IMAGINING A PITTSBURGH CHILDREN'S CENTER:

A vivid imprint of a bunch of actively engaged children, a Post Office with dollhouse details, and a storybook-like empty planetarium triggered our imagination in the design of the expanded Children's Museum. We were further inspired by the innovative idea of the Children's Center, which brings together the Museum with other children's programs and resources, advocacy and research. Finally, there was the opportunity to knit old neighborhoods back together that had been cut apart by urban renewal. We wanted the surrounding neighborhoods that were short on resources, as well as Pittsburgh (and the country) to see the Children's Center as their resource.
