The project aims to establish a more diversified environment for children’s growth, allowing the school to become the aesthetic base for neighboring communities. An art container is put on a corner of the yard, without disturbing the space’s peace and serenity. As a tool for observations, the mirror offers views of ourselves and our relationship with the environment. The pavilion is cladded with mirror-polished stainless steel boards, in order avoid the typical architectural “fight for space”.
