After the studio session..

After discussing with the tutor my ideas with the library, we came to a solution of going along with the Folie idea of hanging underneath the bridge. 

I was thinking of having a main 'lobby' area, where everyone can interact with each other from all age groups then taking glass tube like elevators and descending down to separate pods with respect to your age group. 

After some research on age group separation, I found that kids from the age of 6-9 works well together, ages 10-13, and 14-18 as they are more 'grown up' and living the life of how teenagers need to be (from personal experience). 

Age 6-9

Whilst doing research on this particular age group, one main concept throughout all designs for early learning centres is the use of bright colours; mainly blue, green, red, orange and yellow. These colours are used throughout the room including chairs, tables, shelves, playtime areas, etc.. Early learning centres also encourages kids to learn to play. A prime example of this happening is the actual Early Learning Centre in Kingston, London.
