架构师提供的文本描述。由于50周年纪念幼儿园的建设还没有达到足够的抗震能力，迫切需要采取措施。

Text description provided by the architects. As building of kindergarten that welcomes 50th anniversary has not been earthquake resistant sufficiently, an urgent measure was required.

我们决定我们的主题是告诉孩子们“化石燃料”

We decided that our main theme is to tell the children “fossil fuel and to use

“由于缺乏抗震救灾能力和幼儿园的教育因素，他们可以”从两个紧急的角度“谨慎地使用”，

what they can use carefully” from two viewpoints of urgency caused as a result of lack of the earthquake resistance and educational element of the kindergarten,

而不是采用通常建造新建筑物的方法，而是使用海运集装箱，利用现有结构加强抗震，并进行翻修，

and not by using an approach where a new building is constructed usually but by constructing using a marine container, reinforcing the earthquake resistance by using the existing structure and renovating,

我们实现了一个短期的建设，向一个可持续的社会提出了建议，减少了大量的二氧化碳，并为儿童创造了一个生态和教育环境。

we realized a construction in short period, suggested to a sustainable society, reduced large volume of carbon dioxide as well as created an ecological and educational environment for the children.

这座建筑是用海运集装箱建造的，它的建造周期比其他通常建造的建筑物要短。

The building was constructed by using the marine container, and it was constructed in the shorter period than other buildings usually constructed.

通过连接节能减排和不改变形式的移动容器，并在不再使用后可重复使用，我们告诉孩子们要小心使用有限的资源。

By connecting to energy saving and reduction of carbon dioxide as well as  using the container that is movable without changing form and can be reused after it is not used any more, we tell the children to use the limited resources carefully.

对于体育馆，采用现有结构进行抗震加固和改造。通过这个，我们告诉孩子们要小心地使用他们能使用的东西。

As for gymnasium, the earthquake resistance is reinforced and renovation is made by using the existing structure. By this, we tell the children to use what they can use carefully.

至于建筑物，我们把容器的粗糙度留在外面，使孩子们很容易找到容器，而在室内则使用他们能充分感受到温暖的木材。通过这一点，他们可以感觉到内与外的比较。

As for the building, we left roughness of the container outside to make the children find the container easily whereas wood where they can feel warmness sufficiently is used inside. By this, they can feel comparison of inside and outside.

我们打算让孩子们发现体育馆是通过离开现有的屋顶来重建的。

We intended to make the children find that the gymnasium was reconstructed by leaving the existing form of roof.

通过向外开放护理室和教师室，人们可以从外面感受到房间里正在发生的事情，那里的人们可以感受到幼儿园经过时正在发生的事情。

By opening the nursing room and teachers’ room toward outside, people can feel what is going on in the room from outside where people in the area can feel what is going on in the kindergarten when they pass.

当我们研究抗震救灾措施时，我们设计了一个幼儿园，它自成立以来就已经存在了50年，它是该地区开放和人们容易来的地区的重要组成部分。

When we worked on the measure of earthquake resistance, we designed that the kindergarten, which has been existing with the area for 50 years since its foundation, is an important part of the area where it is open to the area and people can come easily.

幼儿园名称和班级的标志是在花园里用日语制作的。

Signs of kindergarten name and class were made by using Japanese zelkova in the garden.

通过对建筑中未移除的树木进行设计，在孩子们可以看到和重用的地方，告诉孩子们，作为对全球环境和生态教育的一种考虑，并保持记忆。

By designing the trees, which were not removed in the construction, in the place where the children can see and reusing them, we tell the children as a consideration to global environment and ecological education with continuation of memory.
