Kindergarten Dandelion Clock by Ecker ArchitektenWe really love <a href="http://inhabitat.com/amazing-green-roof-art-school-in-singapore/">educational architecture</a> that creates a dynamic learning environment, and this bodacious Dandelion Clock kindergarten in Germany is an excellent example of just that. The brainchild of <a href="http://www.ecker-architekten.de/">Ecker Architekten</a>, the modular school design establishes a unique identity for mentally and physically handicapped children without sacrificing a sense of color and play. Plus, it's a daylit haven that permits outdoor play any time of the year.1
