How can young children play an active role in developing the design
of learning environments? What methods can be used to bring
together children's and practitioners' views about their
environment? What insights can young children offer into good
designs for these children's spaces? With the expansion of early
childhood education and the move to 'extended schools', more young
children will spend more time than ever before in institutions.
Based on two actual building projects, this book is the first of
its kind to demonstrate the possibilities of including young
children's perspectives in the design and review of children's
spaces. Situated at the heart of the debate about the relationship
between the built environment and its impact on children's learning
and wellbeing, Transforming Children's Spaces provides insights
into how young children see their environment discusses children's
aspirations for future spaces develops the 'Mosaic approach' ,
pioneered by the author, as a method for listening to young
children and adults Emphasising the importance of visual and verbal
methods of communication, this fascinating book demonstrates how
practitioners and young children can articulate their perspectives,
and shows how participatory methods can support new relationships
between children, practitioners and architects. This book is
essential reading for those who work in children's spaces and for
those who design them as well as being of general interest to those
studying education and childhood studies.
