座落於臺中市烏日區東園國小的附設幼兒園,基地鄰近東園里社區有獨立的出入口,工程預算一千七百二十五萬,總樓地板面積為725平方公尺,為地上二層樓RC結構建築。這個作品試圖討論幼兒對於建築的認知與激發對於空間的想像力,透過結構與場所、尺度與元素等互為相依的安排,讓校園建築也可回到建築學本身核心的思考。

本案座落位置在東園國小校園的西北角,面臨六米現有巷道,道路與既有校舍成了一個接近四十五度的交角,因此在配置上主體建築物順應道路軸向,入口處雨遮轉了四十五度順應校園軸向。雨遮與退縮道路形成有遮蔽的家長接送區,而這轉向雨遮也與轉了四十五度的入口柱形成二樓的活動平台。正立面是具有雙斜屋頂的典型家型,與校舍跟周邊建築雙坡屋頂相互對應,這家型的白色立面作為鄰接社區的入口塑造了社區對於東園幼兒園的第一印象。

在二樓室內教室有一巨大的Y型柱,這柱子撐起了混凝土的斜屋頂,這個Y型柱是由三個一樣尺寸的柱交會而成,與四十五度的斜屋頂成為一個直角垂直關係,其分叉姿態具有突顯結構傳遞的表象也有實質身體感受到屋頂重量的力學作用。這個Y被塗裝成黃色賦予在空間中象徵的意義,同時間這活潑的黃色也削弱掉柱子的視覺上的重量感,轉而成為幼兒集體對於這空間場所的記憶,企圖以結構撐起了幼兒園的學習場所。

Tung Yuan Kindergarten is a 2-story concrete building located in an industrial neighborhood at the outskirt of Taichung city. With total floor area of 725m2, this work attempts to construct spaces for children's cognition and imagination. Through the indivisible arrangement of structure and elements, scale and place, school architecture can also return to the introverted thinking of architecture itself.

This building is situated in the north-west corner of the Industrial campus. It faces an existing 6M roadway which forms an angle close to 45 degrees between the road and the existing building. The configuration of the building conforms to the road while the recessed entrance canopy is then turned 45 degrees to align the exiting campus axis. This canopy is supported by a 45 degree column that forms the activity terrace on the 2nd floor. The front elevation is constructed as a typical archaic house shape with double pitched roof. It corresponds to the roof of the existing buildings and the domestic houses nearby. This white abstract façade becomes the first community's impression of Tung Yuan Kindergarten.

On the 2nd floor, there is a huge Y-shaped column, which supports the double pitched concrete roof. This Y-shaped column is formed by the intersection of three same sized columns, forming a perpendicular relationship with the roof. This split column structure not only has the visual appearance of force transmission but also the physical feature of sensing the heaviness of the big roof. The column is then rendered in bright yellow turning it into a legible architectural element of this children’s learning place.
