Résumé

A comprehensive design section in this book sets out the parameters and technical properties in kindergarten design as well as introducing components and functional considerations. It contains a selection of 26 kindergarten case studies, each a successful rendering of the qualities that create ideal spaces for children, combined with innovative architectural practices; spaces which are safe and calming while at the same time capable of stimulating a child's interest, with materials that absorb noise as well as cushioning the inevitable fall! With attractive full-colour photographs and in-depth explanations, this is a unique and inspiring resource for designers and students alike.
