Diplom. Leimondo Nursery School by Archivision Hirotani Studio. Pyramidal chimneys perforated by square windows draw light into the playrooms of a Japanese nursery by Archivision Hirotani Studio.
Top: photograph by Archivision Hirotani Studio The pointed skylights provide the single-storey Leimondo Nursery School with high ceilings in each of the seven playrooms, as well as in the children's bathroom. Openings of assorted shapes create windows and doors through the internal walls of the nursery. A chair has been mounted on the ceiling of one playroom, whilst five differently coloured clocks line the wall of another.
Located in the city of Nagahama, the nursery provides daycare for children up to the age of five. Other preschools featured on Dezeen in recent months include a Japanese school filled with overlapping arches and an Italian kindergarten split into house-shaped blocks - see all our stories about nurseries and kindergartens here.

Federico Soriano Pelaez shared with us their third prize winning proposal for the New Taipei City Museum of Art.
Their aim was to design a museum which contains all museums. A museum which is the entirety of all the museums in the world. They collected 100 of the most important museums of art from around the world. It is architecture as a refined abstraction of a historic landscape. It is a recollection of generic fragments from the plans of the museums from around the world which will be inserted into the Taipei City Museum of Art. Do you want just another project?

The design concept, which the architects call “A Fluid Dream,” borrows from several sources. The surrealism of Salvador Dali is a driving force of formal fluidity of the design, while the concept of a nest egg is the source of privacy for the hotel units, derived from the affectionate nickname of the nearby stadium. Read on for more on this project after the break. This dream hotel will occupy approximately 10,000 sq meters and will have about 1,500 square meters of courtyard space. The interior spaces are designed with a fluid formality, from columns to atriums and balconies; the spatial definition of the interiority of the hotel is soft and continuous. The interior space is designed from the user’s perspective. Yellow River Hotel / Sunlay Design - Yellow River Hotel / Sunlay Design (128462) - ArchDaily.

Architecture is often considered a social art of function adjustment that seeks an implicit idea of permanence and formal consistency.
This usually results in a demand for a creation that sustains the progress of time in an attitude of survival and maturation. However, on this intervention by architecture firms FREE and OODA, the building’s integration and urban landscape was based on the awareness of the direct relationship that the site has with works by internationally renowned architects (SANAA and Alcino Soutinho) and in compliance with the heterogeneity of the surrounding urban fabric. Thus, the building assumes its identity but deliberately quiet and in continuity with the pre-existence. More images and architects’ description after the break. The access to the building is from the center and is controlled by the front office and reception area in the central double-height area that is assumed as a hinge between the two levels.
