C3 Special - Space for Kids - Familiarizing Adventure

“Designing environments for educating young children is a fascinating endeavour,” writes Isabel Potworowski in this specially themed issue. “Through them, they are guided in their discovery of the world.” Touching on key aspects such as learning through play, spatial strategies for engaging curiosity, differentiated activity zones, a home base, a domestic scale, and a protective exterior, the magazine presents sixteen exemplary, often colourful projects by a diverse range of architects. These include Assemble + Simon Terrill’s Brutalist Playground, Clover House Kindergarten by MAD Architects, and a Nursery and Primary School in Saint-Denis by Paul Le Quernec.
