Project Background
As Technology Powers become the main strategy of the Chinese economy growth, the Shangqiu City is not only carrying forward its traditional culture but also insists on integrating innovative ideas, planning innovative initiatives and forming innovative experiences in technology development, so as to respond to the call of the state actively.
Before designing and planning the project, the design team of Cowboy Group has a site inspection, measuring the practical planning area and conducting an analysis for site height difference, site microtopography, site construction status and site construction style, so that a perfect customized kindergarten is created.
Appropriate color matching helps the project planning to be more relevant to the theme, allowing children to have an immersive experience. The main color of the overall color matching of this project mainly comes from the color of the starry sky fantasy fairy tale series – blue, and will be embellished with some bright colors to increase the overall brightness. Therefore, the designers set the main colors to be blue, purple and orange, but also have some secondary colors such as green and yellow. Green is mainly the color of green plant elements, and yellow is the color of the surface of plants.
In addition, for the partition planning of the flag-raising platform and the green planting area, the design team of Cowboy Group considers the two elements of light and wind direction in the natural geographical factors, and the elements required by the two zones to select the best site.
