The unexpected placement of a kindergarten inside an airport becomes an opportunity to investigate a possible inversion between earth and sky. The project focuses on the juxtaposition of opposites scale and materials: the intimate nature of a nursery school and the monumental scale of an airport, the natural colours of the ground and of the sky in the transparent walls.
