About Montage of Melodies 학교 인테리어 디자인

'멜로디의 몽타주(Montage of Melodies)'는 중국 베이징에 위치한 K12 국제학교를 위한 인테리어 디자인 프로젝트이다. 이번 리노베이션은 획일적인 기관형 공간을 유아 학습 커뮤니티, 아트 센터, 도서관, 디자인 센터, 공연예술 센터 등 다섯 개의 개성 있는 학습 커뮤니티로 대체하였다. 각 커뮤니티는 특정 연령대와 학습 프로그램에 맞추어 계획되었으며, 저마다 커뮤니티 센터를 갖추고 있다. 가동식 파티션과 이동 가능한 가구를 통해 공간을 자유롭게 재구성할 수 있다. 목재와 콘크리트 마감은 차분하고 자연스러운 분위기를 자아낸다.

Production Technology: Environmental-friendly, cost-effective and low-maintenance are keys to material selection. Low eaves, small fenestrations, simple forms, modest access colors and a large amount of wood and concrete finishes are utilized to create natural and relaxing ambience, counterbalancing the existing solemn environment. Movable partitions, vertically or horizontally operable, and loose furniture instead of fixed millwork, are employed universally to ensure the maximum flexibility of learning spaces.
Design Challenge: It was a privilege to work with ISB educators and administrators whose visions in education complements the tremendous K12 design experience of the design team. The challenge came from the conflict of the limited budget and high expectation from each learning community that refused to compromise. 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 first international school established in Beijing, ISB is composed of 1,650 students from EY3 to G12 representing 50 countries. The existing building with over-unified spaces is unable to represent the diversity of students and learning programs that are critical to curriculum innovation. The designers, in collaboration with educators and administrators, have implemented a proactive architectural approach, Montage of Melodies, to transform it to the cutting edge of learning environment.
Inspiration: Inspired by motion picture montage and music melodies, it is the design intention to create each small learning community with colors, forms and placemaking drastically different from one another and fill it to the existing architectural framework, even though the design logic is consistent: each community, highly open and adaptable, is designed to student age and learning program, with a feature community center, and able to be re-configured to meet ever-changing learning requirements.
Project Duration: The International School of Beijing (ISB) is located in Shunyi District of Beijing, China. The design was commenced in May 2017 followed by construction, lasting for a total duration of nearly three and half years. In September 2020, ISB moved its students and faculties into the newly expanded and renovated facility.
Operation Flow: The project consists of 5 learning communities including Early Learning Community, ES Arts Center, ES Library, MS/HS Design Center and MS/HS Performing Arts Center, each represented by different educators and students, with whom the design team worked closely to establish design strategies together. The collaboration was successful in methods of questionnaires, focus group discussion, design charette, and etc. The designer even worked with kindergartners to observe their feedbacks.
