The Design

About International Department of Junyi Mittelschulgebäude

Die International Department of Junyi ist ein Mittelschulgebäude in Peking. Das Projekt verwandelt eine ehemalige Basketballhalle in einen Bildungsraum mit gewöhnlichen Klassenzimmern, multifunktionalen Aktivitätsräumen und Gemeinschaftsbereichen. Inspiriert von klassischen Gärten bildet die gefaltete und versetzte Anordnung eine reichhaltige Raumstruktur mit Korridoren und Plattformen. Dachfenster und offene Fensteröffnungen holen Tageslicht, Himmel und Landschaftsausblicke ins Innere. Die Fassade verbindet Cortenstahlpaneele, U-Profilglas und eine Glasvorhangfassade und erzeugt so drei Abstufungen von Transparenz; Bambuspflanzen sind in sie eingefügt.

Unique Properties: Inspired by the classic garden, the design adopted measures of opposite scenery, obstacle scenery,etc. To form a rich and zigzag spatial structure, which feature playful rooms arranged in proper density and order. Those playful spaces act as multifunctional classrooms and shared spaces. The spatial structure offer rich garden-like spaces. The combination of light and natural landscape and staggered corridors and platforms as shared spaces together constitute a dynamic "sightseeing garden".
Dimensions & Packaging: Area: 2942 sqm
Cost: About 8 millions RMB
Type: Middle school

Production Technology: The exterior facade is composed of weathering steel panel, U-shaped glass and glass curtain wall. Three kinds of materials divide the facade into three levels of transparency, from opaque, translucent to transparent. And bamboo trees are inserted into the facade, making it more playful and rich. The combination of rigid weathering steel panel and elegant U-shaped glass forms a sharp contrast, which embodies exchanges of ideas and cultures of East and West.
Design Challenge: The space prototype can be summarized by the word "garden". It is difficult to make the study space into a "garden" in the limited space of 800sqm, and the school wants more rooms. In addition, under the contemporary education model, the classroom cannot be completely open to the outside. Therefore, we plan to create a kind of "garden like" space, and give the space timeliness and fluidity. We added "Flow" to the design to get "Flow Garden". This is similar to the method of classical garden.
Research: The "garden" is placed in the center of the stadium space to form a "garden " of the interior space by opening Windows to the sky. The classrooms are located east and west and open to the outside for natural light and ventilation. The north entrance hall opens to the playground, giving the interior "garden" a view. The skylight at the top provides light and sky for the "garden". This makes the line of sight and the full flow, in line with the description of "flow ".
Inspiration: In order to improve the situation of increasingly overcrowded classrooms, the architectural design team was entrusted to transform the original basketball arena into an educational space for the International Department of Beijing Private Junyi Middle School. In addition to ordinary classrooms, the school also wants to have enough multi-functional activity rooms and communication space for children's free discussion.
Project Duration: Design period: 2018.4- 2018.9
Construction period: 2018.5-2019.9
Location: Beijing
Operation Flow: Architects intended to create a "garden-like" space, which introduces light, sky and natural landscape into the interior to provide a vibrant studying environment.
The staggered arrangement, along with the folded layout and the facade with different degrees of transparency, creates a playful "garden-styled" teaching building. The turning and folding design ways render people sensitive to the environment physically and mentally, thereby experiencing the "sightseeing garden" subconsciously.
