About Boxes and Yards دبستان ابتدایی

جعبه‌ها و حیاط‌ها یک دبستان ابتدایی در منطقه چانگ‌پینگ پکن، چین است. این مدرسه با مساحت ناخالص ساخت‌وساز ۲۹٬۰۹۸ متر مربع، در سال ۲۰۱۹ به بهره‌برداری رسید. چیدمان فضایی این پروژه به‌جای طرح سنتی راهرو و کلاس‌های مجزا، از اجتماعات یادگیری بهره می‌برد که هر یک حول یک سالن استراحت مخصوص پایه تحصیلی شکل گرفته‌اند. جعبه‌هایی که کتابخانه، سالن ورزشی و سلف‌سرویس را در خود جای داده‌اند، به‌گونه‌ای چرخانده شده‌اند که حیاط‌های مثلثی‌شکلی را ایجاد می‌کنند و نور طبیعی و تهویه هوا را به داخل می‌آورند. فضاهای داخلی چندضلعی نیز به‌عنوان مراکز یادگیری انعطاف‌پذیر عمل می‌کنند. این بنا از استانداردهای خانه غیرفعال (Passive House) پیروی می‌کند و از مصالحی با نگهداری کم استفاده می‌نماید.

Production Technology
Although the wall finish is mostly latex paint due to tight budget, the building is dynamic and playful with rotated massing and spinning color blocks on walls and floors. The interior polygonal spaces, named as Hub of Intelligence, replacing corridors, serve as Lifestyle Center, Student Center, Makerspace, Cybercafe and other multipurpose learning centers for lectures, demonstrations, exhibitions, performances, and project-based learning, achieving Learning Anywhere, Anytime.
Design Challenge
The challenge came from the conflict of the tight budget and strict building code restrictions against the high expectation on transforming the school with a history of over 100 years to a genuine learner-centered School of the 21st Century. The design team have successfully chosen the most cost-effective, environmental friendly and low-maintenance materials and methods to turn the design intent to the best reality.
Research
The design team have fully implemented the methodology of learning communities to create a school for Learning Anywhere Anytime with a multi-dimensional and multi-center space system. Throughout the design process, the architectural concept was firmly rooted in the idea of education, and spatial layout was a priority over artificial forms. The design team was successful in creating a learning community that is highly versatile in its transparency, openness, interactivity and adaptability.
Inspiration
The learning community centered with a Grade Lounge constitutes the basic unit of space layout and provides a sense of home base, forming a series of boxes together with the library, gymnasium, canteen and other learning facilities. Triangular courtyards are created in between the rotated boxes, introducing ample natural light and ventilation inside. This generative design process, called as a Story of Boxes and Yards, has greatly enhanced openness and interactivity of learning spaces.
Project Duration
The Story of Boxes and Yards, with another name, Huang Cheng Gen Primary School Changping Campus, is located in Changping District of Beijing, China. The project construction was completed in 2019.
Operation Flow
The design team believes that design is an effective tool to make changes in education and future. Education philosophies such as multiple Intelligences by the famous educator Howard Gardener, Education as growth by John Dewey, and the best practice of small learning communities are well embedded in design. The school educators also embrace these concepts and complemented the work of designers with their visions and practice in education.
