Designing for children is certainly not child's play. While adults lead the design process, the end-users are often children, as seen in kindergartens, schools, and parks. Architects have the responsibility to create built environments that provide children with opportunities to play, explore, and learn, even in today's digital age.
In educational environments, adapted architecture plays a crucial role in shaping how children learn and interact with their surroundings. Adapted furniture, designed specifically for young learners, ensures that each child can engage comfortably with their space. Adjustable chairs, low tables, and modular designs encourage independence while fostering a sense of ownership over their learning. These elements are complemented by the use of soft materials, like cushions and rugs, which provide safe and comfortable zones for relaxation and informal learning moments.
