IN THIS CHAPTER
The environment fits the kid’s rather than the adults’ esthetics
‘Keep in mind that the kids’ areas will be used by children who like to jump on top of things, play, make messes etc. The danger is that the adults compromise that the facilities lose what is functional for children simply to appeal to adult’s aesthetics. In doing so it reproduces a sense of claustrophobic niceness that inhibits children’s freedom everywhere.’ Summerhill School book
