Today, kindergartens are often situated within, or on the periphery of a city’s residential areas. Their architecture and associated outdoor space is rarely designed to accommodate a variety of use within or after regular opening hours as a contributor to a residential- or city context. As a result, the general kindergartens of the city are typically functioning as segregated islands operating from 8-16.
The combination of scale and variety of indoor and outdoor functions make kindergartens suitable as a measure to upgrade and revitalize an area’s city fabric and urban situation.
Our proposal of a kindergarten in combination with public offers takes on the task of upgrading the brownfield site of Grünerhagen, which today stands dislocated from the river, and create an unique backdrop along Akerselva’s continuous public riverfront.
