Abstract

‘Urban Programming Blocks’ is an architectural programming tool in an urban context, explicitly designed for children aged 6 to 12. Its purpose is to popularize urban compositional logic and urban planning principles through intuitive expression and interactive teaching methods, for stimulating children’s spatial imagination and creativity. The playability of the Urban Programming Blocks lies in the diversity of module combinations. As a teaching aid, they have both tangible visual characteristics and abstract representation on spatial information, which were well aligned with the cognitive development of children aged 6 to 12. The Urban Programming Blocks hint the knowledge from spatial perception to intelligent decision-making. Research into their playability contributes to enhancing the quality of urban spatial knowledge teaching for this age group.
