1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental psychology strives towards better environments, discovering the factors of well-being and providing designers with information that they need about people’s needs and perceptions.
One of the pioneers of real world work with children, Roger Hart (1997) had said that children’s daily lives are complex, unique and inherently spatial. Architecture must strive to go beyond just being functional. The more richer and stylish it gets, it encourages meaningful social interactions (Dudek, 2005).po
Childhood experiences of place and space are essential to the child’s cognitive and social growth and their (independent) exploration is closely linked to the development of both self-concept and identity. Design elements of the physical …show more content…
What are children’s perception of built environment?
2. How do various spatial properties affect children?
3. What are the architectural consideration to be kept in mind while designing child care environments?
1.2 AIM OF THE STUDY
The aim of the study is to understand the perception of built environment by children.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
• To understand the perception of built environment by children.
• To understand the importance of spatial properties in children’s environments.
• To understand the impact of colour on children.
• To derive the perfect milieu for children’s environments
1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
• The scope of the project is limited to child care environment and its spatial properties.
• It shall not include study of children in learning environments.
• The study shall not look into hospital environments for children.
1.5 RELEVANCE OF THE PROJECT
When creating environments for children, adults inevitably face the question of scale and children’s reaction to colour in the environment. How high or wide should rooms be to instill a feeling of security and a sense of being sheltered? What colours will promote co-operative
