ABSTRACT

‘Wouldn't it give us pleasure to see a string of meaningful details in a children's world? Things that admittedly serve trivial purposes, that stand for themselves and their function and, besides, come together in the realm of fantasy, of poetry. They could be minor details: a star of light, patterns in a wall…. Little things, showing that we have made an effort to understand the world of children; that we have overcome what stands between us – age, drawing board, cost calculations… ambition, architecture.’ 1
