    Placemaking Practice: Transforming Classrooms from the Inside Out – the Critical Role of Spatial Literacy
    Fisher, K (Council for Education Facility Planners International (CEFPI), 2004)
    For decades CEFPI, the OECD Program on Educational Building, the Schools Learning Laboratory and other related organisations have pursued transformative approaches to the planning and design learning environments to suit contemporary perceptions of learning. Yet these attempted paradigm shifts are predominantly applied by spatial practitioners 'from the outside-in'. The end recipient of these efforts, that is, the classroom teacher and his or her students, generally have little say in how their learning environments might be constructed to better serve their learning needs. This presentation will briefly explore creative pedagogical practices (resource-, problem- and project-based learning, active learning, students as researchers) and the flexibility of the curriculum framework to suggest how multiple literacies in students might be actively engaged in their daily learning lives in placemaking. In particular the development of spatial literacies augmented through spatially oriented pedagogical and curriculum development practices applied to the very classrooms in which students engage in an action-based 'pedagogy of architectural encounters' will be explored. Three case studies (one primary, two secondary) will be used to illustrate the idea of learning geographies to assess its worth in schools design. The presentation will examine how teacher professional development is fundamental to any cultural change or school transformation in parallel with school design innovations. Further, it is hoped that this paper will demonstrate an 'inside-out' transformative placemaking practice which will foster change from within the classroom, rather than being imposed from without.

    Hitler and Germanentum
    Mees, B (SAGE Publications, 2004-04)
    This article investigates the concept of Germanentum (Germanicness) in nazi Germany in light of the use of a similar concept, romanità (Romanness) in fascist Italy, and of Hitler’s response to German antiquity enthusiasts. Rather than the dismissive attitude often cited by historians, this article shows that Hitler accepted many aspects of the cult of Germanicness, but in keeping with his early wish to distance the Nazi Party from some sections of the old radical right, as well as his obvious philhellenism, chose to see Germanicness as part of a broader Aryan antiquarian model which had been developed by an antiquarian Grub Street, a model that embraced Graeco-Roman antiquity as part of German culture and history.

    Changchun: Unfinished capital planning of Manzhouguo, 1932-42
    Guo, QH (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2004-05-01)
    The rise and decline of Changchun is examined focusing on its urban character in terms of symbolic identity and built form. Based on an analysis of physical characteristics of the urban fabric and architectural forms of the state buildings, the study explores and identifies the ideological underpinnings of city planning and the methodological sources of architectural design to understand how the city was shaped and why.
