Dandelion Clock is a Bodacious Modular Kindergarten in Germany

We 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.

This beautiful kindergarten is located in Buchen, Germany

Specifically for mentally and physically handicapped children, it retains a sense of color and play

Repetitive framing allowed for modular construction

Four modules are arranged around a central atrium

The central atrium trebles as a play space, dining hall and traffic regulator

Overhangs mitigate excess solar gain

Roof monitors create a distinctive identity

The roof monitors also contain vents and windows that circulate natural cooling throughout the facility

This is such a thoughtful and inspiring design and we absolutely love it.
