Las exploraciones de carácter espacial, social y cultural de buena parte de la arquitectura escolar colombiana de comienzos del siglo XXI han hecho que estos proyectos se destaquen en el contexto de la arquitectura contemporanea. Los proyectos seleccionados en este libro van mas alla de la respuesta a las necesidades curriculares y a la cualificacion material, formal o funcional del objeto arquitectonico, pues testimonian el caracter pedagogico intrinseco de la arquitectura a traves de sus relaciones espaciales y las acciones sobre todo colectivas, potenciadas por ellas. El presente libro permite comprender su evolucion a partir de una coyuntura en la que concurren nuevas pedagogias, ideales de la cultura arquitectonica colombiana, asi como programas de construccion para responder a aspectos sociales y culturales. Aborda la busqueda por armonizar el desarrollo pleno de las potencialidades del individuo, el respeto y cultivo de las subjetividades al tiempo que se promueve la armonia con el entorno y en la vida social, donde la construccion de ciudadania y de tejido social es comun tanto en los proyectos de caracter publico como en los de iniciativa privada. La gran cantidad de concursos publicos, tanto de indole publica como privada, ha facilitado dicha evolucion a partir de las propuestasde los arquitectos, influyendo asi en el replanteamiento de los aspectos tecnico-funcionales, pues mas alla de los curriculos aunque tambien favoreciendolos-, las estructuras espaciales, las urdimbres de las formas, los intersticios y los vacios, la relacion con el exterior y las relaciones entre las partes, muestran que el edificio escolar puede desbordar lo convencionalmente educativo. Los diferentes ejemplos estudiados permiten comprender que el espacio escolar no es un sitio en el que se recibe una preparacion para la vida, sino que es un espacio que es vivido y que por tanto da sentido a la experiencia.

Well over a hundred great churches were built in the cathedral tradition in the Middle Ages. They are our most important group of historical monuments and embody the finest craftwork of medieval architecture. Despite a great mass of specialist literature and research on other aspects, it was not until Cecil A. Hewetts work over the past three decades that any serious attention was paid to their functional carpentry or, indeed, to their decorative timberwork.Examining the entire range of great churches, Hewetts carefully reasoned and well-organised text covers all areas of monastic and cathedral carpentry, classifying roof structures, towers and spires in chronological order, while an important section deals with the surviving examples of hoisting machinery still in situ, some from a very early date. In English Cathedral and Monastic Carpentry, he relates the physical evidence to the documentary record supported with over 300 of his own magnificent drawings. In this, Hewett provides both a work of reference and a stimulating analysis of the evolution of the craft.
