EverChanging Scenery - An explore-and-store set, for children and the child in your mind

Abstract

Nowadays, more children live in an urban environment, which provides less access to nature. Researches have proven that engaging with nature is an essential requirement for children's cognitive, emotional and physical development. Antoni Gaudí, who captured the purest and most pleasant images of nature, said: "Nothing is invented for it is written in nature first". The charm of nature is always worth spending time on. The purpose of the project is to create one or a set of designed object for user’s (children and adults) collections from the adventures in nature, bringing the natural experiences back to indoor environments, enhance the observing and exploring activities. With the deigned object, children could not only store and arrange their collections in an easy and interesting way, but also look deeper and creatively into them, creating plays and sceneries out of their treasures. The set can be used by a child and growing up with him/her throughout his/her lifetime.
