Centro de Atención Integral a la Niño, Cariño El Remanso in Colombia by EMS ArquitecturaJuly 27th, 2012 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: EMS Arquitectura This is the first of 3 buildings projected for the “CARIÑO” institutional program, driven by social manager of Santiago de Cali and the Ministry of Education. It is located in the district 21, east of the city, adjacent to the Cauca River dam, on a lot that for years had been used by the community as a park, but legally would be destined for the construction of an educational institution. The development of the project would generate a new form of living space whereas their new occupants would be children between 2 and 5 years.  Image Courtesy EMS Arquitectura

In turn the building through an open plan, allows the relationship of the green area with dam, which is the most important element of the place.

The second level consists of ten classroom that are arranged in couplets with a courtyard between them, allowing kids to interact with the outside and have both control by educators, equally, there is a large central courtyard led to the park creating a direct relationship between the recreational area of the building and the neighborhood playground.
