Excellent- More about Building Children's Worlds: The Representation of Architecture and Modernity in Picturebooks
Children are the future architects, clients, and users of our buildings, and the architectural worlds they are exposed to in picturebooks during their formative years may influence how they regard such architecture as adults. This book explores how modern architecture is used to construct specific narratives of childhood, support negative narratives of alienation and isolation, or promote positive narratives of happiness and community. It also examines how images of modern architecture support ideas of community, family values, and diversity, and how the use of architecture in comic strips or the presence of specific kinds of buildings in fiction aimed at younger adults may be related to the groundwork laid in picturebooks for younger readers.

Children, the future architects, clients, and users of our buildings, are greatly influenced by the architectural worlds they encounter in picturebooks during their formative years. These early exposures shape their perception and appreciation of architecture as adults.
Contemporary urban environments worldwide serve as a testament to the diverse stages of modernism in architecture. This book explores that history through the lens of picturebooks, examining the ways in which they construct national identities and histories.
Twelve expert essays from international scholars delve into pressing questions such as:
Is modern architecture employed to convey specific narratives of childhood?
Do images of modern architecture promote notions of community, family values, and diversity?
How do comic strips and fiction aimed at younger adults contribute to the groundwork laid in picturebooks for younger readers?
This book uncovers the stories told about modern architecture and explores how these stories shape future attitudes and expectations towards the built environment. It sheds light on the powerful influence of early visual experiences on shaping our perception and understanding of architecture.
