For the new-construction of a Kindergarten for 100 Children, the Baupiloten BDA carried out a project-week on the topic of weather-phenomenons. The resulting children’s drawings formed the inspiration for models of their desired living-environments. The workshop findings were then incorporated into the architectural design.
