Abstract

The different designed elements have been created for making spontaneous every situation experienced in this place. Every shape, figure and element in the designed space has been selected in order to arouse curiosity and build creativity in children, both cornerstones of the educational process. At ARCO, the children have fun while learning. The design concept is based on the nature, this ensures a homely and free environment where children do not feel limited.
