Good design evinces a sensitivity to its users and their needs, often reimagining the user experiences of a given space to promote beauty and delight; nowhere is this sensitivity more essential than in designing for the youngest and most impressionable members of our societies. From birth and infancy through to adolescence and even early adulthood, the spaces we — by choice or not — place our children in or subject our youth to inherently structure their formative experiences of the world. We can come to think of design as an act of care, and consider how design and its related processes can form part of the responsibility of care we have towards the younger generation, whether intentionally or inadvertently designing for children.

From 1977 to 1983, the National Theatre in Prague underwent a major transformation with the opening of Nová Scéna, a modern counterpart to the traditional Neo-Renaissance theatre. For many years, Nová Scéna hosted the renowned Laterna Magika, the world’s first multimedia theatre. This groundbreaking performance style combined classical theatre with computer-generated visual effects, creating a unique dramatic experience. The striking glass building, a symbol of the communist era, became an iconic representation of the political power of the time. In recognition of its significance, this building was part of the Open House Prague festival in 2024—an annual event that invites the public to explore and appreciate the value of architecture.

It may not be your first instinct when entering a building to consider how it makes you feel, but architecture has always had a big impact on emotions. Different spaces are designed to make its inhabitants feel different things; offices can make you feel energised and productive, art galleries can make you feel thoughtful and curious, and museums can make you feel calm and intrigued. Each of these spaces are completely different from each other and are far more than just a building.
