THE CASTLE GARDEN

we imagine such a scene-- Children play with the light and shadow, shuttling between indoor & outdoor. The geometric order of the continuous roof and pure thick concrete construct the sense of ritual for this kindergarten,while the variable scale and the infiltration of the yard decompose the non-daily monumentality and construct a peaceful and poetic life.

"Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity." The aim of our project is to create a ‘fortress’ and simultaneously a ‘playground’ for the children. The principal of brutalism is well and alive in the area, with most people considering the Unite d’Habitation by Le Corbusier the grandmother of brutalist architecture.
