The architectural environment of buildings of the preschool and educational institutions of Waldorf pedagogy is one of the most important components of children education. For creating a proper environment for the education and formation of a child's personality, a significant role is performed by spiritual science called anthroposophy. Adaptation of anthroposophical principles of shaping in the three-dimensional solutions when designing new and revitalizing historical buildings of preschool and educational institutions is one of the promising methods of achieving the goal in the architectural practice of designing children's institutions of Waldorf pedagogy. This goal is to create a harmonious and comfortable environment for children education.
A number of scientific methods were used in the research to solve the set tasks, particulalry synchronous (aimed to reveal the general conditions of development of the architectural and spatial environment of kindergartens); method of system analysis, method of characteristic and assessment of the conditions of architectural and spatial environment of kindergartens, abstraction (to study individual objects of the kindergartens of Waldorf pedagogy; analytical-synthetic (to formulate a holistic view of the current state of the problem of architectural and spatial environment of kindergartens); method of analogy (to establish correlations between kindergartens using different approaches to education); inductive method (to summarize results of studying available sources).
It is studied that architectural and spatial environment of the designed and revitalized buildings of preschool and educational institutions of Waldorf pedagogy, their material basis, is grounded on the principles of spiritual science called anthroposophy. The constructive and spatial solutions, building and finishing materials, color range of premises and elements of the spatial environment provide favorable conditions for upbringing and developing a child's personality.
The influence of architectural environment on children development has been established. The exceptional role of application and adaptation of anthroposophical principles in shaping the architectural environment of preschool and educational institutions of Waldorf pedagogy has been confirmed.
