Abstract Details

2007, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
Educational psychology has changed and diversified in the last 100 years. This diversity of information is manifested in children’s television, children’s books, games, and toys, but not yet in the majority of America’s elementary school buildings. This thesis explores the question of a cohesive, appropriate contemporary design sensibility through examination of many types of children’s designs for learning and for play, including Sesame Street, Blue’s Clues, Froebel Blocks, Montessori Red/Blue Rods, and COSI (children’s science museum); as well as research on school design trends. The companion architectural project is a 300-400 child K-4 elementary school facilityin Pickerington, Ohio, a growing suburb of Columbus, formerly primarily an agricultural community, which will address issues facing suburban public schools and school design trends while utilizing guidelines for children’s design culled from analyzing the above listed products.
