This nursery school concept is one that recently won an architecture competition in London, England.
The purpose of the contest was for competitors to create a kindergarten design that focuses on what young children would enjoy, while simultaneously conceptualizing the "nursery of the future." The 'Nursery Fields Forever' concept was designed by architects from Italy and the Netherlands and imagines a children's nursery that is surrounded by a farm. The nursery school would supply children with important skills around gardening and sustainability, while keeping them active and engaged in a hobby.
With climate change worsening, it is younger generations that are likely to deal with the brunt of the consequences from actions taken by generations before them. This nursery school would equip young children with the basic skills and knowledge required to learn how to respect the environment, and sustainably use what it produces.
