LAVA在越南完成了一個新的生態幼兒園，其空間鼓勵好奇心，基於活動的學習以及與自然互動。該建築位於越南河內附近的榮市，被稱為ecoKid，其由三層半圓形建築組成，三層建築通過橋梁相連，形成一系列相互聯繫的室內外空間，既有趣又安全，同時又使建築更具特色。
LAVA (laboratory for visionary architecture) has completed a new eco-kindergarten in vietnam featuring spaces that encourage curiosity, activity-based learning and interaction with nature. located in vinh, near hanoi and dubbed ecoKid, the structure unfolds with three semi-circular buildings over three levels linked by bridges generating, a series of interconnected indoor and outdoor spaces that are playful and safe while making an architectural statement.
對於ecoKid項目，LAVA將建築與周圍城市景觀相協調。弧形造型使相鄰湖泊的景觀最大化，同時將室內空間與每個不同的庭院相連。多個以原色裝裱的圓形鏤空開窗的高度和尺寸各不相同，反映了不同年齡段的需求。白色背景上的強烈窗框顏色使其成為一個吸引孩子們的場所。
for the ecoKid project, LAVA contextualized the buildings with the scale of the surrounding urban landscape. the curved shapes allow views of the adjacent lake to be maximized, while connecting the indoor spaces with each of the differently focused courtyards. the multiple circular cut-out windows framed in primary colors vary in height and size, reflecting the needs of the different age groups. the strong window frame colors on the white background make it an attractive venue for the children.
ecoKid建築結構形成了三個庭院/操場，中間有一片森林，將空間與自然連接在一起。室外空間的建築理念是是「風水五行」-金，木，水，火，土。這些室內外遊樂場，運動中心和遊泳池亦有助身體成長，鼓勵健康的生活方式。
the ecoKid building configuration forms three courtyard/playgrounds with a forest in between, connecting the space to nature at every point. the architectural concept for the outdoor spaces is the five elements according to feng shui — earth is seen in the sandpits and earth mounds; water; fire; metal and wood. physical development is also nurtured through these indoor and outdoor playgrounds, a sports centre and a swimming pool promoting a healthy lifestyle.
設計語言-有機的形狀，簡單的建築線條，原色，按年齡劃分的不同立面/開窗-都關乎到與成長。LAVA董事Chris bosse評論道，「一個面向未來一代的教育項目讓我們質疑自己的教學方式，並提出了挑戰。
我們創造了一個學習環境，鼓勵探索發現、好奇心、與自然的互動和以活動為基礎的學習，以促進兒童的全面發展，而不是一個無菌的盒子，老師在前面講，孩子們在後面一排排地聽著。
這一願景是通過一種基於自然和結構幾何的設計語言來實現的，它激發了人們對世界有趣的探索。」
the design language – organic shapes, simple architectural lines, primary colors, different facades/windows coded by age – is all about growth. it’s child-friendly without being childish,』 comments chris bosse, director LAVA. 『an education project for the future generation challenges us to question the ways we teach and learn. rather than a sterile box with a teacher in front and kids in rows listening, we created a learning environment where discovery, curiosity, interaction with nature and activity-based learning are encouraged to promote children’s holistic development. this vision is realized through a design language based on nature and its structural geometries that inspires playful exploration of the world.』
