| description | This paper aims to investigate the spatial quality in kindergartens by comparing two different
kindergarten typologies based on lighting and ventilation as design factors. Most kindergartens in
Malaysia are converted from either a house or a shop lot that were not purposely built to suit the
functions of a good learning environment. This has caused restrictions on space planning and affects
the learning quality of the children. Past works have shown studies on space effectiveness in terms of
safety, security and comfort level based on user perception, however, there were no research done on
spatial quality of kindergartens with regards to lighting and ventilation as design factors. This research
is important as it justifies and suggests the better type of building that can be converted into a
kindergarten to provide better learning environment for the children from the two most popular type in
Selangor ; dwelling-type and shop lot-type kindergarten. A case study method is utilized to analyze
these two different types of kindergarten in Selangor by focusing on the design factors mentioned
above. The findings will provide a comprehensive data that can be used as a basis for future research
in the field of learning environment and as a reference in preparing kindergarten set up requirements in
the future in order to achieve the best design approach in designing the effective learning environment
in kindergartens. |
