Designing toilets with children: A design adventure in preschool educational institution

Abstract

Children have long been neglected by designers. However, children's participation in the design process is essential for the creation of creative spaces. Children have the right to be involved in the design of the spaces they use based on their personal experiences. Preschool educational institutions are essential as the initial socialization environment for the child. The designs of these facilities have an impact on the lives of children in the future. The process of toilet training, which includes the preschool years, impacts the lives and development of children in the future. In addition to a healthy toileting routine, it is necessary for children to develop awareness in many areas, such as muscle control and self-care abilities. The design of toilet interiors in preschool educational institutions also affects the cognitive, physical and mental development of children. The purpose of this study is to determine the interior design criteria of the toilet as a wet area in preschool educational institutions in accordance with the expectations of children in the 36-72 month age range who are members of Gen Alpha. The case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in this research, along with a mosaic approach, which allows the process to be conducted with children The study's findings revealed that the suggestions for the design of the toilet interiors of the 36-72 month group children, who are Gen Alpha, are tech-focused.
