Dalezhiye Kindergarten's organic form is inspired by Leshan region's mountainscape

Emerging onto the site with its undulating slopes, the Dalezhiye Kindergarten proposal by DIKA Architectural Design Center in Leshan, China, is a 9,077 sqm architecture that dramatically blurs the scales. It is a free-form school volume that extends 62 meters on its north-south axis and 148 meters on its east-west axis. Ultimately, the project doesn’t stick to a defined identity; instead, it seems to grow out of the environment and claim its territory as it sees fit.

The proposal is not necessarily majestic; it is simply a volume that adapts. Dika’s lead designer Wang Junbao envisioned the Dalezhiye Kindgergarten’s unique shape and colors by echoing the Leshan region’s red sandstone landforms and mountainscape. Moreover, the changes in scale reflect the distinct elevation and slope characteristics found on site.

The highest elevation is about 400 meters, and the lowest rounds up to 398 meters, with a maximum difference of 2.63 meters. Meanwhile, the plot features a large slope with a maximum inclination of 1.50%; its area is largest on the east-west axis and gets smaller in the north-south direction.
