안달루시아(Andalusian)마을에 위치한 학교 운동장의 이전과 현재는 스페인 건축가, Julio Barreno Gutiérrez가 디자인한 오리가미 파빌리온을 통해 구분된다. 이전 운동장은 학교 마스터플랜에 의해 어쩔수 없이 상이한 두개의 레벨로 구분, 효용성이 부족한 장소였다. (연결성 뿐만 아니라 어린아이들에게는 위험한 장소로 방치되었다.) 이러한 환경 개선을 위해 (연결성 증대, 위험요소 배제) 얇은 청록색 지붕과 강렬한 분홍색 하단부 측면으로 디자인된 파빌리온이 제안된다. (접혀진 1cm 두께의 스틸은 오리가미;종이접기를 모티브로 역동적인 공간감과 다채로운 색감을 디자인한다.) 파빌리온은 연결성 확보를 위한 램프와 계단을 외부환경으로 부터 보호하는 동시에 어린이 뿐만 아니라 어른들도 즐길 수 있는 쉼터공간을 생성한다.

Thin sheets of brightly painted steel have been folded to create this origami-inspired canopy, designed to shelter a school playground in an Andalusian village.
Featuring a pale turquoise roof and a hot-pink underside, the angular pavilion was created by Spanish architect Julio Barreno Gutiérrez for a school in Algodonales – a small village in the Cádiz region of Andalusia in southern Spain.
The playground of the Principe de Asturias school is split over two levels, which before now were poorly connected.

To improve access between them, the architect added a ramp and a short flight of stairs.
"Two playgrounds are separated in two different levels to the west and north sides, a different level that became dangerous for the little kids," explained Barreno Gutiérrez, whose past school-design projects include an extension featuring lime-green interiors and a zigzagging walkway.
"The goal for this project was the functional necessity of building a space protected from the strong sun or untimely rains, to allow everyday breaks, and an interesting improvement of the connection between the two playgrounds," he added.
The metal canopy was anchored across the two different levels to shade the ramp and staircase from the sun and rain.
Sheets of one-centimetre-thick steel were bent to create the faceted shape and pointed legs. Both the bright colouring and folding technique were intended to be reminiscent of origami.
"The architectural tool was found in the fancy children's world full of colour and fun," said the architect.
"The structural quality and the inherent flexibility of origami, typical of the many craft activities developed in class by the children themselves, became the genetic property to formally develop the managed element," he added.
