The exhibition consists of four modules, each of the first three devoted to a simple geometrical shape (square, circle, triangle); the fourth illustrates the combination of these forms in everyday objects. The design includes the use of color, size texture, and various spatial concepts. In each room, a progression from two-dimensional to three-dimensional forms and from small to large is followed, with a railing with braille and print instructions to guide the children. The exhibit is to be used as a playing-learning environment for children six to 11 years of age in which they are encouraged to explore independently and to communicate their feelings and impressions to their fellow students.
