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.

Rethink about Brutalism
Nowadays, modular cities tend to homogenize our lives, which split the sense of ritual from our daily life little by little. Maybe it’s time to reawaken Brutalism again, and new Brutalism is no longer a monument that separate from the daily life and celebrate power and heroism, but a place and home that brings the sense of ritual of daily life.
About the site
The site is surrounded by a large number of old residences.we decide to put the kindergarten to the south part of this site, which can release a huge square to open to surrounding communities. It can also use as a city park and transition the relationship between residential area to kindergarten and activate the old communities.
About the layout
due to the limited height(6m) of the site, this project have to develop underground space to meet multiple demands. The central courtyard system slove the lighting problem of underground space and create the duality of inside and outside
