Description

Explore the pivotal role of childhood architecture in postwar reconstruction between 1935 and 1959, when designing for children became central to architectural discourse. This scholarly work examines seminal projects including the Secondary Modern School at Hunstanton by Peter and Alison Smithson, Le Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation at Marseilles, and Aldo van Eyck's innovative playgrounds and orphanage designs. Discover how architects at CIAM utilised photographs of children to present their visions for urban reconstruction and societal rebuilding. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Studies in Architecture series, this book provides essential insight into how the modernist movement shaped spaces for the youngest members of society and influenced broader architectural thinking during Europe's transformative postwar era.
