ELAP Arquitectos Ingenieros designed a day-care facility in Vélez-Rubio town in Southern Spain. The daycare center has been designed by architects Eva Luque and Alejandro Pascual bearing their two children in mind whilst designing with playfulness using large circular customized aluminum framed windows. The daycare center designed in a playful and colorful way. As color plays a very important role in the first few years of cognitive development as young children start learning how to solve puzzles, and form sentences.
The babies nurseries therefore have blue interiors, which promotes relaxation, ages 1 and 2 benefit from the color orange, a psycho-motor simulator [definition of psycho-motor: of or relating to motor action directly proceeding from mental activity] and the oldest youngsters have green interiors to evoke nature in common areas. Colorful vinyl flooring and colored ribbons in the hallways draw the children to gather in the multipurpose space used for having lunch-time and playtime.
Besides working wonders for the children, the building has garnered good buzz in the largely residential surrounding neighborhood. Like most small Spanish towns, this one is mainly populated by retired seniors, and they're delighted by the lively day-care center, with its sounds of children playing and running. The new Guardería Municipal Vélez-Rubio animates an old village with colors, shapes, and ideas.
