The aim for this book is for it to become a reference in the ongoing debate about spaces of
learning and education: it presents contributions from experts in the relevant fields along
with the research underlying the project select case studies and testimony of the iterations
of this initiative in France Portugal and Belgium. It cements the optimistic view shared by
the project's participants over the years: the believe that public education is a foundation of
contemporary Europe and that the right architectural and design solutions really can enhance
and multiply its power.
