From the images and description provided by Rebecca Fleischer, the Prinsessegade Kindergarden and Youth Center, designed by COBE and NORD Architects, PK3, and engineering firm Grontmij, will be a magical place when completed in 2014.
The analogy to a city is apt not just due to its size - it will be the largest preschool and daycare center in Denmark - but because its design is "based on the layout of a general city" and will be "equipped with its very own neighborhoods, houses, public spaces, squares, parks, a stadium, a fire station, and more."
According to Fleischer, the goal of the competition-winning design is to "provide the tools and necessary facilities for kids who want to do absolutely anything, from conducting a musical in City Hall to creating their own menus for the restaurant. With a city tailored to practically every interest, kids can be conscientious of their future roles in both city living and their endeavors in life."
