Things have changed a lot as far as education is concerned: the way of teaching, the needs, the number of children or the new materials, have forced architects to imagine and create new spaces.
Open spaces, respectful of the environment, modern and lively…. What envy!
We have found these centers that I don’t know about you, but they make me want to pick up my books again? Location: Amstelveen, The Netherlands. 
The design of the new facilities at the Panta Rhei public school sought to convey both freedom and a sense of security.
The architectural design is by Snelder Architecten, a firm that has created a building with numerous open, multifunctional spaces that allow students to familiarize themselves with the educational project.
The interior design continues this idea, giving the spaces an identity that connects with the students’ environment in a direct and personalized way.
The studio in charge of the interior design was inspired by the name of the school: Panta Rhei, which means “everything flows”, “everything is in motion”.
This led to a design that leaves room for the users’ imagination, offering elements that can be used flexibly, and that also communicate the school’s identity. Location: Paris, France. 
The plot on which this building is located is part of the Claude Bernard priority development zone (ZAC), located between the Paris ring road and Mac Donald Boulevard.
Despite its surface area, its location near the canal offered a very interesting poetic potential.
So that the children could fully benefit from the location and enjoy the view, two facades were created, one facing north and the other facing south.
Along Mac Donald Boulevard, a three-story block forms a screen that protects the playground, reduces noise pollution, and provides a sense of depth when looking from the front yard through the entrance hall to the playground.
On the south side of the plot is a lower block facing inward, which houses the offices.
Between the two is a third body that functions as a transparent bridge between the two pieces, visually communicating the courtyard with the canal and filtering traffic noise from the ring road.
For the authors of the project, designing a kindergarten in an extremely small area in the wine-growing village of Limbach, near the Slovak capital of Bratislava, was a very challenging project.
In an area of only 935m2 it was necessary to place classrooms for 40 children, living room, office for the director, kitchen with facilities, recreation spaces and parking area for parents and staff.
In the end, placing the classrooms on the top floor was the only possible solution.
The building has three buildings with capacity for 10 3-year-olds, 20 4-5-year-olds and 10 6-year-olds.
The visual image, with its houses with sloping roofs and playful windows, is very understandable for the children.
The south-east orientation of the windows creates a direct visual contact with the vineyard and thus also visually enlarges the green area around the building.

The natural materials, colors and shapes of the design try to support the pedagogical concept of this kindergarten, whose name – KITA Drachenhöhle – translates as “the dragon’s cave”.
The combination of natural materials with a simple and clear design language brings calm and helps to structure the children’s daily routine. Location: Sant Pere Pescador, Girona, Spain 
It is a small one-story school consisting of a compact building and a courtyard whose formal simplicity optimizes its adaptation to the site.
The white prefabricated concrete block walls and the large windows define a rational architecture, to which the painted steel enclosures and the large screen-printed porch awnings offer a vitalist counterpoint.
In short, this is a small project, carried out by a city council, with a small budget and dedicated to the “little people”.
