Design Details

Unique Properties
The yellow, blue, and green that symbolize love, extracted from "Little Yellow and Little Blue", are used as identifying colors to be used in the standard activity room and bathroom area on each floor. The local bright color blocks are embellished to facilitate children to remember and distinguish through colors. The functional attributes of each space.
Inspiration
The designer hopes to be entertaining, use simple and simple forms of expression, with colors and elements close to children's logical thinking, to provide children with a space to know themselves, understand the world, interact, integrate, and improve themselves, so that they can feel here. Family, friendship and love.
Research
An excellent kindergarten is not only a space, but also an excellent education. What the designer can do is not to over-design and leave the space blank. In terms of decorative modeling techniques, designers avoid overly concrete forms and use more rational and natural forms and materials, allowing teachers to guide children to use their imagination and fill in these deliberately left blanks.
Challenge
Safety is the key point throughout the kindergarten design. Most young children have the habit of "touching everywhere" and "biting casually". Therefore, in the selection of materials, green and non-toxic are the first conditions to be met, and at the same time, the details of the spatial modeling should be as round as possible.
Realization and Technology
The designer takes advantage of the characteristics of the wall materials to treat all the external corners of the facade that are easily accessible to children into small round corners, so as to avoid secondary damage to children in the event of accident.
Operation and Interaction
Children are willing to stay in interesting spaces and try to explore. The colorful shadow cast by the light from the top of the stairs through the multicolored glass and the circular cavity on the wall or a transparent floor on the ground are treasures for children to explore.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in July 2019 in Xianyang and finished in August 2020 in Xianyang.
