A nursery providing holistic care for children, ages_? define the ages___. This includes education, medical treatment, and .....anything else? 3.The effects of early school separation between parent and child. Does this vary across cultures? 4. Early child education across cultures. Is there an example of something effective that is not necessarily part of a structured institutional system that could inform a new way of doing things?

CLIENT PROFILE The school is a full day nuresery that address young children in New York. The school helps people such as working parents, no expericence parents etc. Giving their kids a safe and creative place to explore themselves. Children will be separeted into 2 age groups. 3-4 and 5-6. Different age group has different daily schedule and activities. Primary User Groups -Children (3-6) Secondary User Groups –Teacher, Parents Tertiary User Groups –Faculty (doorman…)

VISUALIZATION

1. Creating a space for children to feel like home is the most important thing, how to achieve? 2.What kind and how many staffs would you need? 3. How can an enviroment encourage all children to socialize and being engaged together? 4. What is your multi function meaning? 5. How can you make sure those children will feel better at this space? 6. What is the role of the staff?

MISSION

To create a new type of school where children can feel free to experience different challeges, have interesting learning experience and get knowledge by themselves.

Concept Diagram

Plan

Circulation Analysis

In many clinics healthcare flows would traditionally move through the same door into an exam room that is positioned around a staff work area. This causes congestion and compromises between staff, patients and families. In this plan, the circulation flow has been optimized. Patients and families have their own circulation and by giving staff a secondary entrance to the exam room, their immediate environment can store equipment and supplies closer to the point of use within a secluded â&#x20AC;&#x153;teaming area.â&#x20AC;?

Aesthetics Analysis

Color is used throughout the project to strategically identify zones and activate interior spaces. The interior artwork reflects the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest landscape. The artwork create a comfortable, engaging and positive environment for patients.

Addtional Programs

The outdoor cafe terrace creates a place for parents to relax during their accompanying, gives users a family-friendly experience.Green roofs provide a relaxing environment, help the patients and their families to reduce their anxiety They contribute to improving air quality by capturing airborne pollutants.

Evaluation of Design

Positive: -The safest, most efficient and family-friendly experience -Patient circulation is separate from staff, this plan improves the wayfinding and creates quiet, uncrowded corridors. -Grouping related facilities together reduces walking distances and increases patient safety. -The use of plentiful skylights, views of the rooftop gardens, artwork and colors strategically identify zones and activate interior spaces, help the users reduce stress and encourage overall wellness.

Site Plan

Program&Stacking Diagram

Program:

1.nuresery school 2 elementary school

almost-square plot accommodates two separate schools:preschool and elementaryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;serving 500 children aged 3 to 11. Each school required its own entrance, internal circulation, and outdoor play areas. Space also had to be made for an after-hours study center and a gym that can operate independently.

Floor Plan

nursery school area elementary school area

Entrance foyers, offices, and cafeterias occupy the ground level, with the preschool on the second floor, the ciculation is round the courtyard.

Floor Plan

The elementary school on the two floors above. The elementary play yard is on the side of the building, thus the circulation on the 3rd and 4th floor is more simple.

Section&Structure Analysis

This tangle of constraints was tackled by roughing out the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organization with a few moves of diagrammatic clarity before refining it through pragmatic responses to particular functional requirements. Beginning with a four-story block that fully covers the site and oversails tram tracks to the south, Coulon carved out an angular central void to make a yard for the preschool. One story was removed from the structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west side, and two from the south to make a terraced yard for older children on top of the building, enclosed by high walls but open to the sky. Deep niches in the north facade shelter entrances and link the courtyard to the park, while overhangs shade south-facing glazing. Indentations to the upper stories carry daylight deep into the interior and add further articulation.

Neighborhood Analysis

On the east si the glass towers of the business district at La DĂŠfense are not far away, while closer in are the decayed housing projects. In conditions of social and economic disadvantage, this school buildings that stimulate imagination and foster confidence can be transformational, and give this area a new appearances. The building has over 650sqm of solar panels on its roof, makes it a eco building.

Evaluation of Design

Positive: -Entering the building, its signature feature becomes clear immediately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; colour. The bold, bright, shocking pink and orange are used in communal spaces such as courtyards and corridors. The colour is all-encompassing, covering walls, floors, doors and ceilings in vast angular shapes. These enormous fragments of daring colour provide an imaginative space for the children to play. The asymmetrical angles of the patches of colour emphasise and work together with the shape of the building creating interesting shadows on the rooftop. -With a small plot of land to work with, the architects found solutions to fit extensive facilities and make the building feel spacious. Tightly embedded into the dense urban area, it straddles the maintenance workshops for the new tramline and fully uses its roof space for educational gardens. -The building has strong eco-credentials. -Not only the group of schools has a playful and fun environment, consumes and is one of the first buildings to be completed in the new eco-district, set to accommodate 500 new homes.

case study 4 West Hills Reggio Center

Overview: • Architects: Scalar Architecture • Location: West Hills, NY, USA • Area: 5500.0 ft2 • Project Year: 2015

User Group: • primary user group: jewish children,religious believers •secondary user group: teachers, parents,staffs • tertiary: delivers, volunteers

Program

Program: 1.Pre-school 2 religious center A contemporary learning center catering to Jewish families. The pre-school is based on the Reggio pedagogical approach which fosters community through exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching environment based on the interests of the children through a self-guided curriculum. Reggio Emilia philosophy: - Children must have some control over the direction of their learning; - Children must be able to learn through experiences of touching, moving, listening, and observing; - Children have a relationship with other children and with material items in the world that they must be allowed to explore; - Children must have endless ways and opportunities to express themselves.

Floor Plan

Elevation&Section Analysis

The 1st floor and mezzanine are the pre-school area. The whole space is simple; it is separated into three big rooms. There is no unique design detail in the space. The temple level is under the classroom level. It is same as the classroom level; the shape is a typical rectangular shape without any other ornaments.The building was not built on flat ground because of the local topography. The part of the classroom is double height, and alternating height windows are for both children and adults.

Aesthetics Analysis

The white wall and bright wood texture were used in the interior space; this light color combination looks cold. The double height classroom feels empty and narrow. Also, the classroom has a strong sense of coldness because of the double height ceiling. The temple level used the same materials as the other level.Thus it has a sense of coldness. The detailed design in this building such as the staircase, it is in an industrial style. It might not be suitable for the pre-school facility.

Evaluation of Design

Positive: - The building is a sustainable structure; it uses a geometric roofline to provide more sunlight and save the energy. Negative: - The plan design of this building is unthoughtful. Each room is set next to each other tightly. There is no space to let children run around. - The double height design is too high to children, even though the alternating height windows are used, the window size is not big enough to let more light get in. - The materials selection is not appropriate. Too many cold tone colors in the space, make it cold visually. - No specific program can motivate the children. - This facility is somewhat like a place for adults.

Educational Theory Children play with age-appropriate materials as language and communication skills develop. Young learners will develope their skill through art activities, story time, snack time, open play, singing songs, and modeling the behavior of teachers.

Introductory Essay Anxiety of pre-kindergarten toddlers from first parent-child separation Nowadays, there are increasing number of commuting parents in big cities, they are working and have to take care of their children at the same time. Because of their busy life, pre-schools and daycare centers turn to their best choice. Unfortunately, there is a significant problem that kids cry and scream when their parents leave them in a new environment; the anxiety occurs when children are frightened or upset to be away from a parent or loved one. Each child performs different that can be observed at any school or daycare center. Some children run in with hardly a glance backward when they are dropped off; some are being pried tearfully off their parents by staff members. Sometimes children separate well one day and then won’t the next, depending on their mood and the circumstances. It is an emotional tug of war between the need for security and the desire for independence. Many factors cause separation anxiety when toddlers are first separated with their caregivers. The separation anxiety is the first time that children get anxious about being without their parents, and the distress happens to both parents and children. “It can develop into a severe disorder if reinforced,” says Nancy L. Eldred, the professor of psychology at San Jose State University. If the kids have problems going to school when they are young and such behaviors are encouraged, those could lead to problems after they enter high school. (Gopalakrishnan, P. Separation anxiety; how to prepare your child for the first day of school. (2004, 08). ) Separation anxiety is a normal stage in a toddler’s development. According to Scott Cowley, a professor of early childhood education at Sheridan College in Brampton, Ont, “babies at about six to eight months start to ‘get’ what we call object permanence, they begin to realize that mom and dad still exist, even when they cannot see them.” (Finlay, L. Separation anxiety survival guide. (2008, 07).) The separation anxiety helps children learn how to master an environment. That is why some children can settle in a new place very quickly because they understand that their parents will return later. However, some children’s anxiety exceeds, it made them cry. group showed an extremely high rate of separation anxiety.

Parents Anxiety and negativity Some parents are nervous about their children’s safety or worry that a child will become overly attached to his or her teacher. Others may feel guilty about going back to work, and some parents have had negative school experiences themselves. While they communicate their ambivalence about separation, it makes harder for a child to adjust to a new situation. “In exploring the origins of childhood anxiety, previous research has shown that anxious parents are more likely to have an anxious child than non-anxious parents.” (Mancini et al. 1996; Weissman et al. 1984). “About one-third of this relationship is accounted for by genetics” (Gregory and Eley 2007), “leaving a significant role for the environmental effects of having an anxious parent. The anxious parents inadvertently transfer their interpretation bias to their child via verbal communication” (Creswell et al. 2010; Hadwin et al. 2006). Parents have the most influence over their children’s lives in early childhood, if they had negative experiences of school life, they might use relatively negative words to explain what school life will be toward their kids. This negative communication might make their children afraid of going to a pre-school facility. Moreover, the significant effect from negative parents might bring passive influence to children’s temperament, such as pessimism. Outgoing kids are easier to make friends, start communications to others, and others also prefer to stay with outgoing kids. This made shy and anxious children more difficult to fit into a new group of children. Children’s behavioral inhibition What is behavioral inhibition? “Behavioral inhibition is a personality style, or temperament, that relates to the tendency to 1) feel distressed or fear, and 2) to withdraw when faced with novel environments, situations, or people. Children showing behavioral inhibition tend to be afraid, anxious, or uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations, and tend to stop playing and withdraw when around unfamiliar people. These children tend to be very vigilant of their surroundings during these unfamiliar situations. They do not tend to approach new people, situations, or objects.” (Nathan A. Fox, Heather A Henderson, editor. Behavioral Inhibition, Annual Review of Psychology, 2005)

Behavioral inhibition has been aware as a risk factor for developing anxiety disorders in children. According to a study of Biederman, children who have behavioral inhibition are more likely to develop to separation anxiety (Biederman et al. ,1993). Also, according to the table 1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s result, compared with uninhibited behavioral children group the inhibited group showed an extremely high rate of separation anxiety. The children with behavioral inhibition always control their emotion and behaviors. They are not able to explain the exact thoughts of themselves. Behavioral inhibition does not happen to all the kids, those kids who have behavioral inhibition, this might be influenced by family culture. In Asian tradition, parents tend to support their children to control their emotions and actions. Because they think children should learn to be polite and do not bother others. In contrast, western countries parents tend to encourage their children to express their feelings, tell them do not hide their problems, dissatisfactions, fear and always ask for others help. Table 1. Prevalence rates of anxiety disorders at 5-year follow-up for parent-reported behaviorally inhibited (BI) and uninhibited (BUI) groups.

Parents over-involvement Family environment is another big factor that causes separation anxiety of children. Mothers tend to help their kids to decide whom they will play with, help them to dress even if they are able to dress themselves. These actions by the parents are called over-involvement or over-protection. Those parents who give their children too much care and attention, and even over pamper them, make them less independence and lose the chance of learning a skill. Therefore, when they are separated with their parents, they will start to be panic, do not know how to deal with things around them. All these bad experiences eventually turned to anxiety. Also according to Battaglia’s research, maternal anxiety, and maternal over-involvement were significant predictors of clinical anxiety, the data is in the table 2. (Battaglia, Marco.” Distinct trajectories of separation anxiety in the preschool years.” Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry. 2016.) Table 2: Distinct trajectories of separation anxiety in the preschool years: persistence at school entry and early-life associated factors. (“Clown Fish.” Getty Images. Points of View. EBSCO. Web. 30 Jan. 2007.)

Why parents’ over-involvement cause children’s separation anxiety? Because it makes parent-child attachment stronger, when children stay in a place without their parents, the anxiety of separation will grow stronger. A child who has overprotective parents always shows timidity. They feel fear easily, they show a chronic dependence on their parents. Therefore, parents’ over-involvement also expresses as parents take on what ought to be done by their kids. Conclusion: Many factors can cause pre-kindergarten toddlers have a separation anxiety when they are first separated with their parents. Children’s behavioral inhibition, parents’ anxiety/negativity and parents’ over-involvement/protection are the most increased risk factors for children’s anxiety. Children treat the place with their parents as the safest place; they rely on their parents to help them that is why the separation anxiety happens. Therefore, the first thing to be considered is to try to reduce the parent-child attachment properly, means let children accomplish things by themselves, let go mother’s or father’s control on some parts of children’s life. Let children feel the sense of achievement and know they are able to complete things indecently. Before the kids go to a nursery center, try not to use negative words to describe the place where they will go. Let the children express their real thoughts, and can speak with others when they are unpleasant. A positive attitude and communication of parents will help children lower their repulsion toward a new environment and teachers.
