智萌幼儿园及艺术学校
GEM Kindergarten & Art School

我们希望在这所幼儿园中创造一座属于小朋友的城市，以不同的高低错落的建筑体量和门窗尺度让小朋友来认知世界。同时以一种自由和鼓励可能性的图形，模糊甚至消除建筑固有的室内外边界，给儿童创造更多“自我建构”的机会。据此，设计通过缩小建筑尺度，把18个班的空间需求分散到多个小体量建筑中，这些错落的建筑体间形成了迷你的街道、广场和公园。

幼儿园大小不同的门窗在建筑外部看来是一个抽象的元素，实际上这是依据其内部空间符合孩子们读书、游戏和休息等不同的活动尺度进行设计。利用墙体厚度使窗洞成为一个儿童活动的空间。

作为项目一部分的艺术学校，为儿童提供艺术培训。建筑采用虚实交融的方式组织空间。实体部分为艺术授课室，多个课室体块在横向和纵向交错布置，在体块间产生通透的公共交通、展示和交流区域。课室体块像一个个错动的面向城市的艺术窗口，与绿植墙面相交错，构成了立面上独特的美学效果。在夜间，内透光会使授课室变得通透，这样，室内的艺术活动便可展示给公众。

The project aims to create a city for the kids in this kindergarten, providing various scales of buildings, doors and windows for children to multiply their experiences and perceptions of their context. At the same time, we try to blur or even eliminate the boundary between interior and exterior with a free form. Thus, the design is conceived with a welcoming scale scheme, which resolves the spatial requirement of 18 classes into a series of small buildings, generating streets, plazas and gardens in between.

The special design of windows and doors of the kindergarten, which are abstractions of symbolic elements exterior, are actually created to accommodate kids' various activities in different scales, such as reading, playing or resting.

As a part of this project, the art school provides art training for children. The architecture is organized in a way of void-solid intersection. The solid volumes are classrooms with different programs. These floating blocks stagger spatially, leaving a void between them for public space, circulation and exhibition. The staggered classroom blocks, like many windows showing art activity to the city, together with the green wall, provides a unique effect on the facades. At night, the classroom blocks become bright while the lights go through the semi-transparent facade, showing the inner activities to the outside.
