用户是2至6岁的儿童。空间和布局应该对他们有意义。户外学习是一个项目或教育方法，它基于儿童与自然的体验和接触，以及这对他们的训练带来的好处；认知、社会和情感上的好处。对于这种 “新 “的基础设施的设计，没有正式的规定，所以我们确保每一个驱动概念都是建筑师、景观设计师和教师之间创造性过程的结果。

Users are children from 2 to 6 years old. The space and layout should make sense for them. Outdoor learning is a program or educational method which is based on the experience and contact of children with nature and the benefits this brings to their training; cognitive, social, and emotionally-wise benefits. There are no official regulations for designing this “new” kind of infrastructure, so we made sure every driving concept was the result of a creative process between architects, landscape designer,s and teachers.

场地是一块1500平方米的空地，由于拆除了以前的建筑，形成了一个软洼地。这个有点移动的地形被用来创造2个主要的层次，由一个倾斜的花园连接，包围着一个凹陷的沙坑。该项目被布置在该地块周围，作为独立的建筑，由一条椭圆的路径连接。这条连续的路线似乎是一个永无止境的奔跑和游戏体验，驱使每个人穿过沿途不同的花园和地方。一个共同的故事线索，每一个特定的地方、惊喜和经历都作为同一个故事的一部分联系在一起。

The site was an 1500m2 empty lot with a soft depression produced by the demolition a former construction. This somewhat moving topography was used to create 2 main levels connected by a sloping garden that encloses a recessed sand pit. The program was laid out around the lot as individual constructions connected by an elliptical path. The continuous route seems like a never-ending running and playing experience, driving everyone through the different gardens and places along the way. A common thread of a story where every particular place, surprise and experience connects as part of the same story.

一条水流沿着路径流淌。水从最高点进入，流经不同的表面，发出声音，让孩子们伸手触摸，甚至在春天和夏天将脚站在水中。在环路的尽头，水流入一个井，在那里被抽回轨道。也许最具挑战性的问题之一是创造适合集中学习的空间，让孩子们集中在一个特定的主题上，同时能够实现自由的感觉。在学习中，圆形显示出许多好处，因为它提出了双重感知；一方面，它为集中精力和社交创造了一个良好的空间–我们都互相看着对方–另一方面，圆形空间邀请了对空间的游戏性理解。

A water stream flows along the path. Water enters at the highest point and runs through different surfaces creating sounds and allowing for children to reach and touch or even stand feet in the water in spring and summer. At the end of the loop, water runs into a well where it gets pumped back in track. Maybe one of the most challenging issues was to create spaces suitable for concentration learning focused on a specific subject with a reduced group of children while being able to achieve the feeling of freedom. Circular shapes in learning show many benefits as it proposes for a dual perception; on one hand it creates a good space for concentration and sociability – we all look at each other – and on the other hand a circular space invites for a playful understanding of space.

在我们的设计中，几乎每个房间或户外建筑都是圆形的。除了连续的道路和沙坑，还有一个编织篮子一样的房间，一个半高的砖房，以及一个圆形的木架房间。景观设计的目的是，一方面，通过主要由本地树种、草药、杂草和藤蔓组成的不同花园，创造与自然的直接联系。这些花园将在几年后成为气味和颜色的集群，并为炎热的季节提供阴凉。

In our design, almost every room or outdoor construction is circular. Besides the continuous path and the sandpit, there’s a woven basket-like room, a half-height brick room, and a circular timber frame room. The landscape design aims to create, on one hand, a direct connection with nature through different gardens made of mostly native species of trees, herbs, weeds, and vines. These gardens will in a few years become clusters of smells and colors and will provide shade for the hot seasons.

但进一步说，与自然互动作为学习、理解和关爱自然的方式，是景观设计的核心。这里不仅有一个温室和一个桌子上的蔬菜园，而且果树也散布在花园内。它们不仅能提供吃的水果，还能让大家了解季节、花香和时间成长的感觉。大多数元素都使用了手工制作的砖，创造了一个连续的调色板，尽可能多地将土地提供的材料作为游戏和教育的工具。

But furthermore, the idea of interacting with nature as a way of learning, understanding, and caring for nature is at the heart of landscape design. There are not only a greenhouse and a table vegetable orchard, but fruit trees are scattered within the gardens. They will not only provide fruits to eat they will also teach everyone about seasons, flowers smell, and a sense of time growth. Handcrafted brick was used for most of the elements creating a continuous palette that incorporate as many materials as possible that the land offered as tools for play and education.
