翰祥景观：什么样的幼儿园才算是理想的幼儿园？一八学校幼儿园（理想国校区）设计初期，这个问题一直盘旋在我们脑中。

2007年，手冢贵晴的富士幼儿园以自由开放的氛围，对培养孩子的好奇心、自信心、主动精神、与人交往的能力等方面都有促进作用，成为“世界上最优秀的教育建筑”，将以教育理念为目的导向的幼儿园设计推向流行。

Horizon & Atomesphere Landscape: What kind of kindergarten is the ideal one? This problem has been circling in our mind from the early stage of the design of One Infinity Academy, Kindergarten (the Ideal Land Campus).

In 2007, Takaharu Tezuka’s Fuji Kindergarten has become “the most outstanding educational building” in the world through the promotion of children’s curiosity, self-confidence, initiative, and ability to communicate with others in a free and open atmosphere. Thus, he pushed the educational concept-oriented kindergarten design into fashion.

理想的幼儿园，最终还是应该落回“幼儿”身上。借助科学的教育理念，运用设计的能量充分支持教育工作者，在3-6岁这个最为重要的阶段，带给幼儿强健的体魄，独立的人格，健康的价值观，良好的学习与认知习惯，潜移默化的美商，或许就能更加接近目标。

因此，一八学校幼儿园的设计以理想幼儿园的调查研究开展，设计过程中与园长进行了多次多维度的探讨，希望能更加接近理想中的幼儿园面貌。

An ideal kindergarten should ultimately focus on “children”. With the help of scientific educational concepts, kindergarten designers should use their designs to fully support educators, bring children strong physique, independent personality, healthy values, good learning and cognitive habits, and osmosis beauty quotient at 3-6 years old (this most important stage).

Therefore, the design of One Infinity Academy Kindergarten is based on the investigation and research of the “ideal kindergarten”. During the design process, we conducted many times of multi-dimensional discussions with the principal, hoping to get closer to the ideal kindergarten.

▽一八学校幼儿园（理想国校区）场地方案计划 The site plan of One Infinity Academy Kindergarten (the Ideal Land Campus)

大自然是最好的启蒙老师—Nature is the best enlightenment teacher —

一八学校幼儿园（理想国校区）拥有很好的基础环境资源。

园长经验丰富，善于运用自然资源，具备丰富的教育经验，并对运动教育，自然教育培养积累了饱满的师资力量。

园一楼拥有7860平米的户外用地，楼顶还有1480平米可用于建设。所处的理想国社区，不仅拥有网球场、棒球场、足球场、篮球场等等多种比赛标准场地，还拥有河滨、湖区、林地等丰富多样的自然生境。

One Infinity Academy Kindergarten (the Ideal Land Campus) has great basic environmental resources.

The principal of the kindergarten has rich educational experience and is very good at using natural resources. He has assembled plenty of teachers for sports education and natural education.

The first floor of the kindergarten has an outdoor area of 7,860 square meters, meanwhile there is another 1,480 square meters on the roof that to be constructed. The Utopia community, where the kindergarten is located, not only has tennis courts, baseball fields, football fields, basketball courts and other standard venues for competitions, but also has rich and diverse natural habitats such as riversides, lake areas, and woodlands.

▽幼儿园在理想国社区的生态观察活动 The kindergarten’s ecological observation activities in the Ideal Land community

自然环境下，无需宣导春种秋收的付出与收获，不用解释蝌蚪与青蛙的关系，不用系统的说明保护环境的意义。通过户外课程，小朋友能在快乐的游玩与观察中，自然而然的了解学习自然规律，发挥想象力与创造力，体会生态的意义，亲身感受栽种的辛苦与收获的喜悦，培养对万物的责任心，并在团体活动中自由的锻炼交往的能力。

老师带领小朋友接触自然、认识自然，大自然就成为小朋友最好的启蒙老师。充分利用环境优势，将幼儿教育最大限度的挪到户外进行，以自然的力量，带领幼儿成长。

In the natural environment, we don’t need to publicize the meaning of spring planting and autumn harvest, or explain the relationship between tadpoles and frogs, or systematically explain the significance of protecting the environment. Through outdoor courses, children can naturally understand and learn the laws of nature, develop their imagination and creativity, and appreciate the meaning of ecology in the joyful play and observation. By personally experiencing the hard work of planting and the joy of harvesting, children can cultivate their sense of responsibility for all things, and also freely exercise their ability to communicate in group activities.

Teacher leads children to get in touch with and understand nature, and meanwhile nature would become the best enlightenment teacher for children. We can make full use of the advantages of the environment through moving preschool education to the outdoors to the greatest extent, and use the power of nature to lead children to grow.

— 小小的幼儿园，充满浓缩的大自然 — Small kindergarten, but full of concentrated nature —

为了实现上述构想，幼儿园的设计以“浓缩的自然”发想。从材料、色彩、空间塑造等多个角度呈现丰富的自然，助力幼儿园的户外教育。

To realize the above ideas, the design of the kindergarten is based on “concentrated nature”, which presents rich nature from multiple perspectives such as materials, colors, and space shaping, to help conduct kindergartens’ outdoor education.

▽幼儿园的自然课堂 Nature class in the kindergarten

▽自然课堂的授课更加轻松自由 The teaching of nature class is more relaxed and free

大自然的环境里，周围本身应有很多噪音与杂音，常常待在特别安静的空间里，你就可能只能听到自己的声音。把课堂搬到户外，让大家不那么规整的围坐，给每个小朋友足够的自由，选择自己喜欢的位置，减少小朋友的社交压力。课程过程中，可能有鸟叫，可能风吹树叶沙沙作响，这些自然的杂音，反而能让小朋友提高专注力，关注到课程讲述的内容。

In the natural environment, there should be a lot of noise around. While you may only hear your own voice if you always stay in a particularly quiet space. By moving the classroom to the outdoors, everyone can sit around not that regularly, so that each child could have enough freedom to choose their favorite position, and moreover reduce the social pressure of children. There may be birds chirping, or the wind rustling leaves during the class. These natural noises, on the contrary, can help children improve their concentration, and let them pay more attention to the content of the course

▽在自由的环境里做有意思的事情，每个小朋友都很认真 Every child is serious about doing interesting things in a free environment

▽没上课的时候，小朋友也喜欢到这里跑跑跳跳，写写画画 Children also like to run, play, write and draw here when there is no class

接触自然的另外一种方式就是材料，我们大量的使用木屑、树皮、圆石子、鹅卵石等自然材料来做设计。

道路也有很多种材料构成，我们希望大家能感受木屑的松软，小石头的凹凸不平，体会不同材料温度的差异，这种直观的触觉能帮助小朋友更真切的了解自然。

Another way to get in touch with nature is through materials. We use a lot of natural materials such as wood chips, bark, and pebbles for designing.

The road is also composed of many kinds of materials. We hope that everyone can feel the softness of wood chips and the unevenness of small stones, and experience the difference in temperature of different materials. This intuitive touch can help children to understand nature more clearly.

▽所有材料都取自自然 All materials are taken from nature

▽其中最受小朋友欢迎的就是小石子 One of the most popular materials among children is pebbles

自然的材料也发展出惊喜。

小朋友们发现，惊蛰之后，就会在木屑树皮和石子路上发现小虫子，因此领悟到惊蛰节气的含义，赞叹先人的智慧。

大家还惊讶的发现，木头上可以长木耳，木屑地面上会冒出小蘑菇，这些都成为很好的教育素材，让小朋友体会自然的神奇力量，赞叹生命的多样与顽强。

Natural materials can also bring surprises.

Children found that after Jing Zhe (the Awakening of Insects, one of the 24 Solar Terms), they would find small bugs on the wood chips, bark and gravel roads, so that they can understand the meaning of Jing Zhe, and praise the wisdom of their ancestors.

They were also surprised to find that fungus can grow on the wood, and small mushrooms can emerge from the sawdust ground. These have become good educational materials, allowing children to experience the magical power of nature and admire the diversity and tenacity of life.

▽老师带着小朋友们寻找蘑菇 The teacher took the children to look for mushrooms

▽找到蘑菇的时候，小朋友会都聚过来观看 Children would gather around to observe the mushroom when they were found

在色彩方面，摈弃传统模式中丰富鲜艳的人工色彩，幼儿园更多以大地色系呈现，即使是弹性地垫操场也不例外。我们希望真实的还原大自然，用树木与植被，呈现自然中的色彩魔法。减少过于浓烈的人工彩色，让经历等待才能看到的自然的色彩，教给小朋友自然四季的规则。

In terms of color, we abandoned the rich and bright artificial colors in the traditional mode, and presented the kindergarten more in earth tones, even the elastic mat playground. We hope to truly restore nature, using trees and vegetation to present the colorful magic in nature. We want to teach the children the rules of the natural four seasons by reducing the strong artificial colors and using natural colors that can only be seen through waiting.

▽一楼地垫、滑梯都采用大地色系，与整体环境融为一体 Floor mats and slides on the first floor are all in earth tones, blending in with the overall environment

春天的时候，小朋友会从自然中学到等待与珍惜，从花骨朵冒出来的时候开始期待，漂亮的花儿今天会不会开。等树木的叶子越来越多，越来越绿的时候，夏天来了，这个时候的花花草草最多也最丰富。秋天的时候，绿绿的院子有些变黄，有些则变红。到了霜降，跟着老师学习如何制作柿饼，看着柿子慢慢的变化，从中体会劳动的乐趣。

In spring, children will learn to wait and cherish from nature, and start expecting if the beautiful flowers would bloom today when they saw the flower buds emerge. When the leaves of the trees are getting more and more green, which means summer is coming. Flowers and plants are the most abundant at this time. In autumn, some green parts of the yard turn yellow, while others red. At Shuang Jiang (the Frost’s Descent, one of the 24 Solar Terms), children can learn how to make persimmons with the teacher, watching the persimmons slowly change, and experiencing the joy of labor.

▽小朋友在幼儿园里寻找春天 Children are looking for spring in the kindergarten

▽树上挂满晾晒中的柿子 The tree is full of drying persimmons

▽幼儿园霜降晒柿子课程记录 The course record of children drying persimmons in kindergarten at Shuang Jiang (the Frost’s Descent)

— 用孩子的眼睛看世界 — See the world through children’s eyes —

小朋友眼中的世界，和成年人有很大不同。

3-6岁的小朋友们，尤其乐衷于用身体探索周围的世界。在幼儿园的自然庭院，以小朋友的视角出发，设计了能提供多样不同体会的游乐设施，鼓励小朋友进行探索。

小朋友会排队登上塔楼，探头去寻找在水泥管中匍匐躲藏的同伴，平衡木上进行相互角力，看看谁可以坚持到最后。

The world seen by children is very different from that of adults.

Children aged 3-6 are especially fond of exploring the world around them with their bodies. In the natural yard of the kindergarten, from the perspective of children, we designed some amusement facilities that can provide various of different experiences, encouraging children to explore.

Children will line up to climb the tower, stretch out their heads to find their companions who are crawling and hiding in the cement pipe. They can also wrestle with each other on the balance beam to see who can persist standing until the end.

夏天的时候，可以在旱溪中玩水，有的小朋友按压水泵，也有小朋友光着脚丫到旱溪里，把同伴刚刚泵出的水流踩出水花。在这些集体玩耍中，大家会彼此互动、交流，从游戏中自然的学习社会性的规则。

In summer, children can play in the dry creek. Some children pressed the water pump, and others stepped into the dry stream with their bare feet and stepped on the water that their companions had just pumped out. In these group games, children will interact and communicate with each other, and naturally learn social rules from it.

▽分工合作盛水，拿到沙坑进行创作 Children work together to fill the bucket

▽试探着进入旱溪 Children are tentatively entering the dry creek with water and take it to the sandpit for creation

在成人眼中早已习惯的光影变化，水滴敲打玻璃的声音，对于小朋友而言，都是生动有趣的存在，能饶有兴趣的观察并与之互动。建筑边缘扩宽伸出的风雨连廊，成为十分实用的场地，不仅能让室内外空间更好的过渡，雨雪天气也有机会在这里活动。

The light and shadow changes, and the sound of water droplets hitting the glass, which for the adults, they have long been accustomed to; while for children, they are vivid and interesting existences. Children can observe and interact with them with great interest. The widening and protruding corridors at the edge of the building has become a very practical venue, which not only allows a better transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, but also provides opportunities for conducting activities here when rainy or snowy.

▽春季时，小朋友在连廊下吹泡泡，吃午饭 In spring, children can blow bubbles and eat lunch in the corridor

屋顶的空间，在成人眼中，意味着更加辽阔的视野，但在小朋友眼里，视线越不出栏杆，却感受到蓝天白云近在眼前。因此，我们在屋顶堆砌简单的地形，对成人而言起伏并不明显，小朋友却可以趴在上面爬行，也能躺在坡上，感受和蓝天白云的零距离接触。

The space on the roof means a wider vision for adults; while in the eyes of children, even they cannot see beyond the railings, they can feel the blue sky and white clouds closer. Therefore, we piled up really simple terrain on the roof that its ups and downs are not obvious to adults. Meanwhile, children can crawl on it, or lie on the slope, feeling the direct contact with the blue sky and white clouds.

屋顶设置迷你农场，成为重要的教学道具。老师会把农场交给各个班级的小朋友“认养”，大家都十分重视自己的责任田，从种植、浇水、捉虫、施肥，亲力亲为。同班同学自行安排，会有小朋友“值班”，每天上去照看自己班级的小麦。

理想国幼儿园除了常规的五大领域课程，还设置了节气美学课程。在芒种节气系列课程中，从栽种到收获，教小朋友如何种植，并将麦子加工成食物。屋顶的收成不太多，因为屋顶会有雀鸟去啄食小麦。小朋友也会去驱赶雀鸟，从中了解自然的规律，理解收成的不易。

A mini farm is constructed on the roof, which becomes an important teaching prop. Teachers will hand over the farm to the children from each class for “adoption”. Children work on it by themselves and everyone attaches great importance to their own responsibility field, from planting, watering, catching insects, fertilizing, etc. Classmates can make their own arrangements, and there will be child who is “on duty” and go up to take care of the wheat of their class every day.

In addition to the regular courses in the five major fields, kindergarten in the Ideal Land community also set up a Solar Term Aesthetics course. In the Mang Zhong (the Grain in Ear, one of the 24 Solar Terms) series courses, teachers would teach children how to plant and process wheat into food from planting to harvesting. There is not too much harvest on the roof, because there will be birds on the roof pecking the wheat. Children will also drive away birds, from which they can understand the laws of nature and the tough of harvesting.

▽小朋友自行照顾班级的责任田 Children would take care of the responsibility field of the class by themselves

— 从真实的自然汲取力量 — Drawing power from real nature —

在营造自然的园区环境时，我们获得了园长的鼎力支持。

真实的自然环境往往有一定的风险，在与园长共识之下，我们控制跌倒跌落风险的度，但不去采用护栏设施。因为自然中并没有护栏这件事情，小朋友应该从真实的自然里汲取力量。

人一生接触的环境，不可能都有人为你保驾护航。就在2022年，为了探秘打卡，有些人无视自然景区“危险”的立牌，擅自进入山洞、山崖溪涧，不幸遭遇塌方、泥石流的事故。这些事故的发生，多少与现代人习惯照料周全的城市生活，对大自然缺乏敬畏之心，对危险缺少识别能力有关。

When creating the natural environment for the kindergarten, we received the full support of the principal.

The real natural environment often has certain risks. In consensus with the principal, we controlled the extent of risk of falls without using guardrail facilities. Because there is no such guardrail in nature, and children should draw strength from the real nature.

It is impossible for people to escort you in the surrounding environment throughout your life. In 2022, in order to explore for secrets, some people ignored the “Dangerous” signs of natural scenic spots and entered caves, cliffs and streams without authorization, and unfortunately encountered landslides and mudslides. The occurrence of these accidents is more or less related to the fact that modern people are accustomed to a well-cared-for city life, that they are lack awe of nature, and the ability to recognize dangers.

▽小朋友们谨慎小心的攀爬这些高低不一的木桩，老师会在附近观察照看 Children are carefully climbing these wooden piles of different heights, and teachers would observe and take care of them nearby

小朋友在幼儿园需要获得成长的照顾，也需要学习辨识危险的能力。通过一定的“危险”教育，帮助小朋友建立自我保护的意识，培养自我保护的能力，会比严防死守，不让小朋友受一点点伤来的受益更多。

这样的设计对园方提出不少挑战，需要老师们对这些设施提供更高的关注，另一方面，家长的理解与家庭生活中的提醒和教育也非常重要。在投入使用的近两年时间，并未出现因此造成的纠纷，家长们能理解支持这样的教育理念，小朋友们也非常喜欢这些设施，自己把握轻重，知道保护自己，并帮助他人。这些实际的经验也验证了真实的自然能产生的能量。

Children need to be cared for as they grow up in kindergarten, and they also need to learn the ability to recognize danger. Through certain “dangerous” education, we can help children to establish the awareness of self-protection and cultivate the ability of self-protection, which would benefit more than taking strict precautions and preventing children from being any injured.

Such a design poses many challenges to the kindergarten, requiring teachers to pay more attention to these facilities. On the other hand, parents’ understanding, as well as their reminders and education in family life are also very important. In the past two years since the kindergarten was put into use, there was no disputes caused by it. Parents can understand and support this educational concept, and children also like these facilities very much. Moreover. children themselves are starting to know how to protect themselves and help others. These practical experiences have also verified the energy produced by the real nature.

▽自然中不可能存在完全安全的环境，小朋友玩耍的过程也在学习辨别危险 It is impossible to have a completely safe environment in nature, and children can learn to identify dangers when playing around
