The Building Design of a Kindergarten in Zaragoza, Spain

This educational building was designed by Spanish office Magén Arquitectos. Located in the residential Rosales del Canal area of the city, the building comprises nine classrooms arranged around a patio. Each classroom has a pyramid-shaped ceiling with a skylight at its zenith, and this shape is repeated in the larger dining hall. Individual buildings are linked by covered walkways.

The Kindergarten is a horizontal construction that develops a nine units teaching programme, around an independent playground on the southern side of the site. A continuous linear porch links between the different buildings. The two main ideas that existed at the start of the project are based on children’s special perception of the constructed environment. The first idea has to do with scale and tries to combine the general volumetrics of the public facility with the more intimate and domestic scale that must accompany the child. The second idea fulfils the conception of the centre as a significant experience in spatial terms, related to the children’s creative world.
