Backen

Sammanfattning: Backen is a kindergarten with intriguing learning through a museum and nature space. It is located in Sundbyholm, a place just outside Eskilstuna.Sundbyholm is a cozy and nice place, it has a lot of attractions. There is a trotting track, castles, boat docks, nature areas and homes. There are not many community functions nearby and you can get there by car, it has recently built a bike path that goes along the main road. For Sundbyholm to be able to grow and families with children to want to live in the area, schools, preschools and grocery stores are needed. I chose to do a preschool as the nearest one today is 11 km away. Something that was important for the people who live there is their nature and to take care of the nature that exists. There are primarily fields nearby and some forest. I wanted to build in the middle of the forest to get close to as many homes as possible in the development I saw the homes grow. With that said, I did not want to take anything from nature but get the building to interact and maybe contribute to the landscape with its green roof and large windows into the greenhouse. The building is made of wood with a porridge roof that serves as a park for visitors and the kindergarten. There is a large full-grown tree in the middle of the building that is there to preserve the forest but also put it in the center. The façade is made of wood that is wrapped in squares, which makes it resemble a cone and blends in nicely with the pines. the idea is that the preschool and the nature museum would collaborate and help each other in learning and caring for plants. The children get to learn about nature and cultivation.
