2019年秋季,擅长为城市和乡村更新注入无限创意的ZAN工作室,再次悄然完成了一处改造实践:将浙江义乌某个废弃的茶室和庭院,转变为全新的儿童早教设施,满足0岁到6岁年龄段孩子的使用,弥补城市区域的儿童学习设施不足。这是一次困难的工作历程,成本之低、空间之局促、场地的封闭、配套设施的不足……这些来自先天的不足,都暗示着把这个项目做成具有示范意义的作品是一项巨大的挑战。ZAN工作室没有保守地采用简易、经济的实施策略,而是将计就计,用创新的手法完成任务,也唯有如此,方可出现如今这个趣味横生的儿童空间。
幼儿园的山墙上赫然写着三个关键词:独立(independent),勇敢(brave),自由(free)。这些词似乎多么熟悉,也似乎多么陌生,令人陷入深思。在我们的童年记忆中,集体主义、安全防护、遵从规则,这些“正确的”教导伴随了一代人的童年,也在某种程度上限制着有关创意的萌生。于是,这次改造所隐藏其中的一个目的,就是激发原本埋藏在孩童们潜意识里的天性:自我发现、冒险精神、无拘无束。21世纪儿童教育的话语转机,在这个空间里被悄然诉说,娓娓道来。

There are three big key words on the gable wall in the kindergarten, which are “independent”, “brave” and “free”. These words are so familiar to us but are so unfamiliar at the same time, which make people lost in deep thought. In our childhood memory, the collectivism, safety protection and compliance with rules, these “correct” instructions have been along with a generation’s childhood, but in a way, they also limit the growth of creativity. Therefore, this transformation has a hidden purpose, which is to wake up the children’s nature that is buried in the subconscious, to discover themselves, to have the spirit of adventure and to be unfettered. The turnaround of children education in the 21st century is told quietly in this space.
In the autumn of 2019, ZAN Studio, which is good at inserting infinite originality into the renewal of cities and villages, has finished a renewal practice quietly. They changed an abandoned tea house and a courtyard in Yiwu into a brand new early childhood facility, which can satisfy the children’s use from zero to 6 years old, and make up the lack of learning facilities for children in urban area. It is a difficult working process. The low cost, the narrow space, the closed area, the lack of supporting facilities and those existing shortages all imply that it is a great challenge to make this project into a work which has typical demonstration significance. ZAN Studio didn’t choose a simple and economical implementation strategy conservatively but use an innovative way to finish the task. Only in this way, we could see this interesting space now.

最初的场地由两栋危房和几片空地凑成,多年以前是作为茶室使用。两栋建筑之间的中庭空间狭小、砂石散乱,墙角的泥泞和青苔相浸。两栋旧房之间的空间并不大,而户外空间与中庭相互隔断,没有一个地方能够充分满足孩子的追逐嬉戏。即使把现有的室外场地全部使用,似乎也不尽兴。茶室意味着某种退休之后的闲暇休憩的静态空间;而幼儿园,则暗示着不断生长的动态环境。在这个矛盾的前提下,ZAN工作室的建筑师重新梳理了空间的路径,并充分考虑了儿童身体的感知体验:在中庭空间设计了一个开放阶梯,连接起一层开放的绿地空间和二层的环形平台。而在中庭和外部空地之间,一道彩虹门打通内外的活动空间。 ▼改造前的室外庭院,the courtyard before renovation ©Antao
The original place is formed by two dangerous buildings and some pieces of areas. It was used as the tea house many years ago. Between two buildings, there is a narrow and small atrium with scattered stones and sand. The mud in the corner is wet with the moss. The atrium between two old buildings is not big and the outside space and atrium space are separated by the buildings. There isn’t a place with enough space for children to play, even with all available outside space. The tea house means a static space for relaxing when you are retired, but the kindergarten implies a dynamic environment for growing continually. Basing on the premise of this contradiction, the architects in ZAN Studio comb the space paths again and put the perception and experience of children’s body into full consideration. They design an open stair in the atrium to connect the open green space of the first floor and the circular platform of the second floor. What’s more, there is a rainbow door between atrium space and outside open space, to open up the activity space of inside and outside.
