Practical instructions for dreaming about school. Interview with Beate Weyland

Abstract

From the very first reflections on how to structure this issue of FAM, the need arose to talk about school architecture while also talking about something else, another thing, which, in truth, has existed for too long and perhaps has an air of guilt about it. In the case of this interview, then, considering that this other thing means pedagogy, architecture’s guilt in having omitted the discipline which is the protagonist of scholastic processes emerges in an even sharper light. It is in an attempt to mend the relationship between architectural and pedagogical disciplines that we are including this interview with Beate Weyland, a Professor of Educational Sciences at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, and long committed to deepening and developing shared design processes through which to maieutically lead participants towards an awareness which makes them active in building their own “dream school”.
