Forms of Education: About a Botanical Garden

This book retraces the evolution of architectural spaces for education, focusing on the deep connections between the ideas behind the pedagogic approaches and their architectural materialisation. Schools, academies and their historical references, have usually been conceived as the space built upon the representation of a specific pedagogic model. With the historical rise of intangible ways of transmitting knowledge, it is extremely important today to reshape the architectural design of these space in order to meet contemporary needs.
