Features: Today, we recognize that the information children receive through their senses is crucial for their future development. Various psychological studies are exploring the impact of architecture on children's behavior. Therefore, architects have a responsibility to pay attention to educational issues and apply them to the design of buildings and facilities. The architects of the projects included in this book, under the guidance of educators and other experts, have found a way to meet all the specific requirements of the owners, both functional and aesthetic, to design real spaces for children. These requirements, like spatial allocation, include both design and construction aspects. What is most important is the strict yet creative selection of materials to fully ensure the safety of the users of these facilities. The detailed appendix on outdoor activity spaces, compiled by Günter Biltz, is a design expert specializing in buildings and spaces for children and a collaborator of various relevant magazines. He provides comprehensive and carefully selected international project examples.
