6. CADN Childhood Center
From Social Sustainability & Adaptative Architecture, Colombia
The Kid Centre is conceived under the principles of Adaptive Architecture, offering flexible spaces that support children's autonomy across different stages of growth and development.
The project also embraces social sustainability, forming part of a broader urban network that serves children and the surrounding community. From the very beginning, the design process was participatory, prioritizing the voices and needs of its users. The building reclaims and activates public space as an extension of the interior, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.
At its core, the project promotes inclusivity, universal accessibility, and a phenomenological approach to learning and movement, where discovery happens through the act of walking, playing, and experiencing space as a continuous flow of meaningful interactions.
