Von der hinteren Coverseite

"An impressive collection on an important topic. Crossing design and planning, this engaging volume brings together a number of different approaches to service-learning theoretically, by field, and in the scale of the activities in space and time. This makes it useful and important reading for both those starting off in the field of community-based education and old hands interested in critically reflecting on their past practice."
Ann Forsyth, Professor of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University

"This collection has its roots in the ideas of education theorists such as Dewey, Bruner, and Freire, all of whom advocate for the importance of experiential learning. The authors individually and collectively advance the idea of service-learning to community participation and social action. Consequently, this book not only challenges conventional thinking about education and practice but also illustrates a variety of successful off-the-shelf approaches. Design and planning educators and practitioners will find it to be a valuable companion in support of identifying directions for the future."
Henry Sanoff, Professor Emeritus of Architecture, ACSA/Alumni Distinguished Professor, North Carolina State University

"An invaluable new resource for faculty engaged in interdisciplinary action research aimed at building more vibrant, sustainable, and just neighborhoods, communities, and regions through inspired physical design."
Kenneth M. Reardon, Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in City and Regional Planning, University of Memphis

The time is ripe for advancing a solid service-learning pedagogy in architecture, landscape architecture, and planning. Over several decades of innovation, experimentation, and trial and error, each of these design disciplines has spawned new and critical theory, linking professional work and social change. The wisdom of the twenty-nine leaders in service-learning within this volume provides a collective leap forward that benefits us all students, teachers, designers, and the general public.
Bryan Bell, Founder, Design Corps; author, Expanding Architecture: Design as Activism and Good Deeds Good Design: Community Service through Architecture
