Thesis (Bachelor of Science in Architecture) -- University of the Philippines Diliman June 2023. From a child’s point of view, every experience, regardless of how unstructured or seemingly insignificant, is a learning experience, as each one provides them with knowledge of the world they live in. Because of this, it is important for children to have access to a variety of different experiences and interactions from which to learn from. This is only possible if they are provided with different environments and contexts wherein these may occur. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly hampered children’s learning by restricting their access to these environments and experiences, and to the people they may share them with. The shift to online learning has exacerbated this further, especially for children from lower-income families who do not have the means to properly participate. As pandemic regulations begin to lift in 2022, it is necessary to provide children with a means to recover from the learning gap of the previous two years, and to move forward from the trauma and limits they represent. This thesis aims to provide such a solution in the form of a children’s museum that will use group interactive learning as a means to engage children in a variety of different learning experiences in a safe and comfortable out-of-school environment, and include their parents or caregivers as active participants in the learning process. This approach in museum design, informed by qualitative data from literature and precedent reviews, ocular inspections, interviews with museum staff, and a detailed analysis of the project’s site and users, aims to create a forward-looking children’s museum design that provides the children of Marikina City and Metro Manila with the learning experiences necessary to not only make up for what was lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, but to also develop holistically and hopefully, regardless of the challenges the post-pandemic era may bring.
