Medo Brundo Kindergarten by njiric + arhitekti

The project is developed from three questions: How to design a kindergarten in a very small field? What if field receives a shadow of a large block 9 story from the south side? What if the site is surrounded by high traffic roads?. The kindergarten was designed from the outset as a building a level, compact, introverted, hard-edged. On the site, the building away from the shadows and folds to reach the sun.

The local suburban parent is replicated in the small structure units and patios. This full and empty model is repeated vertically Transforming terraced patios and corridors in stairways. The perimeter of the building is continuous and closedExcept in west facade, glazed to socially interact with the surrounding neighborhood. A tribute to the American artist Dan Graham (“An Alteration of the Suburban House, 1978).

The design offers a variety of open spaces, courtyards, terraces and roof garden. You can leave a large playground in the area not built in the back. The interior is organized as a sequence of spaces linked to “Street Children”. Its significance and the many gaps, along with transparencies and PANTONE colors selected Try to create a scenario for a true experience “urban” child.

Facilities children and teachers are fully intertwined. This innovation reflects a series of typological teaching relationships. A child can see a person working on the computer, other counting money, sewing clothes and making dinner, a person receiving the goods, controlling the heating or repairing furniture. Walking through “street children” can be viewed all professions aligned right and left, as an everyday situation in the city. An introduction to real life.
