The coolest kindergarten in Berlin
Pippi Longstocking inspired the design of this kindergarten in Berlin. Architecture students spent several days with children observing how they spend their time and how they communicate and then came up with this exuberant building.
As Coolhunter.co.uk reported: The Taka-Tuka-Land kindergarten was originally erected as a temporary solution, but with the fantastic Baupiloten approach to the refurbishment, it has become a permanent place for children. See more pictures and read about it here.
It sure beats those adapted Victorian buildings or '70s monstrosities that house so many nurseries.
How weird, my comment about Berlin kindergarten culture disappeared.

Aha! So now we know where you get to hear about all these hip, modern things Jennifer (yes, I scrolled down the page & saw the article about that hairdressers, Tantrum, that you wrote about last month).

I think it's a pity they didn't soften the sharp corners on the seating area.

It reminds me of a day-glo version of one of those mobile 'huts' we used to have in our playground in the 70's...
