Résumé:
Maurice R. Stein and Larry Miller’s 'Blueprint for Counter Education' is one of the defining (but neglected) works of radical pedagogy of the Vietnam War era. Originally published as a boxed set by Doubleday in 1970, the book was accompanied by large graphic posters that could serve as a portable learning environment for a new process-based model of education, and a bibliography and checklist that map patterns and relationships between radical thought and artistic practices—from the modernist avant-gardes to postmodernism, from the Bauhaus to Black Mountain College, from Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin to Buckminster Fuller and Norman O. Brown—with Herbert Marcuse and Marshall McLuhan serving as points of anchorage. 'Blueprint for Counter Education' thus serves as a vital synthesis of the numerous intellectual currents in the countercultural debate on the radical reform of schools, universities and ways of learning. To accompany this new facsimile edition of the book and posters, an 80-page booklet features a conversation with the original Blueprint creators, Maurice R. Stein, Larry Miller and designer Marshall Henrichs, as well as essays from Jeffrey Schnapp, Paul Cronin and notes on the design by Adam Michaels of Project Projects.

Résumé:
"Design for Education" is a survey of modern learning environments -- from universities to primary schools. Introduced by Andrew Blum, a contributing editor at Metropolis, the book focuses on education's need for facilities that effectively support learning and accommodate growth and change over time. At a time when the education sector in developed countries is dealing with new budget realities, the book considers alternatives such as building repositioning and multipurpose, 24/7 facilities. In high-growth developing countries, it looks at the new campuses of international institutions. Seventeen case studies provide a detailed survey of the education sector's current range of facilities. For each project, the case studies document client intent, design response, key features, and highlights of actual or expected performance. Illustrated, the book serves as a guide to the state of the art of academic facilities for a range of pubic and private institutions.

Résumé:
With ''The Wandering Maker,'' Machiel Spaan hopes to make a contribution to architectural design as a discipline that requires time and thought – a sincere search for the right place, craftsmanship, material, and space. He sheds light on the discovery of space by way of his personal experiences from his own practice, the Amsterdam-based office M3H, from his role as an educator, and from his impressions gained from travelling, reading, and contemplating. The stories connect doing, seeing, and learning. In his mind, 'creation' can be divided into seven skills that together drive the design and creation process: looking, playing, creating, moving, imagining, constructing, and unravelling.
