    01    /    INTRODUCTION


    As the society started to consider more and more on the children’s education, it seems that the traditional educational system, which centers around home and school, cannot satisfy the need for the children’s multidisciplinary development. According to the architect Christopher Day, who has extensive experiences in designing schools and early childhood centers, the environment is not only a space where they live and grow up every day, but also contains the day-to-day, dynamic yet “hidden curriculum”. Such hidden curriculum would incentivize creativity, elasticity, social responsibility for children, which is missing in the traditional format of education. But environment education can be limited by a lot of factors in urban environments, and most children are still experiencing the linearity between the two points of home and school. On the other hand, Luxelake’s geographical qualities and its natural environment provides the best site for children’s environment based education. With design and technology going hand-in-hand, our project aims to transform the Luxelake site to a playful classroom, and an educational playground. Through the interventions of smart technology and the organization of communal events, we intend to enable children to learn through exploration and play.
