Feature: Architecture in Germany 2000-2012

摘要

Cars are "culture," the Germans say. With high quality world-class cars first on the list, "German design" has become a bywor for durability, functionality, and stylish design. Along with this, even from the cities, one can reach locations of lush greenery with a 30-minute drive, so there is a strong appreciation of nature. This fact is related to the passionate interest Germans have in ecology and environmental problems, not to mention the policies of environmental preservation backed by the nation's government. Infants and small children are given wooden toys, and many kindergartens advocate "contact with nature."
