Informed by the secessionist obsession with the artistic imagination of children, the 'Kinder Kunst Garten' is sited in Sigmund Freud Park, Vienna. In its use, the project elevates children to the position of teachers, as adults are assigned to observation points to study, document and learn from the freeform creative processes the children exhibit through their behaviour and artistic output. The project fuses itself with the surrounding park through an undulating terrain which plays within and around the building, and provides a landscape for exhibiting the work produced in the school. These interplays between landscape and building were guided in their development through a resistance to dead ends.
