架构师提供的文本描述。这所新幼儿园位于长江岛城扬中北郊，是典型的在周边城市化地区房地产开发之前建造的公共教育设施之一。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in the northern outskirt of Yangzhong, an island city in the Yangtze River, this new kindergarten is one of the public education facilities that typically are constructed before the real estate developments of the surrounding upcoming urbanized area.

我国幼儿园实行三级制.这所幼儿园需要容纳三个年级的15个班，总共约450名儿童。为了创造一个更小的规模，我们分别提出了三个六角形庭院，每个六边形的五面对应于五个等级，第六边开放供共享流通或社交空间。

Kindergartens in China adopt a three-grade system. This kindergarten needs to accommodate 15 classes in three grades for a total of approximately 450 children. In order to create a smaller scale, we proposed three hexagonal courtyards for three grades respectively, with five sides of each hexagon corresponding to five classes, and the sixth side open for shared circulation or social spaces.

所有的节目都是围绕着三个庭院组织的，这些庭院的平面形状相同，但楼层数却各不相同，从而形成了重叠和层叠的聚集形式。我们把教室放在每个庭院的顶层，以最大限度地利用它们的自然光线和通风，以及其他在较低层的辅助项目，如音乐、艺术工作室、图书馆、多功能大厅、厨房和教师办公室。

All the programs are organized around three courtyards that have identical plan shapes but varied floor numbers, resulting in an overlapping and cascading massing form. We placed the classrooms on the top floor of each courtyard to maximize their natural light and ventilation, and other supporting programs on the lower floors, such as music, art studios, a library, a multipurpose hall, a kitchen and teachers’ offices.

三院在性质和实质上各不相同。为了方便的进入，孩子们住在最低的一层草坪庭院周围的教室里，有一套游戏和一座树屋，从草坪到屋顶，供孩子们冒险。中等儿童迁移到第二庭院的第二层，那里有一个像土墩一样的木平台，是下面多功能厅的屋顶。对于第三个院子，随着孩子们长大到高年级，变得更加成熟，或者至少他们认为他们是成熟的，我们建议建立一个更普通的庭院，在整个院子里铺水泥。然而，在炎热的天气里，它可以收集雨水，变成一个浅浅的涉水池。

Three courtyards differ in their character and materiality. For easy access, Junior Grade children reside in the classrooms around the lowest one-story lawn courtyard, with playsets and a tree house installed from the lawn to the roof top for children to adventure. Middle Grade children migrate to the second level of the second courtyard, which features a mound-like wooden platform that is the roof of the multipurpose hall below. For the third courtyard, as kids grow to Senior Grade and become more mature, or at least they think they are, we proposed a more normal-looking courtyard with concrete paving throughout. However, it can collect rainwater and turn into a shallow wading pool during hot weather.

虽然每个庭院似乎显然属于不同的等级，但开放的流通空间或庭院之间的捷径允许孩子们轻松地离开自己的庭院，探索那些不那么熟悉的空间。三个庭院并置产生了难以预料的空间复杂性。幼儿园的精神中心是一个室外竞技场，从第二个庭院的土丘向下倾斜，部分由第三个庭院的屋顶覆盖。

While each courtyard seems to clearly belong to each different grade, the open circulation spaces or shortcuts between the courtyards allow the children to easily leave their own courtyard and explore those less familiar spaces. The juxtaposition of three courtyards produces an unpredicted spatial complexity. The spiritual center of the kindergarten is an outdoor amphitheater that slopes down from the mound of the second courtyard, partially covered by the roof of the third courtyard.

庭院之间的紧密邻接，让孩子们可以方便地走到邻近庭院的屋顶露台上，享受各种各样的户外活动，包括透过屋顶天窗窥视下一层教室内部。这条弯弯曲曲的人行道环环相扣，带着孩子们回到自己的院子里。

The close adjacency between the courtyards provides children convenience to step out onto the roof terraces of the neighboring courtyards, and enjoy diverse outdoor activities, including peeking down to the lower floor classroom interiors through the roof skylights. The curvilinear walkways loop around and lead children back to their own courtyard.

教室的外立面被金属百叶窗覆盖，一种颜色对应于一个等级。彩色百叶窗从底层迁移到顶层，无论是在庭院内还是在庭院外都可以看到，这强化了儿童成长的概念，这一概念在这里是在独立的时刻庆祝的，也是在时间上集体庆祝的。

The exterior facades of the classrooms are covered by metal louvers, with one color corresponding to one grade. The migration of the colored louvers from ground floor to the top floor, visible both within and without the courtyards, reinforces the concept of children growth, which is celebrated here both at independent moments in time, and collectively through time.
