Background information
You are invited to join a discussion on the application of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles in schools at a webinar hosted by the International CPTED Association (ICA).
The ICA has developed a CPTED guide for schools describing an integrative approach that considers the physical, social and psycho-emotional environments. This is referred to as the “Comprehensive Approach”. The discussions will focus on this approach and the opportunities to apply it in settings beyond the school environment. The aim is to promote the notion that CPTED could be enhanced through interventions that focus on aspects related to, for instance, physical and mental health, self-realization etc.
Topics
Topics to be discussed include the following:
-
The nature of the physical, social and psycho-emotional environments in relation to CPTED.
-
The “Comprehensive Approach” as described in the “CPTED in schools” guide.
-
Applying the “Comprehensive Approach” in various settings – practical examples.
***
We call for your inputs and views on the above and encourage you to mention if you have something to share on the topic. You may share your thoughts in the Questions & Comments section when you register. Alternatively, you can also email questions/comments to us or post them in the comment box during the live webinar session.
The webinar will be presented in English.
We look forward to connecting with you!

RENE BERNDT
ICA Director
Rene Berndt, AIA LEED AP, Associate Principal at Mahlum Architects, has 25 years of architectural experience and extensive knowledge of learning environments tailored to the specific social-emotional needs of each age group. Rene is an active member of the “Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) SW Washington / Oregon – USA Chapter and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) – Portland Chapter. He served in the past on the board of Directors of the AIA Monterey Bay Chapter and the A4LE SW Washington / Oregon Chapter.
Rene is very interested in the specific needs of the learner at each developmental stage and how these needs differ between early childcare, elementary, middle or high school students. In the last decade he has become concerned that strategies with the goal of providing safety in schools have instead increased anxiety, fear and conditions that could foster bullying, vandalism and social isolation. To counter this trend, Rene is promoting the CPTED Defensible Space tenets and aims to provide learning environments that foster positive social relationships.
Rene enjoys sharing his work and research at conferences and workshops, both locally and internationally. His work has been featured in numerous design publications, including Architectural Record, and has been recognized with diverse regional, national and international design awards.
Rene was elected as Director on the International CPTED Association Board of Directors in 2019
