Description

Explore a unique period in architectural history with The Architectures of Childhood. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Studies in Architecture, this book examines how the design of spaces for children sat at the center of architectural discourse between 1935 and 1959. This work examines how postwar reconstruction in England utilized the presence of children to shape new visions for built environments. You will learn about seminal projects that defined this era, including the Secondary Modern School at Hunstanton by Peter and Alison Smithson, Le Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation at Marseilles, and the playgrounds and orphanages designed by Aldo van Eyck. Through the study of CIAM and the use of photography, this text provides a deep look at the unprecedented visibility of the child within architectural planning. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in landscape architecture, postwar history, and the social impact of design.
