OF This kindergarten in the village of Cerkvenjak, Slovenia, is inseparably connected with the natural surrounding of the trees and playground equipment. T he concept of the kindergarten is similar to its local surrounding with the rhythmic string of volumes and roofs. Because of this, the kindergarten does not surpass the scale of an individual house and gives to the user – a child – a sense of home. The kindergarten design originated from an existing learning path of Klopotec, which runs nearby. The kindergarten 72 africandesignmagazine.com is a new program and function that upgrades the existing learning path; it has become a new branch of the Klopotec learning path. The result of using the principle of a learning path is a unique division and rhythm of the playrooms. The kindergarten offers rich experience to children. AD i
