Nursery School, Aguas Nuevas, Spain

西班牙阿瓜斯努埃瓦斯 純白幼稚園

Just a few kilometers from the city of Albacete, in one of the villages built in the 1960s by the Spanish National Institute of Colonization, this distinctive work serves as an annex to the current nursery school in Aguas Nuevas.

 

An essential building which forms are primarily driven by the few spaces it hosts. Therefore, only two volumes are involved in the composition: the first, narrower and elongated, connects to the existing building and houses the entrance and service areas, while the second, the main volume, rises above the rest with the sole purpose of providing children with a new type of space. An original, unexpected, and undiscovered place for them to engage in their activities.

 

距離 Albacete 市幾公里遠,位於西班牙國家殖民研究所於 1960 年代建造的村莊之一,這座獨特的作品是阿瓜斯努埃瓦斯現有幼兒園的附屬建築。

 

這是一座重要的建築,其形式主要由其所容納的少量空間所驅動。因此,該建築涉及兩個量體:第一量體較為窄且拉長,與現有建築相連,設有入口和服務區,而第二量體是主要建築,高於其他,而唯一的建成目的便是為兒童提供新型的空間。一個原創的、意想不到的、未被發現的地方,供他們從事任何活動。

 

Hence, it is natural that, from a spatial perspective, this classroom becomes the most representative space of the project. That´s why its position on the floor plan is set back from the façade line, located in between two courtyards: one at the rear, facing south, for the children to play, and one at the front, opening onto the street, allowing vegetation to grow. Its exceptional height, on the other hand, gives special prominence to the interior volume of this space.

 

 

因此,從空間的角度來看,這間教室自然成為了計畫中最具代表性的空間。這就是為什麼它在平面圖上的位置從立面線向後退,選擇位於兩個庭院之間:一個在後面,朝南,供孩子們玩耍,一個在前面,通向街道,允許植被生長。另一方面,其非凡的高度使該空間的內部體積特別突出。

A large area flooded with light, where children, almost unconsciously, can also observe the play of shadows cast by the building on its surfaces. This can be witnessed through the two large windows that precisely capture the ever-changing patterns of the day.

 

On the façade, in compliance with the setback required by code, the building also creates a new seating area for the village's residents. A sort of public bench where passersby can rest and parents can wait for their children.

 

一大片充斥光線的區域,孩子們可在無意識中觀察到建築物在其表面上投射的陰影。透過兩個大窗戶目睹,精確地捕捉一天中不斷變化的圖案。

 

在外立面上,本案根據法規要求而退縮,該建築也為村莊居民創建了一個新的休息區。提供公共長凳,使路人可以在此休息,家長亦可以在此等待著孩子們放學。

Iterare Arquitectos
Pedro Ponce and Rubén Gutiérrez lead a studio focused on the practice of an essential architecture, concerned with the context in which each work is located and its contemporary yet timeless reading. This particular approach to the architectural problem allows them to address projects in a broad range of scales and typologies: from the domestic sphere, housing architecture, public facilities and industrial architecture; to furniture, objects or even graphic design and art direction.


Strict attention to detail and construction technique, thoughtful and restrained materiality, and the interpretation of context-specific elements are key aspects to Iterare’s work. Their projects always find common ground in the handling of light and climate, proportions, geometry, junctions and the rhythm of spaces. It is under this framework that even the most modest of objects is also capable of reflecting on broader and more fundamental aspects of life and dwelling.
