Vanke Experimental Kindergarten / Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects

+ 37

Text description provided by the architects. A kindergarten is the first public space that children encounter outside of their homes.  Scale, flexibility, and spatial atmosphere play an important role to shape children's emotional and cognitive development.  They also present challenging tasks for the architecture to inspire children to explore and learn while feeling safe and comfortable. During the initial research, the design team found that informal spaces such as corridors in front of the activity rooms often become an important place for children to inhabit, interact and play.
