En mittpunkt för aktivitet : En studie om utformningen av ett multifunktionellt förskolerum

Sammanfattning: This thesis is a study on how to design a multipurpose preschool room, where the  organization and structure of the room communicates its functions and purpose. The purpose with the study is to design a room that can be a tool for the preschool teachers and that helps children develop their curiosity and learning skills. The specific case takes place at Krongatan preschool in Eskilstuna. The study evolves around theories about form, colour, light and how it can be used in the design of a multipurpose preschool environment. The study also includes theories about affordance, design principals, spatial elements and organization of preschool environments. Empirical data has been collected through interviews, spatial analysis and observations. The theories together with the collected empiric data have resulted in a design proposal. The proposed design consists of spatial elements to make the environment legible and create an environment that invites to different activities.
