A kindergarten is a place where children learn to express themselves freely, to be creative, to participate socially, and to express themselves physically. According to Friedrich Fröbel’s original vision, who founded the first kindergarten in 1840, the outdoors is an essential part of the kindergarten, where one interacts with nature, plays, plants, cares for, explores, observes, and discovers. Our project aims to capture the original meaning of this term and create a building that promotes exploration, creativity, and a love for nature. A small cosmos held together by the common measure of children’s growth through wonder, touch, imagination, feeling, and being. It is a landscape. It is a wonderful playground. It is Volkita.
