![]() ![]() The schools have witnessed the growth of Shenzhen and form a large part of the childhood emotions and memories of Shenzhen people. Shenzhen Second Kindergarten was founded in 1982, one of the first batch of public kindergartens in Shenzhen. As the first step of children into society, kindergartens should be open and free. But what about for kindergarten aged children? Yunchao Xu, lead architect of Atelier Apeiron, believes that the definition of so-called "good schools" also provides a kind of spatial discipline for children. In the firm's opinion, "a large playground, large classrooms, and multi-functional spaces" are the configurations that form a "good school". Discipline, Foucault believed, has become a prominent feature of modern education, permeating all of its aspects. Modern society tames the flesh through disciplines, and social disciplines demand that people behave "correctly". "Surrounded by green trees, new blocks rise gently, and the flowing space slowly blooms, infusing greater happiness into this old neighborhood.” “Children need a small town, rather than just a row of classrooms," explains Yunchao Xu. Yunchao Xu/Atelier Apeiron introduces its latest design, Kindergarten of Museum Forest, a project following the "Apeironology" design philosophy which Yunchao Xu has always practiced to embrace the opening of boundaries, not restricted to definitions crossing disciplinary lines, and not limited to typologies. ![]()
