Chinese studio MAD has converted an 18th-century courtyard building in Beijing into the YueCheng Courtyard Kindergarten, which is topped with a playspace for the children.
The architecture studio wrapped the new kindergarten in Beijing’s Chaoyang District around a traditional courtyard building that was original constructed in 1725.
“While preserving the cultural heritage of the site, it forms a multi-layered urban narrative, where old and new co-exist,” said MAD.
中國工作室MAD已將北京的一棟18世紀的院落建築改建為悅城幼稚園，並在上面設有兒童遊樂區。
該建築工作室將北京朝陽區的新幼兒園用傳統的庭院建築包裹起來，該建築最初建於1725年。
MAD說：“在保留該遺址的文化遺產的同時，它形成了一個多層的城市敘事，新舊並存。”
The new structure completely surrounds the historic buildings, which have been converted to become part of the kindergarten, and is topped with a bright red and orange roof.
This undulating rooftop was designed to contrast dramatically with the grey roofs of the traditional buildings and provide a large playspace for the kindergarten’s children.
新結構完全包圍了歷史建築，這些建築已被改建為幼兒園的一部分，並以鮮紅色和橙色屋頂為頂。
這種起伏的屋頂旨在與傳統建築的灰色屋頂形成鮮明對比，並為幼兒園的孩子們提供了寬敞的遊戲空間。
“Unfolding onto the site with a low and gentle posture, the roof transforms the limited space between the various buildings into a colorful playground that functions as the main place for children to engage in outdoor sports and activities,” said the studio.
“On the southwest side of the roof, a subtly undulating surface of several small ‘hills’ and ‘plains’ creates a high and low terrain, forming a playful landscape.”
該工作室說：“屋頂以低而平緩的姿勢展開，使各種建築物之間的有限空間變成了一個色彩繽紛的遊樂場，是兒童進行戶外運動和活動的主要場所。”
“在屋頂的西南側，幾個小小的“丘陵”和“平原”的微妙起伏的表面形成了高低不平的地形，形成了一個有趣的景觀。”
While the historic buildings contain enclosed art and dance classrooms, as well as a teacher’s office and lounge, the new structure contains an open-plan teaching space for 400 children between the ages of two and five.
This space is broken by a series of courtyards that puncture the roof, some of which contain stairs, ramps and slides to get between the kindergarten and the rooftop play area.
雖然歷史建築包含封閉的藝術和舞蹈教室，以及老師的辦公室和休息室，但新結構包含可容納400名2至5歲兒童的開放式教學空間。
這個空間被一系列刺穿屋頂的庭院所破壞，其中一些庭院包含樓梯，坡道和滑梯，可在幼兒園和屋頂遊樂區之間穿行。
The kindergarten also contains a library, small theatre and gymnasium.
These spaces, together with the open-plan classroom, are connected by a wide corridor with glass walls facing towards the historic buildings. This visually connects the new structures to the 18th-century courtyard.
幼兒園還設有圖書館，小劇院和體育館。
這些空間與開放式教室通過寬闊的走廊相連，玻璃牆朝向歷史建築。 這在視覺上將新結構連接到18世紀的庭院。
“This gives the children alternating views between old and new, deepening their understanding of time and dimension. In turn, the new building also has been realized to respect three, ancient trees on the site,” said the studio.
“It envelopes them in a way that while preserving their presence, also echoes the existing courtyard space, bringing the outdoors in, and flooding the interior with natural sunlight.”
該工作室說：“這使孩子們在新舊之間有不同的看法，加深了他們對時間和維度的理解。反過來，新建築也實現了尊重現場三棵古樹的目的。”
“它以某種方式包裹住它們，既保留了它們的存在，又呼應了現有的庭院空間，將室外帶入室內，並在室內充滿自然陽光。”
MAD hopes that the clear relationship between the historic and modern elements of the school, which also incororates a 1990s low-ries block, will help the young children to better understand their surroundings.
“The openness and richness of the design allows the children to have an objective and true comprehension of the environment that surrounds them,” said the studio.
“It offers them an understanding of history and place, and the preservation of nature, bringing an inclusiveness between the old and new design – one that adds value to the community.”
MAD希望，學校的歷史和現代元素之間的清晰關係，也可以與1990年代的低矮街區相輔相成，將有助於幼兒更好地了解周圍的環境。
工作室說：“設計的開放性和豐富性使孩子們能夠客觀，真實地了解他們周圍的環境。”
“它為他們提供了對歷史和地方的理解以及對自然的保護，使新舊設計之間具有包容性，從而為社區增添了價值。”
Beijing-based architecture studio MAD was established by Ma Yansong in 2004.
The studio recently completed a residential building in Beverly Hills that was designed to look like a village on top of a hill and a workspace in two bubble-like spaces that had been added to an ancient hutong.
