One problem of kindergartens in Iran is the lack of attention to the design of space based on the principles of aesthetics and nurturing creativity, and not giving priority to designing the educational spaces in compliance with design standards, which unfortunately leads to creating environments unsuitable for children's needs. The ongoing study is qualitatively oriented, focusing on outcomes, primary goals, and responses to inquiries. Consequently, analytical, perceptual, and categorized depictions emerged from the gathered data. The data collection approach is descriptive and library-based. This current research is practical in its objectives and qualitative in data nature. Information gathering is library-centric. The research follows a descriptive-analytical methodology.Children learn through interaction with the physical and social environment. Architecture is a part of the education program, and educational-formal architecture is a building whose order and planning are derived from an educational approach that involves spaces for themselves and in education. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, architecture incorporates topics like cognitive science that can assist us in reaching these objectives. In the educational approach, indoor spaces act as a coach. Order, structure, and transparency are the characteristics of spaces. Surveys show that the presented aesthetic diversity provides the conditions for learning with all senses, and, as a result, every child in educational spaces sees their work as documentation or displayed images.  The category of environment in general, as well as environmental causes in particular, are among those that are important in terms of their influence and role on the child's behavior and psyche. The environment, as the basis of the child's activity and life, and the impact of the environmental conditions on the child is unavoidable. However, the importance of this matter, which is often forgotten amid modern life, construction, and industrialization, is the neglect of the impact of the environment on children's psyche and habits, which causes anxiety and worry in many cases. Due to its interdisciplinarity, the architecture industry uses categories such as cognitive sciences, social sciences, humanities, and art in its content. Ultimately, not only the final result of design but also the process of design and architecture should be studied and researched. The distance between the hidden space, as the intellectual and ideal environment of the designer, and the current environment, as the space that is built and used, is very different. If the ideal space is transformed into a physical structure, the social, cultural, and psychological well-being of the space's users must be carefully considered. Objectivity and introspection in design, the impact of the physical environment on children's creativity, and leveraging these connections are crucial focal points. Regrettably, the mindset of constructing for the sake of construction without regard for life neglects these vital considerations. Hence, research in this domain is crucial and indispensable.  To address these inquiries, "How can the architectural environment and the physical body be molded according to the needs and traits that impact the development and creativity of children to maximize their flourishing?" Additionally, "How does architectural space influence the sense of belonging and creative thinking in children?"; Drawing on concepts from figures such as Eric Berne's "Reciprocal Behavior Analysis" and Piaget's "Child Psychology" can be highly beneficial. In the following, we will discuss the questions of this research: "Which factors in the interior design of the kindergarten space can lead to the promotion of imagination, play, and curiosity of the child? "By responding to these questions, the goal is to create environments that foster children's development by leveraging the potential of the surroundings to encourage creativity.The research has been compiled using an analytical-descriptive method and library techniques, with explanations and organization provided. Case examples have been included to aid in understanding the topic. The researcher's goals have included focusing on works to facilitate comprehension, as well as conducting case studies and analysis.

Children spend about 25% of their time in the educational open spaces, as the outdoor space for preschool children (3-6 years) can influence mental ,physical, artistic and educational needs, which all have interconnections with creativity growth. Considering the neglect of landscape design, researchers shall pay attention to the principled design of this important space in order to promote children's creativity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve the quality of open space educational environments in order to strengthen the role of these spaces in the growth of children's creativity. Based on the literature review, the influential factors on creativity were identified and categorized. an open-ended test (with a qualitative method) conducted to gather the attitude of architects and specialists in psychology and educational sciences who are experts in the field of children's creativity, aiming to optimize open educational spaces in and develop the creativity of children aged 3-6years. The results studied descriptively by content analysis method. Relying on the findings of the open-ended test and literature review, a closed-ended questionnaire was published between the kindergarten and preschool community of Tehran. Then, by performing exploratory factor analysis using spss-26 software on the results of the questionnaires, 6factors were introduced: "inviting the environment to participation and experience, psychological well-being, stimulating natural elements of the environment, diversity of performance, environmental vitality and environmental motivation". The details of the above factors, given the questions that each factor poses, can lead to a list of principles of open space design for children that can be the subject of future research. The use of gender as a controlling factor can introduce subject for future studies.

Play space is one of the child's favorite spaces that greatly affects the child's mental state and the proper design of these environments can improve their emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the capacity or ability to organize the feelings and emotions of oneself and others, to motivate oneself and effectively control one's emotions and use them in relationships with others. The main purpose of this article is to design a space for children to play with the influence of factors such as natural and artificial environments with emphasis on promoting the benefits of emotional and social intelligence in the early years of life and, addresses the needs of children in these environments and whether they can create a favorable environment to increase children's emotional intelligence by providing a special spatial pattern? To achieve this goal, using mixed research, a study of 100 children in two groups (children who experienced the play environment and children who did not experience playing in such environments), along with the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Bar-on on as well as a questionnaire in relation to the effect of architecture and play environment on the performance and accuracy of the child and observations in sass software environment has been evaluated and analyzed. The results indicate that children in both groups have a common need, which by considering these needs and integrating them with the solutions extracted from previous research in the field of eliminating the deficiencies in children's play environments, special solutions can be suggested for designing children's play spaces that create a more favorable environment for the development of emotional and social intelligence. The most important of these strategies include flexibility of the physical environment, spatial diversity, appropriate decorations and furniture and views of the natural environment, which, using these criteria, design the spaces in such a way as to promote emotional and social intelligence in children.

Development of many human abilities and aspects including creativity begins in the childhood. As children put imagination into action at early childhood ages and they are influenced by the surroundings, designing proper social spaces such as kindergartens for them is of great importance. On the other hand, with the proper use of environmental factors such as color, the design of kindergarten as a children's social space can be carried out in an appropriate method. The purpose of this study is to consider the design ideals, based on attention to children's creativity in kindergartens and child centers. By studying, the ideas related to the design of children spaces and the effects of color on them, and analyzing the factors such as color on children; it is possible to create a space for them to increase their motivation and creativity. The research method of this study is qualitative in a descriptive and analytical manner with a statistical population consisting of 120 children aged 2-5years who were randomly selected from six kindergartens in Tehran. Data are collected by analyzing case studies of successful kindergartens in Iran and other countries, and visual questionnaires for children. Results indicate that color is one of the effective parameters that the reasonable using of it in kindergarten space can provide a suitable platform for children's creativity to achieve.

Gender has a key role in Islamic thought and considers it as an aspect should be trained. Now a days in light of psychological and social studies, there are more information about gender differences. These differences influence education and training via “gender identity” and “sex-typing”. So it’s essential to consider gender differences in out door open spaces design. The goal of this study concentrated on the effect of gender differences in Islamic thought on outdoor open space design. Reviewing mental differences and growing and structural aspects between boys and girls, we have built a frame for open interview which concluded to Delphi process. The study is a qualitative and operational and conducted a Delphi process between 7 psychologists and 15 architecture experts. The result is an applicable list of architectural considerations for outdoor planning. Using hot and bright colors, suitable areas for congregation, simple geometry, curved corners and miniature elements can be suggested for girls. Mild colors, encounter space, sophisticated geometry, expert and job acquaintance dedicated space, different levels, ballgame space are suitable for girls.
