Children are infinite energy. Sometimes they just cannot sit still. They need to know everything. They like to discover new things and ideas again and again. Let's help children open the world.
Our concept is to break down barriers and create a common open space (world) for children. We keep existing buildings and modernize them. Windows turn into doors, and doors into windows. Also, passages appear at the ends of the buildings. This will open the premises in a common structure and give children the opportunity to decide for themselves where and when they want to be. We also offer to create a new extension (92m2). The extension architecture repeats the existing buildings. The same proportions, the shape of the roof, the pitch of structural elements (concrete columns, wooden beams). Only instead of concrete walls are wooden frames covered with polycarbonate. This extension has the function of a hall where parents meet children. But also the extension can become a playroom.
The back of the tribune is covered with wooden boards painted with paint for drawing with chalk, and have openings for climbing. On the tribunes are boxes with plants.
On the playing field is applied a new pattern with the designation of the various gaming zones. Also, a pattern is applied with the national characters of Bolivia and geometric figures for chalk-painting.
