Kindergarten for the future

Idea projektu

An architectural study of the so-called dynamic kindergarten is carried out, with an emphasis on purpose-built changes in the possibilities of interior use. The nursery school will be two-class with adequate facilities and operating equipment. Part of the solution will be working with interior elements with regard to children‘s stay in the classroom for younger children as well as older pre-school children with a newly introduced pre-school form of teaching. The design is designed to make prosotr natural to children, at the same time interesting and creating conditions for the development of the child‘s psyche and physical abilities. He should not distract in undesirable cases, but should give himself the opportunity to choose and create his own way of playing and learning. The main theme is folding, subdividing surfaces and spaces into smaller, more gripping parts. Just like the learning process, where information is gradually folded into the overall picture so that it becomes more grasping to begin with.

Architectural solution The mass of the object is divided into three functional units which are connected by a single-storey glass open ‘glass window’. The entrance hall with staff facilities and classes for children are placed in these separate volumes, which are identical in form. Only dimensionally do they differ slightly. It is a classic shape of a house with a saddle roof without overlaps. The impression created is not as voluminous and massive as if the plants were inserted into a single block or other shape. The glass horizontal space that connects the three ‘houses’ ensures the interconnection of the spaces, creating a large common play space between the two classes. Interior and furniture The main materials of the mobiliary and interior are light wood, spruce, oak for more susceptible furniture, larch. Also is used recycled plastic and on the marmoleum and vinyl floor vith color pattern. Some details are handled in stainless steel. Colorful additions include fabrics, drapes, smaller elements and games. The domimant element is the chairs, which also function as a puzzle and can be colour-changing.

The construction of the building is mainly made of wood. On the one hand, the material chosen is pleasant in space, and on the other, it is a renewable material, which, among other things, encourages this approach in children. CLT panels combined with wooden support columns were selected. The foundation and construction underground is due to the load and humidity from concrete. If the high central wall in the entrance building did not comply statically, the possibility of using reinforced concrete is also considered. The construction of the roofs is made of wooden bonded ties at an angle of 38° connected by horizontal beams. The volume of the fallout is mainly the hardwood glass surfaces of the insulating windows. The greenhouse may be made of less insulating glass and should be ventilable across. The ceilings are on the rafters. Underneath are sub-clans for guiding installations. Ceilings in classrooms can have a simpler composition consisting of a supporting layer, step insulation and wooden flooring and parquet with an infinite pattern motif. The ceiling in the inlet building should be better acoustically and step insulating as less heated spaces are found underneath. The flooring matrix is coatings of vinyl and marmoles, teracco and concrete in the operating areas and wooden in the classrooms and galleries.
