About the Journal


Focus and Scope

The children’s relationship with their educational spaces as well as with their urban environment suggests a particular challenge to the conditions of contemporary everyday life. The child-centered approach to living and learning gradually becomes more complex, moving towards a balanced yet polyvalently, polysemously and diversely dialectic, experiential and hands-on relationship with its environment, thus inviting architecture and pedagogy to take action and provide answers. This approach offers new possibilities to the imperative call of our times for reappraisal and for a reflective study on the children’s educational conditions whichcontribute to the creation of active citizens who are capable of critical thinking, collaborative activities, social awareness and attentiveness to the collective interest.
