Vaikystes Sodas幼儿园位于一个复杂的复兴改造军营小镇，在规划中，这个小镇将改造为多功能住宅区，该住宅区拥有7座住宅、2座商业、1座学校，以及1座幼儿园，在2021年的一次由立陶宛房地产开发机构组织的竞赛中，这个军营综合体则入选最佳房地产项目，建筑师团队将军事空间逐步改造为住宅区，让历史建筑能够通过现代的方式得以表达，这似乎在诉说着过去的故事，同时也服务于未来一代。

Text description provided by the architects. Kindergarten "Vaikystes Sodas" is a part of the transformation of a complex revived abandoned barracks town into a multifunctional residential quarter, which consists of 7 residential buildings, 2 commercial buildings, a school, and a kindergarten. In the contemporary architecture competition „Zvilgsnis I save“ it was chosen as the best architectural object in Lithuania, created in 2018, and in the competition organized by the Lithuanian Real Estate Development Association in 2021, this barracks complex was selected as the best real estate project. The team of architects gradually turned the military fortress into a residential quarter, enabling historic buildings to vibrate in a modern way, telling the story of the past and creating a new one for future generations.







Vaikystes Sodas幼儿园以哲学教育为基础，表达了环境的重要意义，这就像是第三方教育者，幼儿园和周边的建筑都保留了整体风格以及现代美学的完整特征，从而也呼应了幼儿园的需求，整体的环境则是将新与旧、历史与未来融合起来。

Kindergarten "Vaikystes Sodas" is based on the philosophy of education, which states that the environment is very important, it is like a third educator, so the architecture of both the kindergarten and the surrounding buildings, retaining the integrity of the whole style and modern aesthetics, responds this need, because the context of the environment combines old and modern history and future.



这座位于遗产地区的建筑的主要理念来源于19世纪的建筑特点，其有着严格的几何规划规律、功能特征、立面的平面化表达，还有一定的装饰，因此幼儿园和古旧的军营看起来并没有什么区别，幼儿园的位置在设计时也保持了和原有军营的相同结构，即在原来的军营仓库场地上建造了一座全新的幼儿园，建筑师为了保留历史痕迹，因此在幼儿园的设计过程中应用了对比的方式，从而表达出其现代化特征。

The main architectural idea of the building was dictated by the 19th-century architecture of the plot, located in the heritage area, characterized by strict principles of geometric planning, functionality, dominant planes in the façades, and moderate decoration, therefore the kindergarten building doesn‘t differ stylistically from the old barracks. The location of the kindergarten is designed while maintaining the same structure as the former barracks, so a completely new kindergarten building was built on the authentic site of the former barracks warehouse. In order not to falsify history, the kindergarten has been designed in a contrasting way - to make it clear that it is a building of these times.







因此这座特别的建筑有着令人印象深刻的混凝土外立面，自然的感觉直接得以表达，较为粗糙的工业肌理经过玻璃而看起来有所减弱，构成了一定的精致感，明亮的窗户让孩子们能够更好地观察周边环境，为了保证防晒功能和隐私性，窗户结合有竖直的混凝土面板，这就形成了建筑的屏风，这样的手法打破了建筑原有的雕塑感，同时弱化了体量感，让立面看起来更加活跃。

Therefore, the exceptional architecture building welcomes with the impressive concrete façade, exposed by its natural beauty, whose rough industrial texture is softened by the glass, contrasting with its lightness and fragility. The bright spaces framed by the windows create children the opportunity to observe the changes in the cycles of nature. The windows are shaded with vertical concrete slats, which perform a dual function: protect from the sun and at the same time give children a sense of privacy and security - it becomes like a screen from the eyes of the building in front. Such element not only breaks down and gives a smaller scale to the sculptural building, but also enlivens and softens the façade.







这座建筑并没有太多细节，整体干净、原始，给人留下了深刻的印象，但是仍然有些部分得以强调，从而激发了人们的兴趣，建筑就如同一个大玩具，朝向上方的天窗勾勒了整体形态，窗户象征着灵活和自由，从外向内看，这就像是来自天空的视角，而从内向外，这里便是孩子们的圆形剧场、观景台，甚至是通向天空的阶梯。

The building is restrained, enclosed, and without many details. The building impresses with its clean, original forms. By ascetic features several places of the building are accentuated that cause intrigue - the building resembles a rubber toy, and the skylight rising upwards draws the outline of an elephant. This window also symbolizes agility, and freedom - from the outside it expresses a glance at the sky, from the inside it becomes an amphitheater for the little ones, a viewing platform, and a staircase to the sky.



建筑的内外空间有着一定的差别，但是整体的设计理念是统一的，这让人们印象深刻，简约的外观和丰富的室内形成了对比，内部空间色彩斑斓，生机勃勃，拥有许多小细节和家具，墙体上还有孩子们的画作，老城区的全新标识融合了城市的绿色理念，设计师也重新设计了绿色植物。

The building impresses with its external and internal differences and at the same time with the unity of the idea. The ascetic exterior contrasts with the warm interior space, which is variegated, playfully chaotic, and full of colorful details, small furniture, and children's drawings on the walls. The new identity of the old district combines the green philosophy of the city, so no tree was uprooted and new ones were planted.
