| APPROACH: this project was influenced and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, which is a educational philosophy (from the city Reggio Emilia in North-Italy) where documentation of how children work, look and interact with the world around them is of great importance; this is why the book contains so many pictures - ordered like strips of film; because this approach is also very much based on openness - looking at the natural behaviour of children - an important factor for the design of the book was the desire to make it open and flexible (with playful lines in different forms, with images in different directions and sizes). |
