About Wandering in the Woods Design d'interni per scuola dell'infanzia
"Wandering in the Woods" è un progetto d'interni per una scuola dell'infanzia destinata a bambini dai due ai sei anni. L'edificio originario disponeva di spazi limitati e dipendeva in larga misura dalla luce artificiale. Per ragioni di stabilità strutturale e di contenimento dei costi, il progetto conserva l'intera struttura e vi inserisce un atrio che attraversa verticalmente i tre piani, così che tutte le aule ricevano luce naturale da entrambi i lati. Le colonne diventano alberi e le travi si trasformano in ponti. Scale continue e scivoli si avvolgono a spirale attorno alle colonne, mettendo in connessione gli spazi. Le case sull'albero offrono aree tranquille dedicate alla lettura e alle attività manuali.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The design creates an atrium based on original structure and bring an experience of wandering in the woods. Columns and beams immediately become trees and bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral up around the "trees", connecting and activating spaces. "Tree houses" provide private spaces for children to read and do handwork.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 50000 mm x Depth 24000 mm x Height 15000 mm

- Production Technology
- A series of structure studies optimized the construction logic of the atrium. Columns and beams are transformed into trees and bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral up around the "trees", connecting and activating spaces. "Tree houses" provide private spaces for children to read and do handwork.
- Design Challenge
- It is extremely difficult for individuals or institutions to launch a kindergarten in China since the land policy. The owner and his wife are outstanding preschool educators. They hope to establish a real world-leading kindergarten in China. However, this building with poor sunlight is the only possible site for them. It had limited space and heavily relied on artificial lights, which was against the common expectations of kindergartens.
- Research
- Sunlight, soil and grass are all essential spatial elements to children's growth. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design has kept the entire structure and created an atrium running vertically through three stories. Such design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Through design, a poor building has become a lively kindergarten. It's exciting that this kindergarten is now the best one in south China.
- Inspiration
- The original structure resembled a liner with limited space and poor sunlight. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design keeps the entire structure and create an atrium running vertically through three stories. The design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Columns become trees and beams become bridges to form abundant spatial effects. Taking advantage of the original structure, the atrium transforms the "liner" into a "woodland."
- Project Duration
- Design: 2018.12 Construction: 2019.01-2019.07
- Operation Flow
- The kindergarten thoughtfully considers the needs of children at 2-6. The facilities are benchmarked against the needs of children at 2-6, and distinguish between those for children at 1.5-3 and those for children at 3-6. Classrooms adopt soft colors and materials, creating a home-like space where child can fully express their potentiality.
