Let me share with you some structures, made by a child, before the tidiness and homogeneity of the world's expectations have come in and said, NO! That's NOT how you do it! It won't be long before the flamboyance is lost and the complete and untrammelled ignoring of physics and general laws of architecture are suppressed.
I'm not dissing physics or the laws of architecture - I'm not an idiot! - I'm just celebrating imagination that is free-wheeling, unfettered and unselfconscious. (Apparently, my room is the one with the blue triangle and the view. I'm chuffed to be invited and will stay as long as it lasts.)
Sir Ken Robinson has insightful things to say about this kind of creativity in children and in human beings generally, which you can access on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SirKenRobinson) or Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sirkenrobinson/) and longer talks on Youtube.
And thank you to children for reminding us.
