing possibilities for how exciting a school can really be.
