Taojiang Road (also known as Route Henri Riviere) is the former French Concession in Shanghai, opposite No. 42 is the former residence of Soong Ching Ling and Sun Yat-sen, and to the west and north are the American Consulate and French consular officers. The design concept is to divide the city, to separate the surrounding urban buildings from the scattered nature, and to reorganize. The superimposed and scattered white wall strips blur the layers, creating horizontal tension, and making the surrounding "nature" cohesive. The horizontal extension of the wall strips successfully borrows the scenery outside the garden to the garden, which seems to be in the forest. The white and simple logic give the children more imagination space. The centennial Magnolia magnolia, a symbol of Shanghai's flower garden, and the spirit of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, a great forpioneer of the Chinese national revolution, are displayed in the east entrance of the external wall mechanism and the second floor of the activity classroom "tree" window in an Oriental "implicit" way. The classrooms and other functional Spaces are arranged around a central staircase that receives light from skylights, ensuring that all Spaces have good direct light and ventilation. The renovation and expansion of this almost collapsed bar solves the problem of preschool education in the international community, and also gives another possibility to the stereotypical preschool education buildings in China.
