"Designing the Sustainable School is a compendium of ideas illustrating how some very talented architects and committed facility planners are meeting the challenge of creating better schools for the 21st century. They are creating schools that are eco friendly, embody high performance design principles, are rich in architectural character, and enhance the health and well being of students and teachers. The projects represent a wide range of design solutions, aesthetics, location, and scale, ranging in size from the Aga Khan Award winning three-room schoolhouse in Burkina Faso by Diebedo Francis Kere, to the 2500 student, 260,000 square foot high school in Santa Ana, California by LPA Architects." "Each of the 45 featured projects is presented with an overview of the components of the high performance "tool kit" employed by architects to achieve sustainable design goals. Collectively, these demonstrate the breadth of tools that today's architects can employ to build a sustainable future for our children." -- Contents: Foreword by Richard Fedrizzi 6 -- Neuroscience and the sustainable school by John P.
