Kindergarten Architecture

by Mark Dudek

"Kindergarten Architecture provides guidance for designers, educationalists and client bodies involved in the most important aspects of pre-school nursery design. It illustrates the major issues through key historical and contemporary kindergartens and demonstrates the practical way in which these ideas can be incorporated into new buildings." "The author also addresses important philosophical questions: should a kindergarten be designed as a 'home from home' or can more radical architectural forms be adopted? What spaces should the modern nursery school have? What symbolic significance do they have to young children? What special details should be considered to enhance the learning environment?"--BOOK JACKET.
