Rieter park, Zurich
A parcel of greenery in the middle of Zurich, the Rieterpark was bought in the 19th century by the German merchant Otto Wesendonck, who entrusted the layout and floral creation to architect Leonhard Zeugheer and landscape artist Theodor Froebel.
Theodor and Otto Froebel
Theodor (1810–1893) and Otto (1844–1906) Froebel belong to some of the most important Swiss garden designers of the 19th century and made a significant contribution to the emergence of Swiss landscape architecture in the 19th and 20th centuries

Sometimes It Takes a Child
we suddenly realized, what could be better than having an actual child help us? And that’s how my 6-year-old son Sky became a MoMA designer. He sat down at the dinner table one night, wrote out the title of the exhibition three times, and then said, “done.”

The Froebel Trust
Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852), the great German educator, is famous pre-eminently for his radical insight that the first learning experiences of the very young are of crucial importance in influencing not only their later educational achievements but also the health and development of society as a whole. He devised a set of principles and practices which would form part of an interactive educational process to take place in institutions which in 1840 he named ‘kindergarten’.
