A merge between Danish and Chinese
The new international kindergarten in Hi-Tech Zone, Chengdu, represents a unique merge between Nordic architecture, Danish pedagogy and Chinese culture and traditions. It is being raised in a brand-new district and as a part of Chengdu Century Park.
The kindergarten is designed as a “little sister” for a new Primary school in the same district.
A school developed with user involvement
As part of the design process, RUM cooperated with various stakeholders, gave several talks about trends for Danish learning spaces and we visited several interesting institutions in Chengdu.
RUM organized user involvement through mini-workshops with participants of various stakeholders. This close collaboration grew into a visionary and experimental project.
