Oči su slijepe. Treba tražiti srcem.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Dok je dijete još uvijek dijete, ima prekrasnu privilegiju otkrivati
svijet širom otvorenih očiju ili, točnije, ne samo otvorenih očiju već otvorena srca, bez predrasuda, bez unaprijed postavljenih očekivanja. Djeca imaju maštu, ono što ne razumiju ili ne poznaju otkrivaju maštom i igrom. S tom mišlju na umu mogli bismo se zapitati kako djeca doživljavaju prostor i arhitekturu oko sebe. Taj prostor zasigurno nije dječji, njihovo "mjerilo"; njihova "perspektiva" zasigurno nije ona odraslog čovjeka. Ona tako izgubljena u svijetu "pogrešnog mjerila", poput Alice u Zemlji čudesa, spoznaju i stvaraju prostorne odnose. To, dakako, nikako ne znači da bi arhitektura za djecu morala biti "dječja", niti u svojoj slikovitosti niti u simplificiranosti. Upravo mašta i sloboda čine djecu daleko zahtjevnijim i kvalitetnijim konzumentima
arhitekture nego što su to prosječni nemaštoviti "odrasli". Stoga je veća i radost, ali i odgovornost arhitekata koji uđu u to "čudnovato" područje.

The eyes are blind. One must look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

While a child is still a child, it has the beautiful privilege of discovering the world with its eyes open or, to be precise, not only the eyes but also the heart, without prejudice or expectations
being set in advance. Children have imagination. What they don’t understand or know they discover through imagination
and play. With that in mind, we could ask ourselves how children perceive the space and architecture around them. That space is definitely not that of children. Their "measure", their "perspective" is definitely not that of a grown man. Lost in the world of "incorrect scale" like Alice in Wonderland, they comprehend and create spatial relations. This of course does not mean that architecture for children should be childlike, in its picturesqueness or in its simplification. It is their imagination and freedom that makes children much more demanding and better quality consumers of architecture than the average unimaginative adult. The joy is therefore bigger, as well as the responsibility of the architects who enter this "curious" area.
