2013 年的芦山地震对雅安地区各县带来了巨大损失，深圳壹基金公益基金会于 2014 年全面启动灾后重建计划，开展灾后社区及学校工程建设。位于雅安市汉源县的河西乡中心幼儿园则是该计划援建的 13 所农村乡镇公办幼儿园之一，建设规模为 9 班幼儿园。东意建筑作为幼儿园援建项目的咨询及设计单位全程参与其中。基于长期在乡村幼儿园方面的建设经验，本项目尝试以更为宏观的视角看待乡村建设问题，处理建筑与村落的关系。

After the great loss inflicted by Lushan earthquake on various counties in Ya’an in 2013, One Foundation, a Shenzhen-based charity, rolled out its fully-fledged disaster restoration efforts in 2014, focusing mainly on rebuilding quake-wrecked community and schools. Hexi Village Kindergarten in Hanyuan County of Ya’an, with 9 classes in total, is among the 13 rural public kindergartens in the village/town aided by the project. Atelier Y was involved throughout the process as the project consultant and architectural designer in rebuilding the kindergartens. Drawing references from extensive track records in building rural kindergartens, this project adopted a broader-ranging perspective to approach the construction of the countryside and manage the relation between architecture and village.

河西乡位于汉源县县城北部约 10 公里的狭长的横断山脉的山谷地带中，该区域日照强烈，气候干燥，降雨少。村落坐落于峡谷河流的西侧的山腰上，朝向东侧的大相岭山脉。陡峭的大相岭犹如屏风一般，矗立在村落东侧，将视野导向东南方向打开。村落呈线性形态沿乡道及地形散落分布。

在村落布局和地形关系中，场地处在整个乡村的核心，面向山谷，拥有良好的河谷景观。选址紧邻乡中心小学校区南端的一块不规则形梯田上。场地内高差变化明显，西北高东南低，东西落差约为 4 米，南北为 2 米。层层的台地是场地的特征，在局促的场地中布局较大规模的幼教建筑（9班）是本项目的难点。

Hexi Village resides in the narrow valley strip of Hengduan Mountains around 10km north of Hanyuan County, where ample sunshine, aridity and low precipitation feature the local clime. The village sits on the mountainside west of the valley river, facing the steep Daxiang Range in the opposite direction, which, like a partition on the east end of the village, directs one’s eyes to the southeast. The village houses take a linear layout, discretely dispersed along the main road of village and in different terrains.

In terms of the project’s position and its relation with the terrain, the kindergarten occupies the center of the village that looks out on the valley with a bright valley view. More specifically, the siting is close to an irregularly shaped terrace field south of the Hexi Village Primary School. Carrying a clear difference in height, the northern and western parts of the site overlook its southern and eastern ends, with the east-west drop at approximately 4m, and north-south, 2m. Endless tiers of terrace, a salient feature of the site, challenge the project to fit a sizable pre-schooling structure (9 classes in total) in a relatively cramped space.

河西乡和中国大部分乡村一样，各类公共基础设施缺乏，无序建设，缺乏公共性社区空间，环境品质恶劣，其幼教资源短缺只是各类问题中的一个表征。因此在本项目中，建筑师尝试利用设计回应多个层面上的问题：

1. 将幼教建筑作为一个触点，在为幼儿提供健康舒适的成长环境的同时，也能发展出可能的社区活动场所，从而达到回馈乡村的目的，最大化实现援建项目的价值。 2. 在建筑的形态和布局方面，利用强化场所特征，重塑村落的核心场所认同的设计策略，使幼儿园成为全村小朋友仰视的“城堡”、是心目向往的“乐园”。 3. 使用者层面上，幼儿的运动与游戏环境是设计的核心问题。在场所缺乏的村落中，幼儿园便是放飞自由的天地。在安全性前提下，设计将不同尺度与模式的活动空间整合在建筑中，从而提升建筑中触发各类活动的可能性。
