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 *new images coming soon... the book is no longer spiral bound, it is perfect bound
