Alternative Learning Environments
About this book
Originally published in 1974, this volume presents viable alternatives to traditional attitudes and practices in environmental design and education. It contains 29 selections that reflect the thought and actions of leaders from many diverse disciplines and professions. Architects, landscape architects, urban planners, teachers and administrators, psychologists and social theorists address themselves to controversial and important issues facing our post-industrial society. The range of subjects explored in the volume is far-reaching:
- Environmental education in which the art of planning and designing itself becomes the curriculum
- Advocacy planning and community participation in both educational and design decision making
- Alternative educational institutions, ranging from community-centered schools and mobile schools to non-school learning networks that distribute the learning activity throughout the fabric of the city and the lifetime of the learner
- New developments in systematic design methods and evaluation research that promise to make the design process more public and responsive to the user-client
