    Effects of pre-school architectural characteristics on the growth of children
    (Department of Integrated Design, University of Moratuwa, 2024) De Saram, SA; Tirimanne, S; Samarasinghe, AM
    This paper investigates the effect of preschool’s architectural characteristics on the growth of children. Children aged 1-5 years show rapid development in their cognitive development, social and emotional development, health and physical development, and language and early literacy. Therefore, the environment they stay in has a huge influence on this growth. Brain development at this stage has a significant effect on a child's ability for learning and achievement in life. Preschool is the place where they gain their basic education. Therefore, the preschool environment has a vast influence on the growth of children. The study of the architectural characteristics of a preschool is divided into three main parts: special arrangement, colours and lighting, and sustainable design methods. And then the influence of these factors is linked with the growth of children.
