some thoughts about architecture for children and educators

architecture for children does not exist. buildings should be designed to anticipate children as small adults. rooms supporting development should be provided.

different geometric structures shall provide children with stimulations in order to support their development in a most creative way.

this design shall follow the principle of placing geometric shapes and smooth, functional colours in all functional areas in order to create a three dimensional structure embedded in the environment.

a main goal is a strict design in all areas stressing different functional areas. the classification of each area and zone should follow an outside-in scope to be easy to anticipate.

we do not want to focus on required functions only by too static and too unmodifiable design but stimulate the intellectual spheres of the human mind. the building should never be percept as isolated structure but be embedded within the surrounding and landscape.
