Environment for Children

I took great inspiration from Christopher Day’s book, Environment for Children, on architecture and spaces for children and his work on designing Waldorf kindergartens.

My design ideas

• zero carbon
• community hub
• low-cost/gifted space
• permaculture gardening
• kindergarten space redesign
• proposed design consultation: consensus design day
