Chapter Two

Pedagogical infrastructure

How much do the school and its architectural and physical structure influence education?

In the history of architecture, the project of the pedagogical infrastructure has always had a fundamental role. From the Walter Gropius’ Bauhaus to the Giancarlo De Carlo’s Campus Universitario of Urbino and to the Lacaton and Vassal’s School of Architecture of Nantes, the project of the school has always been - and it still is – the medium to spread a vision of architecture and of the world. The project itself is a pedagogical and taming tool. Hence, today, how can we envision and rethink this branch of the project?
