This free book is hot off the press from UCL. I haven’t read it, and it doesn’t have much to do with education technology on the face of it, but it does sound very interesting. I suspect that the use of space in parliament buildings will hold some lessons for schools as well, so perhaps this will prove more relevant than the title suggests.

From the blurb:

Parliament Buildings brings together architecture, history, art history, history of political thought, sociology, behavioural psychology, anthropology and political science to raise a host of challenging questions. How do parliament buildings give physical form to norms and practices, to behaviours, rituals, identities and imaginaries? How are their spatial forms influenced by the political cultures they accommodate? What kinds of histories, politics and morphologies do the diverse European parliaments share, and how do their political trajectories intersect?
