We were commissioned to design a new full-day kindergarten on a square site of 2400㎡, which can hold 12 classrooms for 360 children. The site is limited between high-rise buildings on both of north and south sides, with a city park on the east and a technical school on the west. We were originally inspired by children’s paintings collected from a public class we gave to the neighborhood. Their paintings delivered wishes for having hills, tents and grasslands in their future kindergarten.
