Draw out The Horizon | Daycare center and Culinary school

The project is a combination of a daycare center and culinary school. It relieves the childcare need of workers in Earth City and provides quality food for residents and workers in the area. Covering with a curvy, climbable roof, the project shows a welcoming gesture by softly connecting the space above the empty roofs of two warehouses to the linear green area on the ground that exists between them. This space, originally conceived as mere utilitarian for the circulation of trucks, is now transformed into a landscaped boulevard of sorts, becoming de facto an important open space at one of the access points of the area.

The fluid surfaces that weave together, bridge two programs, as well as the landscape and the expansive warehouses. By breaking the boundary of sky and earth and joining the wall and floor, this timeless loop of space and its double program contributes to the lacking needs of Earth City. The extra roof surface of the warehouses will be covered with solar panels taken advantage of the uninterrupted exposure to the south, thus able to generate enough energy to become self-sufficient.

Last but not least, this project in its deliberate extended spread proposes to capitalize and celebrate the horizontal prevalent condition of the business park, where the timid monumentality inherent in the place is seldom celebrated.
