Dutch school buildings

In conversation with Lara Schrijver, professor of Architecture Theory at the University of Antwerp, Paula Lacomba Montes talked about her research into the architecture of schools. In her project, in which she explored how pedagogical models and notions of domesticity manifest in the designs of Dutch school buildings, she heavily relied on the Herman Hertzberger archive, amongst others.
