KINDERGARTEN

Competition, first price. Recinto do Colexio Bergantiños, Carballo (2006-08)

Space seen through the eyes of a child. We try a more tactile and impressive order, closer to his mind. Strong identities. The classes appear as huts in a forest, with a welcoming form. We avoid edges. To learn you have to fall many times. In the interior the light that arrives through each skylight is white. From the space of the “forest” the walls of each class are colored. The space changes at every step, between the perimeter and the interior or between the red and the green.
