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.
