日本最大的幼儿园之一安设在一座独特的圆形建筑里

幼儿园里大概有600个孩子

但这个不寻常的造型不仅是一次建筑学上的大胆冒险
But the unusual shape is more than just a daring architectural adventure
如享誉世界的日本建筑师手塚贵晴所说
by a world-renowned Japanese architect Takaharu Tezuka.
它的设计是为了满足
It’s designed to fulfill the need for
孩子们通过反复做一件事情
doing the same thing over and over again
来观察这个世界的需求
through which children investigate the world.
建筑的顶部设计成跑道
The roof serves as a running track
也是让孩子们和地面生长着的树木互动的地方
and as a place to interact with the trees growing from below,
虽然安全首位重要 但孩子们也学到了成长的风险
while safety is a priority, they learn about the risks of growing up.
地面看起来平整 但我们其实做的是凹凸不平的
“The ground looks flat, but we actually made a bumpy.
如果孩子们在这上面跑闹 他们可能会摔倒
If children run there, they may fall.
但没关系 当他们摔倒一次
But that’s okay. When they fall once,
他们才能明白下次如何才能不摔倒
humans learn how not to fall the next time.
这种方式让他们变的坚强且更好地适应生活
This way they become strong and better equipped for life.”

孩子们在生日的时候可以骑小马

但今天海龟才是主角
But today it’s the turtle that’s the center of attention.
有时候我偶尔和其他幼儿园的同行聊起来
“I sometimes have the opportunity to talk to colleagues in other kindergardens.
他们真的很惊讶

他们有时会问我 “它真的是一个幼儿园吗？”
They sometimes ask me, ‘Is that really a kindergarten?’

我不会去其他的地方工作的

孩子们离园后 老师们在专为加强对知识的探索而设的特定房间里
After the kids have gone, the teachers prepare for the next day
为第二天的教学做准备
