Information
A rhythmic row. An elongated facade consisting of two sections of varying character (the kindergarten and the elementary school) forms the background to a succession of 5 groups of objects set, so to speak, as text consisting of: 'wind-wheel pendulum', 'gable formations', '2 vertical symbols', 'crack and arch', and 'small round temple'.
The groups of objects adopt the intentions and the rhythm of the volume behind them, emphasising and countering it. This formation is continued in the boundary lines and stepped ground leading towards the road, whereby a plaza-like opening creates a protected transitional zone in front of the entrance to the kindergarten. The fine colour scheme on the facade is continued and accentuated in the colours of the materials: the earthy red of the engineering bricks and the rust-brown of the iron.
