Future Schools
Uniquely Future Schools not only provides design guidance on themes in schools architecture and a wealth of recent innovative projects drawn from the UK but also an understanding of the socio-political and economic context that any practice must work within when taking on a schools project. It balances beautiful visuals and innovative case studies with in-depth discussion of the thought processes and issues to consider in good school design. Reflecting on ambitious projects during the BSF period of high investment and post-BSF creativity and innovation during austerity it considers the next phase of school design shaped by growing student numbers, diversity in project types and routes and the growing opportunities for smaller practices as work on existing buildings becomes more common.
Law in Practice
Intensely practical and clearly written, Law in Practice: the RIBA Legal Handbook is the RIBA's jargon-free, professional guide to the law as it relates to a construction project.

School Buildings
"Teacher-centred learning in front of a blackboard has served its time. Instead, many schools now teach in open learning landscapes with movement areas and more private spaces. Accordingly, the planning of school buildings faces the challenge of creating flexible room structures and new functional areas. In addition, environmental comfort and lighting as well as questions of energy efficiency and technology have become decisive. This book presents 20 forward-thinking school buildings. Specifically, participatory planning methods and innovative floor plans as well as sustainable design details are documented. All projects aim to positively influence everyday school life and to provide scope for new educational concepts."--Page 4 of cover.
The Boy with the Perpetual Nervousness
A Sunday Times Book of the Year 'Passionate and courageous, insightful and humane, funny and moving, this is a wonderful book' David Nicholls, author of One Day Shortlisted for the Portico Prize Graham Caveney was born in 1964 in Accrington: a town in the north of England, formerly known for its cotton mills, now mainly for its football team.
