About The Fluidity of Space 다목적 교실

'공간의 유동성(The Fluidity of Space)'은 대만의 한 학교 교육 공간을 위한 인테리어 디자인이다. 교육 공간은 여섯 개의 학습 영역으로 구분되며, 유연한 공간 배치가 디자인의 주축을 이루고 각 영역 간의 시각적 개방성은 학생들의 상호작용을 촉진한다. 유리 슬라이딩 도어를 통해 각 영역을 하나로 통합하거나 분리할 수 있다. 선형 조명 띠와 광원이 내장된 세 개의 커다란 선명한 노란색 원형 라인, 그리고 천장에 매달린 신축형 전원 공급 장치가 공간 전체에 기능을 제공한다. 이동식 화이트보드와 교육용 트롤리, 휴대 가능한 의자는 다양한 형태의 수업을 뒷받침한다.

Behind the Design

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The entire teaching space is divided into six educational areas, in the overall design of the space, the main axis of the design is a flexible spatial allocation, utilizing visual penetration between the areas and the open flow of circulation to stimulate student interaction and guide them to think flexibly and creatively. The designers hope that the overall space can have more possibilities that are different from traditional teaching owing to the flexibility of movable parts.
Dimensions & Packaging: Considering in the future it will mostly be science teaching venues, the overall design in many aspects emphasizes flexibility as the design concept. In a large number of spaces, glass sliding doors are installed to provide interaction and integration; in the lighting and power supply plan, three large scale bright yellow circular lines, built-in light sources and tracks, suspended, slidable, and auto-retractable power supplies are installed to provide power throughout the space.
Tags: Smart technology, Multi-purpose classroom, Flexible space, Solid geometry, Old school building renovation.
Production Technology: The entire space has been designed in many aspects in response to the implementation of science education, so the space planning and design do not conform to the singularity of the traditional teaching system. In each space, linear lighting strips and laminate lighting are used in harmony with each other, and functional piping, such as streamlined lighting strips and automatic retractable power supplies, are used to improve the uniformity and inconvenience of traditional classroom piping.
Design Challenge: In the overall design of the building, intelligent light in the corridors was used as the lighting scheme, precisely setting and using the angle of light refraction, and through the reflection of the light on the dark metal and glass classroom walls and gray flooring, three-dimensional geometric refraction of the corridor is brought forth with a sense of technology, breaking away from the original standard lighting patterns in the space, presenting overlapping refractive frames and illusions.
Research: The designers took the flexibility of free and transparent space as a pre-process consideration, and used streamlining curves, and rounded surfaces as elements in the configuration of various teaching spaces. In the library, curved shapes are often used as the main axis of spatial configuration, supplemented by functional equipment such as bright yellow whiteboard walls for writing and portable chairs. In the math classroom, a movable teaching trolley and a multi-layered mobile whiteboard are used as flexible accessories; the robot classroom utilizes the interlacing of linear light tubes as the main axis of the entire space.
Inspiration: The project is based on an open architecture, which not only provides various teaching needs but also avoids framing the creativity of teaching by space, hence the designers retaining the flexibility and functionality of the place. This project uses smooth linear elements and the cutting of circular curves to maintain the flowing atmosphere of the space, and at the same time, matches design ideas with spatial functions.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2019 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The designers utilized methods different from the traditional education system and created a teaching field with many flexible possibilities. For example, in the robot and mathematics classroom, the designers used bright yellow tones as the highlight of the space and used innovative configurations that are different from traditional spaces, such as streamlined, curved light strips, and geometrical cutting of floor panels, to submerge function in these geometrical configurations, harmoniously presenting both aesthetics and function.
