架构师提供的文本描述。由于最近儿童人数一直在减少，兄弟姐妹的人数也在减少。因此，不同年龄的儿童之间没有很强的联系。

Text description provided by the architects. As number of children has been decreasing recently, the number of brothers and sisters is decreasing in proportion to it. As a result, the children in different ages are not connected strongly.

另一个问题是，由于上述事实，无法很好地与他人沟通的儿童人数一直在增加。这个网站位于我们可以看到这一趋势显著的地区。

It is also a problem that the number of children who cannot communicate with others well has been increasing due to above fact. This site is located in the area where we can see this tendency remarkably.

在这类区域中，我们以“连接”为核心概念，通过设计楼层规划，为孩子们创造了一个可以随时感受到周围人的环境。在这样的环境下，我们不单止在入口的尽头设置通讯空间，让他们看到区内的居民和幼稚园毕业的学生，还会设置按年龄分类的花园，让其他年龄的儿童可以看见。

In this kind of area, by using “connection” as a key concept, we set an environment where the children can feel those around them each other all the time by designing floor planning. In this environment, we also set not only communication space at the end of the entrance where they can see residents in the area and those who graduated from the kindergarten but also the garden classified by age where the children of other ages can see.

我们计划增加孩子们在玩耍时与大自然和其他人交流的机会。它创造了一种环境，使他们能够发展与他人的沟通和对他人的考虑。

We planned to increase the opportunity where the children can communicate with nature and others while they are playing. It created an environment where they develop communication with others and consideration to others.

作为一个整体结构，我们把建筑物布置得像河边的小屋一样，这是很久以前这个地区的景象。

As a whole structure, we arranged the buildings as if they were the huts along the river, which had been scene of the area long time ago.

屋顶按方向和功能连接并具有等级。它通过产生建筑物天花板的高度差异来提供空间的上下，并吸引了孩子们的好奇心。

The roofs are connected and have grade in accordance with direction and function. It provides up and down in space by producing a difference of height of the ceiling in the building, and draws children’s curiosity. 

值得注意的是餐厅。在餐厅里，舒适的风通过屋顶相连的高边框吹过，这是一个舒适而明亮的空间。

What is noticeable is dining room. In the dining room, comfortable wind blows through by high side sash that is connected by roofs, and it is a comfortable and bright space.

连接建筑物所产生的空间被用作庭院和按年龄分类的花园。我们计划天井的大小要有一个适当的距离，孩子们可以在相同的水平上看到。在儿童厕所、图画书部分、面向露台的婴儿餐厅和托儿室中，可以建立起在生活中自然相见的关系。

The space that is produced by connecting the buildings is used as patio and the garden classified by age. We planned size of the patio to have an appropriate distance where the children can see on the same level. In toilet for the children, section of picture book, dining room and nursery room for infant that face the patio, they can establish the relationship that they can see each other naturally in life.

对于按年龄分类的园林，不仅根据其生长的差异进行划分，而且还安排他们在划分时能看到其他年龄的孩子。我们创造了一个环境，让其他年龄或同龄人的孩子通过每个花园一起学习，相互感受。

Regarding the garden classified by age, it is divided not only by difference of their growing but also is arranged that they can see the children of other ages each other while dividing. We created an environment where the children of other ages or the same age learn together through each garden, and feel each other.

这一楼层规划不仅产生了儿童之间的关系，而且也产生了幼儿园教师之间的关系。这意味着它有助于托儿所教师之间的沟通。

This floor planning produces not only the relationship among children but also the one that teachers of the nursery school see each other. It means that it contributes to communication among the teachers of the nursery school.

从沿河自助餐厅的形象衍生出来的空间，可以在入口处放松而不脱鞋。这是一个家长和托儿所，以及地区和儿童可以交流的地方。

A space that is derived from image of cafeteria along the river where they can relax without taking off shoes is set around entrance. It is a place where parents and nursery school as well as the area and the children can communicate.

由于上述事实，我们确保了比以前更多的沟通，我们可以期待着这所幼儿园的孩子们的成长。

As a result of above facts, we made sure that more communication has been realized than before, and we can look forward to growth of the children in this nursery school.
