Expert Reviews

"What this book offers is the stimulation one gets from the company of a group of committed, experienced and able people who do the same job as you: you may not approach the job in quite the same way, or have exactly the same aims, but it is a major surprise if you do not come away with some new ideas, and renewed enthusiasm, after engaging with them."
Huw Thomas, International Planning Studies

"More people understanding how it all works means more people can help bring it all together. Service-Learning in Design and Planning: Educating at the Boundaries seeks to expand the knowledge of urban planning and architecture within communities, studying elements from around the world and how they can be applied locally and lead to a more inclusive plan for the communities of tomorrow. Service-Learning in Design and Planning is an informative and much recommended read for those who want to understand the importance of a communities wishes in preparing for its future."
The Midwest Book Review

"It is an exciting addition to the field of service-learning and a very great resource for any academic developing a service-learning program as part of their curriculum. Students, researchers and community partners in the field of service-learning will find the information very useful."
Eva Aboagye, Journal of Global Citizenship & Equity Education

"This collection of case studies critically explores the current practice of community-engaged learning in architecture, landscape design, and urban planning and forms a pedagogical framework for design educators."
Folio Magazine

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"An impressive collection on an important topic. Crossing design and planning, this engaging volume brings together a number of different approaches to service-learning—theoretically, by field, and in the scale of the activities in space and time. This makes it useful and important reading for both those starting off in the field of community-based education and old hands interested in critically reflecting on their past practice."
Ann Forsyth, Professor of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University

"This collection has its roots in the ideas of education theorists such as Dewey, Bruner, and Freire, all of whom advocate for the importance of experiential learning. The authors individually and collectively advance the idea of service-learning to community participation and social action. Consequently, this book not only challenges conventional thinking about education and practice but also illustrates a variety of successful off-the-shelf approaches. Design and planning educators and practitioners will find it to be a valuable companion in support of identifying directions for the future."
Henry Sanoff, Professor Emeritus of Architecture, ACSA/Alumni Distinguished Professor, North Carolina State University

"An invaluable new resource for faculty engaged in interdisciplinary action research aimed at building more vibrant, sustainable, and just neighborhoods, communities, and regions through inspired physical design."
Kenneth M. Reardon, Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in City and Regional Planning, University of Memphis

“The time is ripe for advancing a solid service-learning pedagogy in architecture, landscape architecture, and planning. Over several decades of innovation, experimentation, and trial and error, each of these design disciplines has spawned new and critical theory, linking professional work and social change. The wisdom of the twenty-nine leaders in service-learning within this volume provides a collective leap forward that benefits us all—students, teachers, designers, and the general public.”
Bryan Bell, Founder, Design Corps; author, Expanding Architecture: Design as Activism and Good Deeds Good Design: Community Service through Architecture

Case studies by design educators critically explore the current practice of community-engaged learning in architecture, landscape design, and urban planning, radically revising the standard protocol for university-initiated design/build projects in communities. The lively examination of real-life collaborations charts a new pedagogy for educators, with guidelines for an inclusive and collaborative design process.
