7. The best kindergarten you’ve ever seen

Filmed in Kyoto, architect Takaharu Tezuka breaks our perception of what a kindergarten looks like in the most entertaining way! Using photos from his new circular kindergarten in Japan which limits boundaries between inside and out. The rooftop is a circular shape with no room to hide – unlike in a traditional classroom shape where children can become fearful of boundaries. He shows how, by breaking the norms of what a classroom should be like (for example, quiet!), children learn effectively and grow up content and relaxed. A stimulating talk which is particularly fascinating for those with children, or involved in education.
