During the late 1950s through the 1980s Walter Meyer-Bohe wrote countless books on building types, architectural details and practical aspects of architecture. In this long row of publications he also published „Bauten für die Jugend/Structures for Children“, published in 1972 by Verlagsanstalt Alexander Koch. Contrary to what the English title suggests the book doesn’t only focus on architecture for children, i.e. kindergartens, day-care etc., but also covers buildings for juveniles. On some 120 pages Meyer-Bohe collects predominantly German but also Dutch, Swiss, Italian or English examples of this particular typology, all of them presented in photos and plans. A nice antiquarian find!
