Research And Practice On Children's Architectural Game Installations

In the process of children's growth,children's games play an irreplaceable role;Among them,children's architectural games represented by "putting up building blocks and playing house" are an important category,which helps to promote children's cognitive development,spatial imagination,practical ability,language expression ability and cognition of social relationship.Children's architectural game installation combining the two provides a full scale spatial cognition and interactive game,which is one of the important ways in modern children's education.The key point of children's architectural game is the architectural game installation itself.The designer's ideas on the form,symbolic shape,structural logic,three-dimensional space,combination diversity and complexity,assumption to interactive assist and safety guidance and other aspects of architectural game installation directly determine the experience and effect of architectural game.Architectural game installation has properties that are highly similar to architectural model,and when designing architectural game installation,it is necessary to have a very strong predictability of how children play architectural game.With the development and evolution of children's architectural games,more architects are involved in the design practice,and children's architectural game installations are becoming more and more abundant in the exploration of forms,scales and themes.So far at home and abroad,the existing research and practice record on children's architectural installation,however,is limited.So I relies on the children's architectural game institution start-up that founded by me,through detailed theoretical researching,case studying,designing,production and explored different scales and themes.In this paper,several typical architectural game installations are selected for detailed application analysis,and finally the design strategy system is summarized,so as to provide more experience feedback for relevant insiders,to develop ideas and promote the birth of more excellent architectural game installations for children.Based on the above points,the research content of this paper will be carried out from the following aspects:The first part is the theoretical research background of children's architectural game,playground,architectural model and other related theories.Clarify children architectural games,children's game space,the construction level and other concepts or factors,and analysis development trends of children's architectural game installation,to explore the way of guiding children's creative thinking,discusses theinspiration from architectural model method,provide background support for subsequent architectural game installation design.The second part describes and studies the design cases of children's architectural education and children's architectural games at home and abroad.Summarize the characteristics of children's architectural education,architectural game installation and problems to be improved,and provide experience and inspiration for the design of subsequent architectural game installation.The third part,on the basis of theoretical research and case study analysis,details the design of a highly engineered game installation as wooden house building,records and analyzes the practice process;Focuses on the architectural game process from the wooden house installation,reveals the design points of the installation.The fourth part describes the design of a highly free architectural game installation for children,records and analyzes the practice process.This paper focuses on the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the design characteristics of the mortise and tenon panel installation.In the fifth part,based on the design practice of several other architectural game installations of the author's team,the possibility of in-depth application and complex evolution in different scales and themes is explored.To summarize the author's constructive experience and strategies in the design of the above-mentioned five architectural game installations,and to try to build the design strategy system of architectural game installation.
