Spaces for Young Children

By Mark Dudek (National Children's Bureau, 15.99, ISBN 9781907969959)

Architect Mark Dudek aims to 'provide early years professionals with the power to create the right buildings for young children so as to give each one of them a good start'. It examines why architecture is important and what aspects are key for young children.

As well as an investigation into the aesthetics of buildings, there is also a practical guide to what's involved in commissioning a new building. The reader is carried through every stage of the process - from appraisal and design brief to construction and completion. A final recommendation is that design should be a continuing process, with early years spaces evolving and changing just as family homes do.
