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.<\/strong>\u00a0Five sides of a hexagon accommodate a classroom each, while the sixth side is for shared circulation or a public space. The classrooms<\/strong> <\/span><\/em><\/a>are located on the upper floors of the volumes to maximize the natural light access and ventilation. Other activities \u2014 music and\u00a0art studios, a library, a multipurpose hall<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span>, a kitchen, and teachers\u2019 offices \u2014 are located on the lower floors.<\/p>\n

The courtyards differ in their character and materiality:\u00a0PERFORM<\/a>\u00a0designed the one-story courtyard for the junior grade, and covered it with a lawn.<\/strong>\u00a0The middle-grade children migrate to the second courtyard, which features a mound-like wooden platform, and is the roof of the multipurpose hall below. As the third courtyard is thought to host more mature kids, the architects proposed concrete paving which can also collect rainwater and turn into a shallow wading pool during the warm season.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

While each courtyard seems to clearly belong to each different grade, the open circulation spaces and shortcuts between the courtyards allow the children to easily explore other less familiar spaces. The spiritual center of the kindergarten<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/em>is an outdoor amphitheater that slopes down from the mound of the second courtyard, partially covered by the roof of the third courtyard. The closes adjacency between the volumes gives children a possibility to step out onto the roof terrace of the neighboring hexagon, and enjoy diverse outdoor activities.<\/p>\n
