Childminders Centre
Project Featured on Mar 05, 2015
Type
YEAR
2012
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The project Childminders Centre (Haus der Tagesmutter) is the first of four buildings currently under construction as an implementation of the proposal awarded with the First Prize in the International Competition European 9 in the city of Selb, Germany. This first project, finished in September 2012, has also been awarded the Biennial International Prize ‘First Work — 2013’ by the German magazine Bauwelt.
The Centre is part of a global urban strategy aiming to reactivate the center of the shrinking city of Selb by integrating and attracting a young population. We are proposing “Preventive Urban Acupuncture.” This strategy consists of making small insertions in the existing urban fabric, like precise and quick shots, which will trigger an entire reactivation of the social dynamics of the city.
The Centre is a program self-managed by mothers associations with the aims of taking care of babies during office hours and children after school hours, making a conciliation of family life and work easier.
Roofs and façades of the project use the same material along every stripe. The scale and color of these pieces are adapted to the domestic scale of the neighborhood as well as the public use of the building so integration and differentiation combines to establish a nice dialogue with the Bavarian urban landscape.
Programmatic and spatial specialization of every stripe results in the use of specific materials and colors, providing the inner space with a code combining color, use, activity timing, acoustic environment, and energy demand.
The proposed system is characterized by its flexibility. It subsists on organizing the project into specialized programmatic stripes, which work by addition. Existing urban voids among buildings are filled in with these stripes so urban façades of incomplete blocks become continuous.
