架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑位于一个高密度的商业区。由于场地面积有限，项目需要教室和操场之间的亲密和安全关系，我们将该建筑分为两层，并将操场作为其中的一部分组织起来。因此，外部框架清楚地定义了安全但透明的幼儿园区域。从一开始，由于政策不稳定，预计未来的计划会发生变化。采用系统而又有特色的混凝土框架，只对建筑物的基本组织结构进行设计，如功能分区、光照条件、风流等。我们在每层楼高设置了两根结构梁，用于必要开口的框架化，并使结构与支撑圆弯一起变得更硬。在这些开口中，我们放置了各种门窗和长凳作为发起人，以加强儿童和看护者之间的沟通。因此，作为一个孩子的王国，这座混凝土建筑获得了一种亲密的气氛。

Text description provided by the architects. The building is located at a high density commercial area.  Since the site area is limited and the program required the intimate and safety relationship between classrooms and playground, we made the building in two stories and organized the playground as a part of it.  Thus the exterior frames clearly define the secured but transparent kindergarten area. From the beginning the future program alternation were expected because of unstable policies.  We took the strategy to design only the basic organization of the building, like functional zoning, light condition, wind flow and so on, by means of systematic and characteristic concrete frames.  We set two structural beams in each floor height to use it for the framing of necessary openings, and to make structure stiffer together with supporting round hunches.  In these openings we put various kind of doors, windows and benches as initiator to enhance the communication among kids and caretakers. As a consequence this concrete building acquired an intimate atmosphere as a kingdom of kids.
