在潘普洛纳(西班牙)的一个年轻社区,MW儿童教育中心最初由其创始人Rocío设想为一个创造、音乐、在实践中学习,甚至最终家庭聚会的地方,因为她理解教育是由孩子周围的整个社区共同努力的结果。因此,她找到了Polo Estudio,要求他们为一个可以发生所有这些接触的空间赋予形状,在那里孩子们有明确的归属感。

In a young neighborhood of Pamplona (Spain) MW Children’s Education Centre was first imagined by its founder, Rocío, as a place for creativity, music, learning by doing, and even eventual family gatherings, in an understanding that education is a joint effort undertaken by the whole community around the kid. Thus, she approached Polo Estudio and asked them to give shape to a space where all these encounters could happen and where kids had a clear sense of belonging.

该项目依赖于一个中央空间装置的创造,其淡绿色的色调、材料和弯曲的几何形状都很独特。它产生了一种全景式的结构,同时它也颠覆了同样的概念,允许在核心区域内有两个对立的空间共存:一个是中心的负责人,而相邻的一个是学生。因此,从主任的非正式办公室,可以监督两个主要教室、走廊和入口大厅里正在发生的事情。在学生的弧形壁龛里,可以发生不同的事情,从戏剧表演到重点学习课程和小型集会聚会。所以,一个空间是用来监视的,另一个空间是用来反叛的,或者是学生们设定的任何事情。老师们把这个后来的空间戏称为斗兽场,看到从孩子们的角度看,这个附属空间有多少可能性。

The project relies on the creation of a central spatial device, distinct in its pale green tonality, materials, and curved geometry. It generates a Panopticon kind of structure while it also subverts the very same concept, by allowing the coexistence of two opposed spaces within the core: one is for the head of the center, and the adjacent one is for students. As such, from the director’s informal office, it is possible to supervise what is happening in the two main classrooms, the corridor, and the entrance hall. In the student’s curved niche different things can take place, from theatre representations to focused study sessions and small assembly gatherings. So, one space is for surveillance, and the other one is for rebellion, or whatever the students set out to do. The teachers have nicknamed this later space as the coliseum, seeing how many possibilities this ancillary space has when looked at from the perspective of the kids.

在建设方面,核心部分是最努力的地方。它的淡绿色调是通过丝质漆木板实现的,其柔和的边缘是通过使用预先处理过的中密度板精心打造的,为了实现完全精确和稳定的曲线,它被建在不同的层中。橡胶地板、吸音天花板和悬挂式照明完成了内部外观,产生了多功能的游戏空间,孩子们可以自由地探索、学习和创造他们自己的世界。

In terms of construction, the core is where most of the effort goes. Its pale green tone is achieved thanks to a silk-lacquered timber paneling, and its soft edges are carefully crafted by using pre-treated medium density boards, built into different layers in order to achieve the curve with total precision and stability. Rubber floors, acoustic ceilings, and suspended lighting finish the internal look, generating versatile spaces for play, where children feel free to explore, learn and create their own worlds.
