STICKS: Miniature Tipi-Shaped Kindergartens for Urban Parks in Paris

Nobody bypasses city planning restraints better than <a href="http://www.djuric-tardio.com/">French designers Djuric Tardio</a>, whose recent concept—titled "Sticks"—envisions the installation of tipi-shaped miniature kindergartens in urban parks throughout Paris. Responding to a lack of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/dandelion-clock-is-a-bodacious-modular-kindergarten-in-germany/">quality kindergartens</a> in Paris as well as prohibitive permitting requirements, the studio proposed to build a series of stick-clad three-story conical structures ideal for up to twelve children.

Djuric Tardio has designed a series of miniature tipi-shaped kindergartens for Paris

Three storeys tall and clad in sticks, these mini spaces are designed to be mass-produced at low cost

This design comes in response to lack of decent kindergartens and restrictive planning laws

There's a kitchen on the lower floor

Teaching and activity areas are on the second floor

These mini kindergartens are easily constructed and have a very small footprint

The idea is to place them in mostly un-used green spaces in the city

Nobody bypasses planning laws quite like Djuric Tardio!
