The garden is located in the community of Xuhui Tianlin community, which is more mature. The kindergarten is surrounded by residential clusters, middle schools and primary schools. The total land area of the garden is 3000 square meters and the construction area is 1800 square meters. The south side of the site is Tianlin nursing home, and the west side is Tianlin center green space. In order to better integrate into the surrounding environment, the overall situation of the building tends to Tianlin green space, forming a scattered sense of natural mountains. The original concrete hull shape is abstracted, and the horizontal two-dimensional lines become dynamic, sublimating into three-dimensional and four-dimensional spaces. Under this tension, the internal and external spaces have a more active atmosphere, driving children to enjoy the sunshine and nature. Learn, live and grow in time and space.
The distance between the original building gate and the hall is very close. The entrance hall and the staircase vertical traffic and corridor intersect in one place. There will be crowded crossing during the morning peak hours of morning inspection and class time. The corridor is an internal corridor without direct or indirect daylighting and ventilation. In order to extend the circulation and alleviate the problem of crowd concentration in one place, the main entrance is set in the north and the south, and the hall is open to the activity site. The building and the site form a “8” shape rotation line, and the internal entrance hall and the corridor form a “Cross” shape. Such a circulation planning solves the problem of personnel intersection and effectively disperses personnel.
The main entrance and the corridor form a node in the hall, and the vertical traffic and the corridor form an enlarged spatial node at the sub-entrance, which can be easily retracted. The circulation connecting the north-south and east-west squares continue and face each other in the north-south and east-west square landscapes, forming different scenes for each step and bringing nature into indoors.
