Enveloped in a black and white exterior, "TOYS Utopia" aims to revive the old black and white street scene. This children's playground deconstructs and reinterprets traditional architecture using retro elements and Morandi colors. The building, designed for children, features a flipped "U" shape as an anti-vault primary structure, with point symbols in the plan design ensuring comfortable interactions. The volumetric composition combines cubes and point frameworks, with the structural system integrating an anti-vault with beam and column systems.
