Series: World Issues in the Philosophy and Theory of Higher Education

Universities are primarily social institutions, but they are also physical, material structures. This book bridges this divide by examining the links between the two and explores how good connectivity can result in a more effective university.

Through an original study of connectivity in university design, Paul Temple explores what it is, why it’s important, and how it works. Using case studies and practical examples to examine the nature of social and material interactions, this book reviews what is known about connectivity and how it can be used to enhance academic effectiveness.

This book will be of interest to academics, students, and researchers interested in higher education theory and practice, the philosophy of higher education, and those working at the interface between higher education studies and architecture and design.
