Maja Lorbek: book proposal and manuscript

The book investigates design, regulation and technology in post-war school construction. The history of the UIA School Buildings Commission from 1951 to 1979 is complemented by an exploration of UNESCO’s technical assistance programme in Yugoslavia (1953-1958), the impact of OECD educational planning on school building strategies in Yugoslavia and Austria in the 1960s, and a discussion of modular coordination in school design using case studies from Mexico, Morocco, the GDR, Switzerland, Austria and Yugoslavia. The epilogue reflects on the main lessons of internationalist approaches to school building and educational planning, considering the implications for contemporary educational spaces. By adopting a transnational history approach and using visual methods, the book tracks the intersection of 19th-century mass education traditions with the concepts of prewar New Education and the 1960s manpower planning. This book argues that the architects of the internationalist school building, while acknowledging the educational ideals of their time, developed an autonomous approach – using regulation, standardisation, prefabrication and multifunctional design – to create a surplus of non-iconic, adaptable and cost-efficient educational spaces around the world.
