archatlas:Architecture School Buildings from Around the WorldArchitecture schools and the students they house have a particularly unique and interesting building-user relationship. Architecture students value the buildings of their school not only for providing the valuable work space necessary for constructing studio projects but also as an example and model of a building in use. As the buildings are the places where students first learn how to read and understand architecture, design schools become full-scale teaching tools that help new designers grasp structure, details, how materials perform and interact, and so many of the other core concepts of architecture. While the scrutiny of students and faculty can be exhaustive, architects have embraced the challenge of creating engaging works of architecture that both suit the specific needs of a school and take on the pedagogical challenge of educating students by example.Melbourne School of Design University of Melbourne NADAAA + John Wardle Architects Melbourne VIC, AustraliaSchool of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology Tham & Videgård Arkitekter Stockholm, SwedenMcEwen School of Architecture LGA Architectural Partners Sudbury, ON, CanadaNantes School of Architecture Lacaton & Vassal Nantes, FranceAbedian School of Architecture CRAB Studio Queensland, AustraliaAustin E.
