Kindergarten Tokyo : Education Building in Japan

Key Development in Tokyo, Japan - design by Satoshi Ohtaki

10 Sep 2009 Tokyo Kindergarten 'into the wall, over the wall' Design: Satoshi Ohtaki Plan of a Kindergarten in Tokyo. Tried to design a structure as a something like a toy because structure means nothing to children. The site has a nice view in north-south direction though it is in a high dense area in Tokyo. To keep its open atmosphere, I decided to set structural walls in one direction (north-south). But wall has a strong direction and weak direction structurally. Triangular shape solves the problem of a direction, and gaps appear by weaving each triangle. Tunnel in the triangle and the gaps are enough large for children to pass, to hide behind. Wall is a wall but also works as a secret corridor, secret byroad and a secret place of children. Some wall lines sticking out change its angle gradually to become a slide.
