This architecture is infant ridge to be increased floor space for child on waiting list nursery school. This project indicates vision of the future of a superannuated existence nursery school, not a just enlargement project. Enlargement only for floor area securement cannot contemplate children’s nurture.

Project was advanced using keyword from “Les jeux et les hommes” by Roger Caillois. The function of nursery school where playing (Mimicry) and competition (Agôn) are performed is wrapped with an outer wall of garvanised stealseats which are chosen by “lot” which produces intended accident (Alea) and mirror which reflected the sky where they have feeling dizzy (Ilinx)= an illusion. I expect to prompt the development of a child’s brain by putting such cue in the space for child’s activity.
