She also said for 8 beds : 20 rooms that freedom is the essential characteristic of the prepared environ- Total : 200 beds ment. In other words, children’s spaces for play, a combination of randomized freedom and refined order is needed.

Children like to play freely without being restrained. Accordingly, we borrowed from the locality of Laveno Mombello, the behavioral minds of children and the movement for play. The free stream flow- ing from Lake Maggiore in the surrounding area permeated the site and made a playful line with various widths and visibility. These corridors allow children to experience various experiences and ex- plorations while at the same time creating a free journey. The open space between them formed as a result of this, provides a space to contain children’s activities such as pottery. In this way, anyone who is an adult can go from the building to building and experience as if they are experiencing it.

From a playful point of view, children should start from freedom, but in terms of educational growth, certain disciplines and certain defined spaces must be mixed. Therefore, we have provided regular and practical play spaces for children to meet the slabs, walls, roof and structure of existing buildings and the vertical and hor- izontal regular grid with flexible corridors. In this way, through the Entrance building recreation of existing buildings, children can have an outside space information with only a roof so that children can enjoy the outside air even in office inclement weather, the walls and pillars become structures for play. laboratory supporting facilities
