In this article, we presented a look into the design, fabrication and installation processes of the “Early Childhood Zone” at the Kind Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra), in Saudi Arabia, which we created at Sietecolores. In the piece we analyze the lessons learned from designing a space for a culture different than our own.
