Dudek is the founder and principal of Mark Dudek Architects, established in London in 1991 with considerable expertise in the design of schools and children’s centres[1]. His built projects include The Glasshouse Café for the Royal Horticultural Society in Surrey, The Nursery and School for Children with Learning Difficulties at Wyndham, Richmond upon Thames and The Cloughjordan Heritage Centre and Thomas MacDonagh’s Home in the Irish Republic. He has been key-note speaker at over fifty conferences all-over the world on the subject of schools and children’s spaces, and was a Research Fellow at the School of Architecture, University of Sheffield between 2002 and 2012 [4]. He has written a number of influential books on school buildings and children’s urban culture[2]. Dudek's research is recognized as having provided some of the strongest evidence of the links between architectural space, pedagogy and positive educational outcomes.[3]Selected Publications, Books:
