An unconventional guide for revolutionary school design by Paris-based Gaëtan Le Penhuel Architectes & Associés.

Paris-based Gaëtan Le Penhuel Architectes & Associés have made their name in the field with revolutionary designs of school buildings for nearly 30 years. Based on this wealth of experience, Gaëtan Le Penhuel presents ABC: Schools of the Future. Best Design Practices, a compact and charming guide to developing school buildings for the future that meet the needs of students.

Each chapter focuses on one key part of these structures, such as the classroom, the schoolyard, the hallway, the auditorium, and more. In conversation with architectural publicist Alice Dubet, Le Penhuel outlines pathways to better school architecture and points out obstacles to overcome and mistakes to avoid. Quentin Vijoux’s illustrations provide easy visual access to the concepts of Gaëtan Le Penhuel Architectes & Associés—not only for architects and teachers but also for students and their parents.
