Childhood is undergoing a revolution. The philosophy of bringing up
children as separate from adults is a thing of the past. In
pre-schools, more and more attention is being paid to designing
spaces that accommodate the very young and meet their needs in a
way that fosters dialogue and communication. When it comes to home
life, busy parents want to spend free time with their children that
they will both enjoy. Children are no longer just tagging along and
fitting in, they are being provided for with spaces that are
stimulating, fun, imaginative, peaceful, or just plain practical.
Children are no longer adults in waiting - they have their own
culture, and contemporary children's interiors are very much about
defining the way childhood is being designed in the twenty-first
century.
This book showcases a wide variety of interiors designed for the
very young from around the world. These range from creches,
nurseries and preschools, to museums, restaurants, bedrooms,
playspaces, shops and hotels. Each architect or designer has given
considerable thought to making their space - whether public or
private - workable and beautiful, and their approaches are
inspirational. If you are looking for design ideas, or just want
somewhere great to take your child at the weekend, this is the book
for you.
