Dialogues with Places (2nd Edition)

"Every place has its own soul, and identity; trying to discover it and establish a relation with it means learning to recognize one’s own soul. Children in Reggio Emilia’s infant-toddler centres and preschools explored the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre while it was a building site, they chose a space they found interesting and designed a work, a gift in harmony and in dialogue with the selected place. The environment as the third teacher is not an abstract metaphor, but a daily practice that requires the courage to persistently produce projects starting from the children." — Foreword excerpt by Maddalena Tedeschi Curated by Tiziana Filippini, Claudia Giudici, Vea Vecchi Reggio Children, Italy, 2007 (new edition printed April 2026); illus., softbound, 212 pages Dimensions: 12.5 x 9.25 x 0.5 in
