Titolo: Mi potete aiutare, per favore?

In un libro che descrive il progetto architettonico di una scuola
superiore modello, ho isolato una serie di espressioni di cui non
riesco a trovare il corrispettivo italiano e vi sarei grato se poteste
aiutarmi:
*  "This school will not be offering vocational training ON VENUE, but
is to be a prototype school in using ICT..."
Cosa significa " on venue" ?
* Special design attention will be given to INFILL furnishings
Cosa significa "infill" ?
* Nel testo si parla in alcuni tratti di "building design" (che mi è
chiaro) ed in altri di "building PROGRAM". Ad esempio:
"The BUILDING PROGRAM" is approximately 1500 square meters gross area
and is intended for a total enrollment of 170 students.
Cosa potrebbe significare qui "building program" ?
* Ad un certo punto il testo propone un grafico delle varie aree in
cui sarà suddiviso l'edificio scolastico. A proposito di una di queste
leggo:
" TEACHER AS LEARNER Zone" - Teacher zone is active learning area with
OPEN LEARNING LANDSCAPE for teachers.
Cosa potrebbero significare "Teacher as Learner Zone" e "Open Learning
Landscape" ?
Mi scuso sin d'ora se ho abusato della vostra pazienza e vi ringrazio
in anticipo delle risposte che potrete darmi.
Un saluto da
Eugenio   		

 Cosa significa " on venue" ?
"in sede", credo.

ICT ?
ICT may stand for Information Computer Technology - but it's just a
guess.

It may stand for Information and Communication Technology - but it's

Aah ok, that's normally known here in NZ as IT for Information
Technology. The computer bit is a given.

ICT = Information and Communication Technology
I use this term to include telecommunications.

 Landscape" ?
"Centro di formazione permanente" per gli insegnanti? "Open learning
landsscape, non ho idea.

 I use this term to include telecommunications.
Right.
As I understand it, the Italian equivalent is telematica.

I understand ICT - Information and Communications Technology - in
school curriculum at any rate, to just be a new name for  IT/computer
studies that better reflects its content. It includes very basic
things like how to switch on a computer and use MS Office...
Is the school subject in Italy still called informatica or is it now
telematica? 


as the original document explains (see URL above):
"The Teacher-as-Learner Zone emphasizes the changing role of the
teacher to a coach. This zone is intended to be an area where teachers
are learning from each other in an open way and collaborating while
planning and preparing their courses."
"learning landscapes - or zones - .."

 telematica?
Informatica.

 telematica?
I've always translated it as informatica.

 have only one hit?)
I got about 3,300 results from this. If the search comes back with just a
single result, it is called a "Google whack" - coined by a man called Gary
Stock. I neither know who he is nor care!
If you place " " around the search query it doesn't count. So "infill
furnishings" returning just one result is not particularly surprising, and
infill furnishings (without the quotation marks) returns thousands.
Try searching for:     spellbinding oestrogen     (without quotation marks),
and you will google whack.
Want to do it again? Try:     stretchiest puffins     - the mind boggles.
On a more topical theme, try:     parsecs bolognese     (some people have
too much time on their hands).

So it's a term you made up? It would be better then to use its full
title, not just initials if its not a readily recognised acronym.

No, it's a very common abbreviation, at least in the UK.
