The purpose of the contest was for competitors to create a [kindergarten design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gyngyszem) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxeisland-farm), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nursery School Design:** Create innovative and engaging designs for nursery schools that focus on children's enjoyment and future skills. - **Gardening Education:** Integrate gardening and sustainability education into early childhood curriculum to equip children with important skills and knowledge. - **Sustainable Farming:** Promote the concept of nursery schools being surrounded by farms to encourage sustainable farming practices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Education:** Develop educational programs and resources for nursery schools to incorporate gardening and sustainability education. - **Architecture:** Explore innovative designs for nursery schools that blend with nature and incorporate farm elements. - **Agriculture:** Collaborate with nursery schools to develop sustainable farming practices and create farm-oriented learning environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Learning Villages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinder-rain.md) - [Town-Like Classroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindergarten-of-museum.md) - [Nature-Promoting School Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primary-school-1.md) - [Puzzle-Inspired Italian Nurseries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noahs-ark-nursery.md) - [Historically Based Nurseries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rgis-roudil.md) - [Sustainable Colorful School designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderland-elementary-school.md) - [Outdoor Plant Communal Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nursery-at-public-records.md) - [Rammed-Earth Preschool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-dales-public-school.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Nursery Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multichildcare-crche.md)
