About Wandering in the Woods Umklamo Wangaphakathi Wenkulisa
UkuZulazula Ehlathini (Wandering in the Woods) umklamo wangaphakathi wenkulisa owenzelwe izingane ezineminyaka emibili kuya kweyisithupha. Isakhiwo sokuqala sasinesikhala esilinganiselwe futhi sasincike kakhulu ekukhanyeni kokwenziwa. Ngenxa yezizathu zokuzinza kwesakhiwo kanye nezindleko, umklamo ugcina sonke isakhiwo bese ufaka i-atrium egijima ngokuqonda phansi phezulu ihlanganisa izitezi ezintathu, ukuze wonke amagumbi okufundela athole ukukhanya kwemvelo emaceleni womabili. Izinsika ziba yizihlahla, imishayo ibe ngamabhuloho. Izitebhisi eziqhubekayo kanye nezishibiliki ziyazombeleza ezinsikeni futhi zixhumanise izikhala. Izindlu zezihlahla zinikeza izindawo ezithule zokufunda nokusebenza ngezandla.
About the Umklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award
Wandering in the Woods Umklamo Wangaphakathi Wenkulisa iwinile uMklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile kakhulu okunikezwa imiklamo eyiqiniso eyingqayizivele, ebukekayo nenobukhosi. Abawinile bePlatinamu yizimangaliso zokudalwa, ubufakazi bemingcele yobuhlakani bokudala, futhi babonisa ubungcweti nobuhlakani obungenakuqhathaniswa babaklami babo. Le miklamo ilindeleke ukuba ibe yimisebenzi edume kakhulu echaza ubuhle besikhathi, enikela ekuhlalakahleni komphakathi futhi isunduza imingcele yobuciko, isayensi, ukuklama nobuchwepheshe. Wandering in the Woods Umklamo Wangaphakathi Wenkulisa ibonisa izinga elingaphezu kwejwayelekile lobuhle futhi ngokungangabazeki yenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono ngezimfanelo zayo eziluthandwa nezibalulekile. Wandering in the Woods Umklamo Wangaphakathi Wenkulisa ngumsebenzi owinile uMklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award ovusa izifiso, ukhuthaza, ujabulisa futhi udale injabulo enkulu.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The design creates an atrium based on original structure and bring an experience of wandering in the woods. Columns and beams immediately become trees and bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral up around the "trees", connecting and activating spaces. "Tree houses" provide private spaces for children to read and do handwork.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 50000 mm x Depth 24000 mm x Height 15000 mm
- Tags
- kindergarten, atrium, woodland, columns and beams, tree house
- Production Technology
- A series of structure studies optimized the construction logic of the atrium. Columns and beams are transformed into trees and bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral up around the "trees", connecting and activating spaces. "Tree houses" provide private spaces for children to read and do handwork.
- Design Challenge
- It is extremely difficult for individuals or institutions to launch a kindergarten in China since the land policy. The owner and his wife are outstanding preschool educators. They hope to establish a real world-leading kindergarten in China. However, this building with poor sunlight is the only possible site for them. It had limited space and heavily relied on artificial lights, which was against the common expectations of kindergartens.
- Research
- Sunlight, soil and grass are all essential spatial elements to children's growth. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design has kept the entire structure and created an atrium running vertically through three stories. Such design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Through design, a poor building has become a lively kindergarten. It's exciting that this kindergarten is now the best one in south China.
- Inspiration
- The original structure resembled a liner with limited space and poor sunlight. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design keeps the entire structure and create an atrium running vertically through three stories. The design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Columns become trees and beams become bridges to form abundant spatial effects. Taking advantage of the original structure, the atrium transforms the "liner" into a "woodland."
- Project Duration
- Design: 2018.12 Construction: 2019.01-2019.07
- Operation Flow
- The kindergarten thoughtfully considers the needs of children at 2-6. The facilities are benchmarked against the needs of children at 2-6, and distinguish between those for children at 1.5-3 and those for children at 3-6. Classrooms adopt soft colors and materials, creating a home-like space where child can fully express their potentiality.
