Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Architecture in California To the School People of California: Five years ago we sent you the first handbook on school architecture ever issued by the State. It was introduced by this sentiment: "It is almost as cheap to build a beautiful schoolhouse as an ugly one, when we know how. California, like old Greece, is a land of beautiful things. Sun and sea and mountains, streams and trees and flowers conspire to make it a place inspiring to the painter, the poet, the musician, and delightful as a dwelling place for man. This attractiveness and beauty are practical assets of priceless value to the State. We who live here now should give to our landscapes tasteful and harmonious schoolhouses, not dreary shanties surrounded by slovenly barnyards. Our schools, reflecting the public spirit, should be handsome and prosperous, and must not teach slatternly lessons of unthrift to the little boys and girls who are coming on. Here is our Opportunity to touch and to improve the long procession of the future." This handbook made its mark upon the State. Schoolhouses are better lighted because of it and school grounds are of larger size. It created public interest in the school plant. There are constant calls made for it long after the supply is exhausted, and it seems desirable to have something of the kind on hand constantly for sending out to inquiring school officers. It is not possible to prepare and publish exact plans and specifications ready to use in every particular place. Only broad types and general ideas of buildings can be treated in this way. The specific structure for the particular district must be worked out by the local people on the ground, suited to local conditions. The plan of this second booklet is to show in a graphic way some excellent examples of the different types of school buildings that are being constructed to-day in California, so as to build up in the minds of the people a distinct ideal of what modern schoolhouses ought to be. The pictures and plans have been chosen from the whole State by a jury of competent and well-known school architects, who have given their work for the good of the cause. I hope the volume will be studied by those who are concerned in building our schools, and that its tendency may be toward better conditions for the boys and girls and finer landscapes for the Golden State.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Architecture in California However, while there was a great demand for this pamphlet and the buildings embodied therein certainly did much to stimulate a further interest in school building, it was obvious that by getting out a new volume there might be a great opportunity to improve the standards and character of school architecture, if the architects of the State would co-operate in advising the best schools to be published and thus draw them to the attention of boards of trustees and school people generally. An advisory committee of architects was therefore appointed from different parts of the State to act as a Jury to pass on all designs and plans submitted. It was understood at the outset that only such designs as this Jury professionally advised would be printed in the report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get the comprehensive guide to the sustainable design of schools. The elementary and secondary school buildings and campuses built today are the schools of the future. Sustainable School Architecture is a guide to the planning, architecture, and design of schools that are healthy, stimulating, and will conserve energy and resources. Written with the needs of architects, construction professionals, educators, and school administration in mind, the book provides a road map for sustainable planning, design, construction, and operations. By its very nature, a school is often the centerpiece of its community and, therefore, well positioned to take the lead in influencing environmental awareness. Building on this point, Sustainable School Architecture shows how eco-friendly practices for school construction can create an environment that young students will emulate and carry into the world. Written by experts on sustainable school design, this book: Focuses on the links between best sustainable practices and the specific needs of educational institutions. Has nineteen international case studies of the best contemporary sustainable schools located in urban, suburban, and rural communities in temperate, tropical, and extreme climate zones. Contains valuable information on the California Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system. Serves as a resource for incremental modernization and operation strategies as well as comprehensive transformation. Offers tips on running an integrated, community-based design process with support information on the materials and systems of the sustainable school. Includes contributions by experts on approaches to the sites, systems, maintenance, and operation of sustainable schools. With a practical overview of how sustainability can be achieved in new and existing schools, and how to maintain this momentum in the years ahead, this important book provides architects with detailed guidance for designing healthier learning environments to help usher in a more promising future.
