Symposium continues from 17 SES 12
Contribution
Recently the Danish field of Secondary Schools has experienced a rise in awareness of the significance of school buildings and their design. A development established already in the Danish field of Primary Schools (de Coninck-Smith 2011), and could one add, in the European politics of education emanating from transnational institutions as UNESCO (Delors 1996, Prinds 1999) and CERI (1997) from the 90’s onwards. Dozens of publications were written on the designing of modern school buildings, all of them concerned with how to radically change existing school cultures through reframing the way we think school buildings and their functioning. The paper aims to provide an understanding of the production of – and as such the content of – these ideas, and how the ideas travel across borders and intersect with local interest and professional competency and hereby produce an ideologically based local output. Ultimately the concern of the study is to understand the relation between everyday schooling and educational policy aiming towards ‘designing the future’ as ideological. Theoretically, the paper subscribes to a Roland Barthes inspired notion of mythical language and its functioning (Barthes 2000), and hereby constructs the objective of the paper as the mythical production of modern learning environments.
