He has established the kindergarten of design as a basic course of architecture, which developed gradually during cpy:None key:Kindergarten of design, Frederick Froebel, basic design, design education, play Janeba’s teaching in Melbourne, Ankara and Vienna. Janeba claimed that in the foundation of design teaching lays the play activity. Fritz Janeba’s education approach depended on: o Basically capturing of sensations, moreover understanding, assessing, recognizing vitality, order and structure of the design problem at hand and presenting them. o Conquering the design problem by pursuing intellectual, creative and technical aspects of the discipline and developing principles of merging of forms, for the creation of spaces. o Eventually developing a construction project, fulfilling a design task with all phases of surveying, discovering and creating. In this process Joy and enthusiasm are coupled with the natural play instinct - anything that can bring out the human nature. The roots of the idea of the Kindergarten goes back to German educator Frederick Froebel (1782-1852) The Austrian Fritz Janeba developed the idea in Melbourne / Australia. Later he transferred the Kindergarten of Design Studio to the Faculty of Architecture at the Middle East Technical University, under basic design education. He compared the program of the course to the concept of the early schooling a child receives in the Kindergarten.
