three citrus-hued pavilions make up the kindergarten extension of the 'bartomeu ordines primary school' in consell. designed by local firm ripolltizon,
the building sits on the fringe of urban fabric and brushes the countryside on an east-west axis. most remarkable is the enveloping presence of
nearby orange groves which greatly informed the architectonic palette. the architecture uses vibrant color to create playful paths of circulation
in the building while also seamlessly weaving indoor and outdoor spaces. six classrooms are arranged in clusters so as to aid in the formation of
these walkways and keep areas of activity easily accessible to outside recreation areas. a glazed facade oriented east opens the cluster to a private
courtyard. strategically positioned windows utilize the morning sun for natural lighting and provide an access between the new and the existing
building, especially the large, shared dining area. a vegetable garden completes the open-air spaces, while a planar roof articulates the form through
folded shadows and borrowed color.

  • This is really wonderful and playful and the colors are great together It just leaves me wondering why all the white? Was to leave it behind altogether just rebellious against “modernist” dogma? The white certainly has no real need for being, Light colors could have really unified everything. They show the kids against the white but not against the white. There are just too many cold areas for this to be fully realized. Just my opinion as a colorist of course.
