Architectural Approach to Design Functional and Aesthetic Environments for Children
The architectural design of children’s institutions, such as preschools and daycare centers, plays a critical role in fostering safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environments. This study explores innovative approaches to integrating visual and technological tools into the design process to enhance functionality and creativity. Traditional design principles often overlook the dynamic needs of modern educational spaces, creating a knowledge gap in addressing evolving social, ergonomic, and ecological demands. The research employs a comparative analysis of case studies, focusing on international examples such as the sensory design in Japan's Misoba Kindergarten, multifunctional spaces in Germany's Ludwigsburg Kindergarten, and sustainable approaches in Austria's Kematen preschool. Key architectural methods include spatial zoning for functional integration, ergonomic considerations, and the incorporation of nature-inspired elements using digital tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM). Findings reveal that innovative use of sensory spaces, natural materials, and dynamic zoning creates environments that support holistic child development. For instance, circular layouts encourage free movement, while biophilic designs enhance emotional well-being. The results underscore the importance of tailoring designs to local cultural and environmental contexts while leveraging technological tools for flexibility and precision. Implications of the study highlight the potential for architects to rethink conventional typologies, creating adaptive spaces that prioritize safety, engagement, and sustainability. This research contributes to bridging the knowledge gap in architectural practices for children’s institutions, offering insights into innovative methods that balance aesthetics, functionality, and ecological responsibility.
