如果让时光倒流，我还是愿意童年幕天席地，玩水摸鱼踩泥巴，爬树滚草打秋千，怎么欢乐怎么玩。
因为都市的柏油路太硬，踩不出足迹，孩子们上幼儿园更受拘束。如果有这样一家位于日本满足儿童野蛮生长的幼儿园，那我的选择就不一样了。
这家幼儿园设计于2007年，楼顶环状循环，没有尽头，因为小孩子喜欢兜圈。
01 自由奔跑
这座建筑圆周为183米，一个男孩在早上能跑6000米。
And the circumference of this building is 183 meters. A boy ran 6,000 meters in the morning.
更令人惊奇的是，这个幼儿园的孩子平均跑4000米 ，跟其他幼儿园的小孩相比，有最高的运动能力。
幼儿园园长说：“我不去训练他们。 我们把他们放在楼顶，就像羊群一样， 他们一直跑。
The principal of the kindgarden said:"I don't train them. We leave them on top of the roof. Just like sheep." They keep running.
02 自由玩耍
幼儿园迫于政府压力为屋顶装了栏杆，在突出来的三棵树边，装网为栏杆。
The kindgarden was made a handrail for the roof under the government'force. It also had a net sticking out from the edge of the trees, So that it can catch the children falling off.
这张网变成了孩子们的乐园， 有时会有40个小孩故意掉进去。一个男孩因为很喜欢一棵树，还啃树皮。
要是有活动，孩子们会坐在楼顶边上，楼顶设计得够低，从下往上看真不错，一群动物园的猴子。
And at the time of an event, they sit on the edge.
地面还装了各种水龙头，想往朋友身上洒水还有沐浴喷头。一个男孩在水龙头下不洗靴子，而是往靴子里灌水。
一年里，这个幼儿园大部分时间都是完全开放的，户内和户外没有限界。
This kindergarten is completely open most of the year. And there is no boundary between inside and outside.
简单来说，这个建筑物就只是一个屋顶，室外和室内之间也没有限界，所以孩子们不会觉得紧张。Basically this architecture is a roof. And also there is no boundary between classrooms, So children don't get nervous.
幼儿园园长说：“要是边上的男孩不想呆在室内，我们就让他出去，他会回来的，这里就一个圆圈，总会绕回来。”
The principal says if the boy in the corner doesn't want to stay in the room, we let him go. He will come back eventually, because it's a circle, it comes back.
03 自由学习
每个教室至少有一个天窗，圣诞节里圣诞老人就是从这里下来的。
Each classroom has at least one skylight. And this is where Santa Claus comes down at the time of Christmas.
教室之间是用木头做的抽屉隔断的，孩子们本该帮老师们忙，可他们却坐到里面玩。
The classrooms were divided by wooden . Children were supposed to help teachers. They just played with them.
教室还有洗手盆，他们在洗手盆边聊天。教室里总会有些树，猴孩子试着把另一个猴孩子钓下去。
And there was a washbasin in each classroom. They talk to each other around the well. And there are always some trees in the classroom. A monkey trying to fish another monkey from above.
在这个幼儿园，声音没有界限，但孩子们在课堂里表现出惊人的集中力。
In this kindergarten, the sound had no boundry. But these children show amazing concentration in class.
因为我们的祖先是在森林出生，我们本来就不应该生活在无声状态下。而孩子们在噪音中会学得更好，睡得更香。
Because our kind grew up in the jungle with noise. You are not supposed to be in silence. And the children can learn and sleep better in noise.
我们既没有在夏天被晒化，也没有在雨天被淋化。因此孩子们也应该在户外带着，我们应该这样对待他们。
We never melt in rain or in the sun, so children are supposed to be outside, that is how we should treat them.
04 真正的生活
还有一座附楼，就在椭圆形幼儿园旁边。这座建筑只有5米高，共七层。
当然天花高度很低，所以必须考虑安全问题。孩子们试着跑进去，有时撞到头。但没事，他们的复原能力很强。
And of course, the ceiling height is very low. So you have to consider safety. They tried to go in. And sometimes hit the head. But it's okay, they're resilient.
现今，小孩子需要尝试一些轻微危险的滋味，在这种情况下，他们学会互相帮助，这就是小社会。
Today, kids need a small dosage of danger. And in this kind of occasion, they learn to help each other. This is society. This is the kind of opportunity we are losing these days.
设计师认为不要去控制孩子，也不要过分保护。他们有时需要跌倒，也需要受一点伤，那样会让他们学习如何在这个世界生存。
他认为建筑是能够改变这个世界的。建筑能改变人们的生活，这也是改变孩子们生活的一种尝试！
这个开放式的幼儿园既能让孩子们在里面自由地奔跑、玩耍、学习，同时还教会他们什么才是真正的生活，孩子们值得拥有。
