Introduction and the purpose of the competition
The objective of the Design Contest is to design the concept of nursery school which is the best or the best in terms of architecture, space, functions and use.
The architecture of the building should be divided into space for learning, space for playing and space for eating. The design should take into account the fact that children are divided into groups. The rooms for the youngest children should differ from the rooms for older children. The designed rooms should encourage children to stay in the nursery school and to have contact with peers, to treat the nursery school as their second home.
It is necessary to remember about rooms for administration personnel of the nursery school and medical care personnel. An important element of the nursery school should be the playground for children.
An important role in the designed space of the nursery school should be also taken by the analysis of the effect of both natural and artificial light.
The design should be clear and adapted to the pupils’ needs. The design for the nursery school should take into account the diversification into zones in compliance with the division into groups which should be distinguished in terms of functions and used colours. It is necessary to keep the balance between aesthetics and functionality, as well as open, half-open and closed space for learning. The nursery school should be designed with the idea that it is intended for children and therefore it is necessary to pay special attention to ensure the environment which is safe and complies with the standards.
The design requires the following:
- The general explanation of the layout of the space, specification of dimensions and standard of finishing works for the nursery school.
- The general explanation of the light used for spot and general illumination of the space, the manner of use and supply with electricity
