"좋은 건축은 단순히 공간을 제공하는 것이 아니라, 경험을 설계하는 것이다." — 피터 줌터 (Peter Zumthor)

건축과 자연의 대화: 로카르노 유치원의 지속 가능한 디자인  cappelletti sestito architetti-Kindergarten in Locarno

스위스 로카르노의 조용한 도시 한편, 자연과 도시의 경계에 위치한 로카르노 유치원은 현대 건축이 나아가야 할 새로운 방향을 제시합니다. Cappelletti Sestito Architetti가 설계한 이 유치원은 단순한 교육 시설을 넘어, 공간과 자연, 인간과 환경의 조화를 담아낸 건축적 실험의 산물입니다.

1. 자연과의 조화로운 대화
이 유치원의 설계는 자연과 도시의 연속성을 강조합니다. 투명한 유리와 노출 콘크리트는 자연의 풍경을 내부로 끌어들이고, 따뜻한 목재의 사용은 유치원 공간에 아늑함과 친근함을 더합니다. 넓은 창문과 정원은 실내와 외부를 유기적으로 연결하며, 아이들이 자연 속에서 학습과 놀이를 즐길 수 있도록 돕습니다.

2. 어린이 중심의 설계
어린이를 위한 공간은 단순히 기능적일 뿐 아니라 그들의 상상력을 자극하도록 설계되었습니다. 165x165cm의 모듈형 그리드 구조는 공간을 유연하게 변형할 수 있도록 돕고, 다목적 공간은 학습과 놀이, 그리고 커뮤니티 활동을 동시에 수용할 수 있습니다. 이처럼 유연성과 기능성을 강조한 설계는 아이들의 자유로운 활동을 지원하며, 안전성과 효율성을 고려했습니다.

3. 지속 가능성을 향한 노력
이 프로젝트는 에너지 효율성과 지속 가능성을 고려하여 설계되었습니다. 스위스 Minergie 인증을 받은 설계는 자연광과 환기를 최대화하여 에너지 사용을 최소화하고, 지역에서 조달된 친환경 재료를 사용하여 환경에 미치는 영향을 줄였습니다. 이는 단순히 건축 기술을 뛰어넘어, 어린이들에게 지속 가능성의 중요성을 교육하는 메시지를 담고 있습니다.

4. 미학과 감각의 조화
미니멀리즘의 선과 비례를 살린 설계는 현대적이고 세련된 미적 감각을 보여줍니다. 자연광과 원형 LED 조명의 조화는 공간에 생동감을 더하고, 아이들에게 밝고 활기찬 환경을 제공합니다. 콘크리트와 목재의 조합은 견고함과 따뜻함이라는 상반된 감각을 동시에 선사합니다.

결론: 건축, 삶과 자연을 잇다
로카르노 유치원은 단순한 교육 시설을 넘어, 사람과 자연, 도시와 환경을 연결하는 건축적 가치를 실현한 사례로 평가받습니다. 이 유치원은 단순히 건축의 한계를 넘어서, 아이들의 성장과 상상력을 북돋우며, 지속 가능한 미래를 위한 가능성을 보여줍니다.

Our project originated from a single-phase international architectural competition organized by the Municipality of Locarno, which it won unanimously by jury vote in August 2019. This design harmonizes the educational environment with its natural and urban context, promoting values of community, sustainability, and inclusion. The new structure redefines urban relationships between the existing school and its surroundings, while clarifying spatial connections with the adjacent public housing. The added volume acts as an architectural backdrop, establishing the external boundary and strengthening the identity of the entire complex.

The two new kindergarten sections, designed with contextual principles, integrate seamlessly with the organic architectural language of the original building by architect Dolf Schnebli (1973). However, this intervention establishes its own identity, coherently dialoguing with the existing structure and enriching its architectural value.

A core focus of this work is the creation of flexible, open spaces that foster interaction among children, teachers, and families, reinforcing a sense of community. The spatial arrangement supports shared activities and moments of socialization in both formal and informal learning contexts. Communal areas, strategic meeting points, and multipurpose zones encourage collaboration, forming a dynamic and inclusive educational environment.

The design draws inspiration from the simplicity and modularity of the original architecture, defined by a single ground floor scaled to children's proportions. The new sections echo these materials and dimensions while incorporating a distinctive large coffered concrete roof. This unifying element protects internal and external functions and ensures a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The modular structure, based on a 165x165 cm grid, enables spatial reconfiguration for diverse educational needs, supported by large sliding doors. The vertical load-bearing system, limited to two end walls and internal columns, makes the remaining space fully adaptable, enhancing the pavilion-like nature of the complex.

Sustainability was a guiding principle, with materials and techniques chosen to minimize environmental impact. The integration of green spaces, natural ventilation, and abundant daylight reinforces sustainable design principles, earning the Swiss Minergie energy label.

This project innovates by establishing a strong connection between indoor and outdoor learning spaces. Expansive glazed facades provide visual and functional continuity, linking classrooms directly to covered outdoor areas and the surrounding natural environment. The intervention reimagined the entire site layout, transforming it into a cohesive "campus" for children. Key features include the new entrance square, "Piazza del Noce," designed for outdoor activities and centered around the preserved original tree with an amphitheater-like arrangement, as well as a 2000 sqm playground with sustainable equipment.

The main structure uses reinforced concrete for load-bearing elements and wood for covered outdoor areas. Construction was completed in multiple phases to maintain school operations, ensuring safety, minimizing disruption, and upholding high-quality standards. The result is a project that integrates innovation, sustainability, and a profound focus on the needs of the community.
