The architecture contain four overlapping functions that ensure the facility will continue to be loved and used by the community for many years to come: it is a "house" where children can play freely in a setting their instructors and families know it's safe; a "park" where all students can move their bodies and develop their minds; a "school" where they can learn to appreciate the value of life and food; and a "fort" to protect the community during any disasters.
