Innovative Spacing

Innovative Spacing: Connecting Engineering, Education and Design looks at how schools and other learning spaces can be rethought by combining engineering practice, teaching innovation and spatial design. It draws on real-world case studies, the author's autoethnographic reflections and interdisciplinary research to present a vision of learning environments that are ready for the future.

The book is written for educators, engineers and designers. It asks them to think about the built environments in which learning happens, and about what nomadic and inclusive pedagogies could offer. Readers who are redesigning a classroom, shaping policy or doing educational research will find ideas for bringing together space, technology and human experience.

The main themes are reframing educational spaces through engineering design, inclusive pedagogy and spatial innovation, autoethnographic approaches to teaching and learning, and cross-disciplinary practices for creating inclusive, adaptive environments.
