PLOT#8 – Kids in Space

A four-year old child asks about 400 questions every day. The good news: It will become less! The bad news: All these questions need to be answered! Well, it is always worthwhile to consider the children’s questions as an invitation  to think about these issues, because the process of teaching and learning involves a dialogue – be it at home at the kitchen table, on the sports field or in a museum.
What role do designers play in these rooms of experience? How can scenography contribute to get adolescents interested in subjects that were so far unfamiliar and mysterious to them? How are complex issues prepared and staged in a way suitable for children? These are questions which we want to answer in PLOT#8 – Kids in Space with outstanding projects. We show you an exhibition focussing on a separate narrative strand within the museum concept, a Junior Campus illustrating the topic of sustainability, an opera approaching the comprehensive narrative of Wagner’s “Ring of the Nibelungs” in a playful way, and a Science Centre, which is custom- tailored for the needs of adolescents. Additionally, we present you the first children’s museum in the world. And with the help of the exclusive PLOT-papercraft you can explain the world of scenography to your children or clients together with Graf Szeno and the “Spatial Five”!
