This research, which I developed throughout the last year of my Bachelor's, tries to observe and understand the attempts to introduce innovative design approaches to the Italian preschool education system.
In particular, the benefits of open, flexible and child-centred spaces have been analyzed by proposing new learning environments for the early childhood development apparatus, trying to establish a new connection between architecture and pedagogy.
I declare that this thesis ‘Beyond the Classroom’ is entirely my own work and that where any material could be construed as the work of others, it is fully cited and referenced, and/or with appropriate acknowledgement given.
