For architects: Designing a safer space for children
Architects are the masterminds behind every building. It is part of their role to plan and design a building, but the thinking process goes beyond just that. Every relevant aspect must be taken into consideration from beginning to end and this includes proposing ideas, advising clients, and working together with contractors.
When it comes to building educational spaces such as kindergartens, there should be a good balance between aesthetics and safety. Of course, both the client and the architect want to have and produce a nice-looking building, but a nice-looking building does not mean that it cannot be a safe building.
There is a broad range of safety equipment that should be installed in schools. In the Netherlands, it is required for kindergartens to install door finger protection at schools in order to protect kids from finger entrapment injuries. Other solutions such as corner protectors for walls are highly recommended as well. Nevertheless, some architects are not necessarily “fond” of how these safety products look. They may not be the most aesthetically pleasing product. But it is important to install them anyway! These products cannot be ignored in an environment where children play and grow.
