A Slow Construction Project: Nineteenth Century School Architecture through Universal Expositions
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article aims to provide an updated overview on the developments in national school architecture during the early post-unification period through the highly heuristic perspective of universal expositions. These events represented a unique opportunity for the participating nations to assimilate—through observation—innovative and effective aspects of educational systems, pedagogical practices, and architectural spaces.The analysis is drawn primarily from the Italian delegates’ reports—retrieved from the Library of the former Ministry of Industry, Handicrafts, and Commerce—, intended to enrich the current reflection on this subject, offering new insights and an updated bibliographic reference for further scholarly inquiry.
