In these discussions, the intention is not to address “best practices for designing child-friendly spaces”, no “guidelines in psychology of children”, no “gender-neutral space dialogue”, no “gender spaces and the sexualisation of young people”, no “children’s politics”… and so on.

The starting point is “Haus am Horn” (Bauhaus, 1923), built in between two World Wars, analysing Alma Siedhoff-Buscher children’s furniture designs and work. Using a case study that may represent an early instance of cabinetry designed by architects in relation to child play within a domestic environment. This is taken as a point of experimentation, to be tested and challenged through theoretical propositions, dialogue with AI, and the evaluation of potential outcomes.
