Abstract
The aim that Hendricks addresses in this book is to provide a guiding manuscript for designers and decision makers on how to perceive the children play spaces. The author explicitly focused throughout the book on presenting methods of design, which tie the free thoughts, and imagination of the children with the built environment they engaged with. These design methods are expected to add to the architects, designers, and decision makers a new valuable approach of how to increase the quality of play spaces to suit children joy and freedom. Due to her ‘hands on’ experience as a play spaces designer, Barbara Hendricks in this book strongly attempts to relate the child behavior development with responsible key design decisions. This reflects the necessity to appreciate, understand, and grasp the children’s indirect input within the design process of play spaces. Throughout the book, the chapters are enriched by illustrations that provide diverse examples, simplifying the ideas presented comprehensively; these ideas are also emphasized through text boxes to draw the attention of the reader towards key issues and important statements.
