The kite we designed for 1.14 is a shelter which creates a shadow under which a series of different spaces can be activated for different purposes: among them the kite is the main shelter, which protects from the summer heat and is divided in two parts, one for the nursery and the other for the elder children. A series of art labs, two swimming pools and sand playgrounds complete the landscape.

The kite is a concrete made shelter, cross-sectioned and folded by a street, a training path which connects the spaces all together and reaches the swimming pool at the very top of the park.

The concrete structure, which coincides with the form of the building produces the ideal conditions for the summer conditioning, without the necessity of any mechanical installations.
