pure inspiration

70°N is an architecture firm from Norway. Back in 1996, they took part in a competition to build 2 kindergartens in Tromsø. They won both. The kindergarten in Fjellvegen was completed in March 2006 and the kindergarten in Lars Thøringsveg in September 2006. The kindergartens have been built to have the possibility of variety in the use of rooms. With very simple moves one can change each room into new rooms of various sizes and functions. There are several options for combinations and joint actions of rooms and spaces.

Both teachers and students can change the environment as needed. I really want this type of thinking in more American schools.

I loved the concept as well as the execution! Seems like a perfect place for the little ones.

This is an impressive design that will stimulate children imagination.
