Text description provided by the architects. The project for the new building for nursery and kindergarten is conceived from the attention to the specific needs of the population, the adaptation of the proposed systems to their environment, their feasibility and economic viability, and from principles of sustainability and energy savings. The aim of the competition, organized by the City of Zaldibar, was the completion of two buildings that could work independently: A kindergarten for children aged 2-3 years that would be integrated into the existing school complex, and a nursery for children 0-2 years that could operate independently. Under this premise, and seeking architectural appropriateness and quality of the technical proposal, priorities valued in the competition were: rapid construction, ideally during summer to avoid disrupting school activities and allowing two separate construction phases for each building, an economical design, and a proposal of energy efficiency systems and production of renewable eneregy integrated into the architectural design.
