Arquitectura Viva 126 Primera infancia · Early Childhood
Doce escuelas en España, dos en Italia y dos en Japón

Early Childhood. The first years of our lives are a critical period of lear- ning and personal development in which the architectural background plays a decisive role. Three specialists examine the spaces of childhood: an expert in kindergartens analyzes the history of this building type since the end of the 19th century up to our days, going over the different teaching methods; a prominent pedagogue and draftsman encourages the design of flexible classrooms adapted to the child’s needs; and an architect reflects on how it is essential to value the perception of children when creating their educational territory.

Spanish Lessons. The gradual entry of women into the workforce has brought about the necessity to build more preschools, public and private. Twelve buildings in Spain, arranged here by alphabetical order of authors, show the diversity of this type: a school of wood and tile in Ávila; a prism that looks out onto a ravine in Almería; a volume with a green roof in Zaragoza; a hori- zontal piece challenging the sea in La Coruña; a building of industrial flavor, also in the capital of Aragón; a pixelled school and an experimental space, both in the vicinity of Madrid; a series of concrete boxes near Barcelona; a playful house with eyes in a small town of Almería; a patio with a protecting struc- ture and a sheltering sequence of cylinders, the two of them also on the outskirts of Madrid; and a refurbished military station in Granada.

News from Venice. The 53 Art Biennial reflects upon the spatial limits of the artistic field, while the new headquarters of the Pinault Foundation in an old warehouse add another touristic attraction to the floating city.
Heterodox Canons. Both the reorganization of the Reina Sofía Museum collection and the exhibition at the Grand Palais devoted to the trompe-l’oeil in the history of art redefine the dominant discourses of the discipline.
The Aura of Art. The last book written by the disappeared Juan Antonio Ramírez, reviewed by Simón Marchán, examines contemporary art under the lens of a long-span historical perspective, and denies the end of modernity.

International Classrooms. Italy and Japan, two countries with oppo- site education traditions, converge here in the presentation of four proposals that enrich the visual imagination of children; a white fortress financed by a textile company in Treviso; a series of prismatic volumes whose interiors combine colored walls in Vicenza; and two kindergartens, one with a bubbling roof that uses natural structures in Shiga Prefecture and another one that, made of wood, transforms the roof into a playground near Tokyo.

To close, the sudden death of the art historian and critic Juan Antonio Ramírez, collaborator of this magazine for over twenty years, entails the loss of a bright and incisive gaze into the world of culture.
