This chapter suggests that design patternsDesign pattern are a valuable way to share complex design knowledge about student-schoolSchool interactions. It builds on prior work suggesting that design patterns, in a pattern language, are able to cross disciplinary boundaries and do work for design and education practitioners. It applies design patterns in an example of salutogenic (health promoting) design of vertical schoolsVertical school where research needed translating into actionable knowledge. Vertical schools are schools that go up rather than out, typically found in urban areas. The chapter provides a case study in initiating a pattern language, a set of design patterns, following a three-year participatory study of students in vertical schools in an Australian context. It describes the process of creating the patterns, their utility, the theory behind their efficacy, and the proposed value of design patternsDesign pattern more broadly within human-building interactionHuman-building interaction (HBI). It contributes a set of five design patterns for salutogenic student-schoolSchool interactions.
