El Movimiento Moderno y su influencia en la revolución de diseño del espacio infantil

Abstract

The break of the 19th and 20th centuries is a very significant time for the evolution of children's interior design, making emphasis on decoration and appreciation of beauty from an early age. In the twentieth century the interest in childhood and children has increased exponentially, in addition to the social, functional and technological innovations of the Modern Movement, which cause a revolution in children's design and architecture. For the present study, some of the most iconic houses and villas of the Modern Movement were selected and analyzed, with the aim of understanding the relationships between the children's space, its inhabitant and the context, taking into account the morphological and functional aspects that determine the meaning of habitability. All these buildings, very representative of their time, are characterized by being single-family homes, which have been built between the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century and have revolutionary and innovative children's spaces. At first, it is proposed to build a cartography of spaces for children's use within the aforementioned homes. Subsequently, zoning and spatial interrelation schemes are developed to identify the area for the exclusive use of the child inhabitant and areas of social interaction. In addition to an analysis of the atmosphere and elements that make up the interior space, thus determining the influence of the factors contextual as well as innovations and changes typical of the Modern Movement in architecture .
