超越城市中的典型幼儿园
“花+幼儿园 “是一个项目，位于韩国首都首尔。在首尔，人们对具有更好环境的教育设施有着迫切的需求，因为城市中的大多数幼儿园都是在反映经济价值、法规和高度密集的城市中的小块土地的情况下，以高密度的不良建筑设计而建成。

Beyond the typical kindergartens of the city
“Flower+ Kindergarten” is a project, located in Seoul, the capital city of Korea. In Seoul, there are demanding needs for education facilities with better environment, since the most of the kindergartens in the city have been built with the high density of poor architectural design by reflecting economic values, regulations and small lot sizes in the highly dense city.

为了克服城市中典型的幼儿园问题，”花+幼儿园 “项目寻找机会，在小而密集的场地条件下，为更好的教育环境寻找建筑解决方案，面对首尔的典型问题。该项目位于新的公寓区，附近有Yang-je溪流公园和其他小型口袋公园，孩子们可以在大自然中自由安全地玩耍。幼儿园项目的设计是利用周围的绿地和开放空间，让孩子们接触大自然，同时在幼儿园的密度和空间价值之间取得平衡，以培养他们。

To overcome the typical kindergarten’s problems in the city, the project “Flower+ Kindergarten” looked for opportunities to find out architectural solutions for better educational environments in the small and dense site conditions, facing typical problems of Seoul. The project is located in the new apartment complex, nearby the Yang-je stream park and other small pocket parks where children can play freely and safely in the nature. The kindergarten project is designed to take advantage of the surrounding green areas and open spaces to expose children to the nature while balancing between density and spatial value of the kindergarten to nurture them.

花+幼儿园 “项目是为教育以及儿童与自然的互动提供一个动态的物理环境，同时实现城市中幼儿园的密度。为了实现这一目标，我们引入了多功能厅，而不是典型的韩国幼儿园的双层走廊，它们通过连接各楼层的垂直长廊螺旋式上升，使幼儿园可以有更多的利用空间和多样化的教育环境。它将是一个让孩子们在每天成长的同时体验动态学习和自然变化的地方。

The “Flower+ Kindergarten” project is about providing a dynamic physical environment for education as well as interactions between children and the nature, while achieving the density for the kindergarten in the city. To achieve it, multi-purpose halls are introduced instead of the typical Korean kindergarten’s double-loaded corridors and they are spiraling up through vertical promenades connecting between floors so that the kindergarten can have more utilized space and diverse educational environment. It will be a place for children to experience dynamic learning and the change of nature while growing everyday.

高层公寓中的小地标
幼儿园将成为附近社区的一个地标。它独特的位置和形状将在同质化的社区中提供一个当地的地标，在那里每个公寓楼看起来都一样。它将为孩子们和邻居们提供一个寻路功能。

Small Landmark among the Highrise Apartments
The kindergarten becomes a local landmark in the neighborhood community. Its unique location and shape will provide a local landmark in the homogeneous neighborhood, where every apartment buildings look the same. It will provide a way finding function for both children and neighbors.

每间教室的个性
每层楼有三个教室和一个多功能厅，根据当地规定，教室的最大面积应超过44平方米。多用途厅可以满足流通以及学习和游戏空间的多样化使用。在多功能厅，孩子们可以通过圆形的墙壁认出他们的教室，因为每间教室可以通过其体积而不是数字或文字作为一个可识别的体量而脱颖而出。每个教室的圆角给人一种舒适的感觉，同时它也是一个建筑解决方案，为多功能厅和教室之间提供通道。

Individuality of Each Classroom
On each floor, there are three classrooms and one multi-purpose hall at its maximum floor area as the classroom should be more than 44m2 by the local regulations. The multi-purpose hall can accommodate circulations as well as diverse use of space for learning and playing. At the multi-purpose hall, children can recognize their classrooms through the rounded walls, because each classroom can stand out as an identifiable mass through its volumes rather than numbers or texts. The rounded corner of each classroom gives an cozy feeling at the hall, while it is also an architectural solution to provide access among the multi-purpose hall and classrooms.

儿童的垂直长廊
虽然不同层次的计划共享结构墙，反复提供有效的施工和规划，但多功能厅的旋转位置为幼儿园的内部空间提供了动态的空间体验。在每一层，多功能厅创造了螺旋式的通道和运动。通过这种循环，孩子们可以在垂直方向上体验动态的空间和空间变化，并在不同的楼层之间混杂在一起。楼梯下面和上面创造的空间被利用来作为儿童规模的儿童游戏室。

Vertical Promenade for Children
While plans at different levels shares structural walls repeatedly provide efficient construction and planning, the rotating locations of the multi-purpose halls give a dynamic spatial experience for the kindergarten’s interior space. At each level the multipurpose halls create spiral access and movement. Through this circulation children can experience dynamic space and spatial change vertically and mingle together between different levels. The space created below and above the stair is utilized for children’s play-den at children’s scale.

色彩识别和色彩敏感的环境
从内部来看，每层楼的天花板和墙壁都被赋予了不同的颜色，这样儿童就可以通过颜色差异来识别空间。天花板、墙壁和窗框之间存在着微妙的差异，因此，幼儿园的建筑环境鼓励儿童对色彩的敏感性。通过白天和黑夜的时间变化，颜色的变化是不同的。在白天，白色的内墙通过反射的日光被赋予了天花板的颜色，因为颜色被反射进来。相反，在夜间，颜色通过建筑内部的人工照明被反射到外面的街道上。每个教室都有一个带有投影框的大窗户，它被涂上了自己指定的颜色，以便从街道上提供教室位置和存在的线索。孩子们可以从街上通过投影窗的颜色和位置来识别自己的教室。

Color Recognition and Color Sensitive Environment
From the inside, each floor is assigned with different color on its ceiling and walls so that children can recognize the space through the color difference. There are subtle difference between ceiling, wall and window frames thus the kindergarten’s built environment encourage children’s color sensitivity. Through the change of time between day and night, the color is brimming out differently. During the day time, the white interior walls are imbued with ceiling color through the reflected daylight, as the color is reflected in. To the contrary, during night time, the color is reflected out toward the street through the building’s artificial lighting inside. Each classroom has a large window with projected frames, which are colored with its own designated colors to give a clue about the classroom’s location and presence from the street. Children can identify their own classroom from the street through the color and location of the projected window.

用于季节性种植的口袋板
外墙板将有额外的功能，成为种植的盆子。在韩国，户外垂直墙面系统是有问题的，尤其是在极端的冬季。从春天到秋天的各个季节，人们可以在袖珍墙板上种植植被，并按照植被的季节性周期进行种植。种植活动可以成为学校的儿童课程的一部分。在韩国的极端冬季，他们几乎不会有植物存活，但作为一个立体的外墙，起伏的墙板具有视觉功能。因此，在不同的季节，建筑的外墙将随着种植条件和植被种类而发生巨大的变化。

Pocket Panels for Seasonal Planting
Exterior wall panels will have extra function of becoming pots for planting. In Korea, outdoor vertical wall system is problematic especially for its extreme winter. Through seasons from spring to fall, people can plant vegetation in the pocket wall panels and grow them following the vegetation’s seasonal cycles. The growing activities can be a part of the school’s curriculum for children. During the extreme winter in Korea, they will hardly have plants survived but have visual functions as a three-dimensional facade, undulating wall panels. Thus, the facade of the building will change dramatically across different seasons, following the planting conditions and the kind of vegetation.

阳光、风、水和植被
通过将种植盆作为其外立面系统（口袋板），幼儿园为孩子们提供了种植和密切观察植被的机会。屋顶花园和下沉式花园为儿童和教职员工提供了额外的便利，让他们在日常生活中体会到大自然的价值。雨水通过地面和屋顶花园被收集到地下室的雨水箱中，以重复使用这些水进行灌溉。屋顶上的光伏板和每个教室的自然通风窗提高了整个建筑在一年中的性能。

Sun, Wind, Water and Vegetation
By having planting pots as its exterior façade system (Pocket panel), the kindergarten provides opportunities for children to grow and observe vegetation closely. The rooftop garden and sunken garden provides extra amenities to both children and teaching staffs to appreciate the value of nature in their everyday life. The rainwater is gathered in the rainwater tank on the basement through the ground and rooftop garden to reuse the water for irrigation. The photovoltaic panels on the roof and natural ventilation windows for each classroom enhance the overall building performance through the year.
