In using the assemblage theory, this article focuses on the concepts of “city singularity” and “urban atmospheres” in designing better places for children. A literature review revealed a theoretical framework aiming at a possible relationship between singularity, urban atmospheres, and assemblage thinking. A retrospective survey launched among practitioners provided insights for developing the formwork and investigated the school-age children’s environment in public places around the globe. The results reveal how physical forms should be configured to fit the outdoor daily life and create salient urban atmospheres. Discussing the findings of articulating the theory ends with four lessons learned in the creation of friendly atmospheres for school-age children that can make a singularity of today’s cities. The concluding remarks can motivate urban planners and designers to design a better children’s environment. |
