Abstract
This report is about a simple project which involves complex elements. The report describes an investigation and discusses the impinging concerns of that investigation. The investigation involved children between the ages of 5 and 7 with a mean age of 6.4. It is a summer study about the ways in which children view their environment, the elements of the environment and some possibles in the design of that environment. It is a study in which I sought to synthesize design (urban, architectural, artistic) as a mode of causation. It also sought to synthesize the two as a way of viewing the design condition. I wanted. to discover the union of the psychological and the creative; the mind and the impetus to affect the mind. The primary concerns of this study are children, design, and the images (subjective knowledge) of each and their interaction.
