Explores architectural considerations in the design of buildings for children by studying youth-oriented museum environments. Focuses on four key elements that embody the idea of play: multisensory issues, space-body relationships, juxtaposition of scales and spatial variety, and appeal to adults and children. Interviews architects, directors of children's museums, exhibit designers, and a child psychologist. Researched and written by Jawaid Haider, Penn State. Produced by Penn State Television / WPSX-TV.
