Challenge

How can architecture address children’s growing disconnection from nature and exploration?

Solution

A nature-integrated nursery that choreographs safe movement between child-scaled classrooms, sensory gardens, shared community spaces, and protected retreats—making everyday contact with nature a foundation for exploration, care, and belonging. 1
