In a Relationship - Museums and the Land: This section surveys four new museums that incorporate natural elements in their design. It examines how the elements of the land have shaped, inspired, or been woven into their design, each in different ways. It considers whether these designs relate to the museum's contemporary needs and the urgent and overdue agenda of sustainability. Kindergartens: Architecture of 100 Languages
The Reggio Emilia method of early years education, founded by Loris Malaguzzi in post-war Italy, has had a global influence on kindergartens. The Kindergarten Bambú in Chile, designed with this method in mind, creates intermediary spaces that encourage exploration and discovery. The Engelbach Kindergarten in Austria has transitional terrace spaces that dialogue with the external play area, creating ideal conditions for exploration and fun. The philosophy is that architecture has "100 languages" with which to respond to a child's pedagogical needs.
