Abstract

 This paper shows children's learning as a starting point in the research that architects undertake when starting a project. From this form of learning, the foundations for the elaboration of maps, the construction of meanings, and the real-life experiences in the construction of concepts and variables are formed. In turn, architects, as experimental psychologists of perception, use these. Great architects seem to have discovered this aspect every time they experienced the ludic pleasure of the professional work and compared it with the feelings that triggered some childhood memory. Frank Lloyd Wright's childhood is seen as implicit in Unity Temple (Oak Park) and, as such, we will use this work as a case study.
