The CEDEI Nursery School, designed by +K Arquitetos, was conceived with urban dwelling in mind, and with a facade that resembles the manufacturing plants of the neighborhood where it is located. The separate buildings and spaces, each with its specific and exclusive purpose – administration, nursery, atelier, multiple use rooms, eatery and kitchen, etc – are interconnected by wide sidewalks, plazas and skywalks. More images and architects’ description after the break.
One of the features we looked to implement with this design is the “invitation” of activities that are conducted internally, in each block, to be expanded to the outside, between the blocks. The plazas (either covered or not) are strategically implemented to enable the meeting between the different groups of people that will use this facility, such as students from different ages, teachers, school employees and parents.
