They sure didn't have anything like the Discovery daycare center when I was a kid. This super-modern design, which is to be built in Dresden, Germany, features 13 egg-like classrooms with a public glassed-in area in the center of the structure.
The purpose of this concept is to not only create an eco-conscious building for kids, but also to instill the idea of environmental responsiblity at an early age. While creating an open and free space for the children to play and create, the Discovery daycare center incorporates solar panels, a water recycling system and be completely CO2 emission free.
