Abstract
This study investigated early background of Built Environment Education (BEE) in the U.S. and an American BEE curriculum “Architecture and Children” authored by Anne P. Taylor. Philosophies of Taylor's learning environment design and architectural design education were organized into 4 areas: Relationalism, Habitability Framework (Whole Learner), Multiple Intelligences and Deep Ecology. In her early work in 1960-70s she was influenced by land artists in the U.S. At that time land artists and art pedagogues including Taylor absorbed a lesson from environmental issues and created the new field of art, architectural design and education. Through that insight, she redefined her profession considering architectural education and developed the new form of interdisciplinary art education.
