Subject: Making Space 2010: architecture and design for children and young
people

Dear colleagues

I work for Children in Scotland, the long-standing national umbrella agency
for the whole of the children's sector in Scotland. I though you might be
interested to hear about Making Space 2010, an international architecture
award supported by the Scottish Government and OECD Centre for Effective
Learning Environments. Submissions are invited from across the world for the
most successful building or space (indoor or outdoor) for children and young
people aged 0-18 (inclusive), completed between January 2005 and December
2010.

We have have not had many entries from America and I am hoping to circulate
the information as widely as possible to generate some further interest and
would be delighted if you could forwarded the information within your
networks

Entries are welcomed for any building or space that is for children and
young people from schools to street furnishings, recreational or
educational, rural or urban.

Entries should exemplify innovation and creativity in design as well as
demonstrating a strong process of user participation and involvement.
Entries are encouraged from anyone involved in the creation and use of a
building or space, for example, architects, designers, structural engineers,
urban designers, landscape designers, teachers, educators, users, children
and young people, commercial developers, community groups, design
consultancies.

Full entries must be received by 8 August 2010 and award winners will be
announced at an international conference on 7-8 October 2010 in Edinburgh.
This major conference brings together a range of international experts who
will examine issues related to children and space from aspects of how
children and young people relate to their environment and its impact on
their development and what we need to focus on in the future.

Please find attached documents outlining the award and international
conference if you wish to circulate to any colleagues who may be interested.
Further information about the award, conference and entry registration can
be viewed online at www.childreninscotland.org.uk/makingspace

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further
information.
