As the project lead for the daycare facility, I did an exploration to understand the essence of what defines a daycare and the unique challenges it presents. Through thorough research and visual investigation, I encountered the work of a visionary architect, Dorte Mandrup. They made innovative approach to daycare design in Denmark and captivated my interest. Central to her philosophy was the notion that daycare environments should primarily revolve around the concept of play. This revelation prompted a fundamental shift in my thinking for the project. I realized that the daycare I envisioned would not merely be a conventional space but a dynamic playground where play shapes the very fabric of its form. Understanding the pivotal role play holds in child development, I designed each element of the daycare to harmonize with the playground. The design unfolded in layers, with the primary layer being the semi-oval playground, serving as the heart of the facility. This space provides ample room for children to engage in unstructured play. Transitioning from the playground, the multipurpose room emerges as a versatile space, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, offering seamless connectivity and enriching experiences for the children. The architectural expression is further accentuated by a protective enclosure embracing the layers of the facility. This curvilinear wall, inspired by the concept of privacy and intrigue, incorporates wooden slats that shields the children from the world viewing in and allows the children to see the world. The curvature of this enclosure not only fosters a sense of security but also complements the playful nature of the environment, creating a visually engaging and dynamic facade. In essence, the design narrative is a testament to the intrinsic connection between play, architecture, and child-centered learning, where every element is thoughtfully crafted to nurture creativity, exploration, and growth.
