- Abstract
"Building Children's Worlds: The Representation of Architecture and Modernity in Picturebooks" is a collection of twelve chapters that examine how modern architecture is depicted in children's picturebooks from different countries and how these representations influence children's attitudes towards the built environment. The book is divided into three parts: "Modernity," "Domestic Space," and "Urban Space," each exploring different aspects of architectural representation. The chapters cover a range of topics, including the role of architecture in post-war British picturebooks, the significance of domestic interiors in Australian and Italian picturebooks, and the portrayal of architecture in comic strips and fantasy novels. This groundbreaking collection encourages further exploration of the relationship between architecture and children's literature.
