SCOTLAND ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF UNIQUE INTERNATIONAL AWARD TO PROMOTE ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN FOR CHILDREN AGED 0-18

摘要

Scotland's role in developing and promoting good architecture and design for children and young people was spotlighted with the launch in March of the 'Making Space 2010', an international award and conference to promote and support innovation, creativity and sustainability in design for children and young people aged 0-18, and to acknowledge the involvement of children and young people themselves in these processes. The new international award - the first of its kind to include spaces for those aged from 0 up to 18 years - follows the success of the initial 'Making Space' award for children aged 0-10 years, held in 2005. 'Making Space 2010' will again involve Children in Scotland working in partnership with the Scottish Government, and the OECD's Centre for Effective Learning Environments (CELE) to further explore the design agenda, with Scotland playing host to a two-day conference and the international award, which will showcase Scotland as a centre for design innovation.
