Abstract

Aiming at the developmental characteristics of 3-10 year old children's life cognition concretization and the realistic pain points of adult death education avoidance and aphasia in the family of current society, this paper takes "life cycle" as the core, integrates design thinking, developmental psychology and environmental behavior theory, and constructs the space design system of parent-child life education of "wonderful journey of seeds". The study combines multi-dimensional empirical analysis to consolidate design logic: Through competitive product analysis, the existing short board of parent-child life education space is clarified, the spatial demand weight is quantified by SEM structural equation model, the real appeal of family life education is captured by questionnaire survey, and the landing design strategy is refined for excellent cases at home and abroad, so as to construct the full-cycle narrative landscape space of "germination-growth-result-termination-new germination", and create an immersive experience scene of parent-child common feeling, empathy and learning. It effectively fills the industry gap of the current parent-child life education landscape of "emphasizing children's one-way experience and neglecting adult collaborative perception", and provides a brand-new idea with theoretical support, scientific basis and landing value for the design of similar parent-child co-learning life education space.
