About Square 러닝 센터 인테리어 디자인

Square는 스위스의 한 대학교를 위한 러닝 센터입니다. 인테리어는 개방형 그리드 구조로 조성되었으며, 끊김 없는 연결성과 다기능성이라는 개념에 기반을 두고 있습니다. 디자인은 두 개 층의 상부 공간, 지상층, 지하층에 걸쳐 약 7,000제곱미터의 면적을 아우릅니다. 개방형 공간은 15개의 실(室), 카페테리아, 라운지와 결합되어 있습니다. 이동식 가구, 프레젠테이션 장비, 접이식 무대, 러그, 식물로 구성된 툴박스를 통해 각 공간을 진행되는 행사에 맞추어 자유롭게 구성할 수 있습니다. 대부분의 요소에는 캐스터 바퀴가 장착되어 있어 자유롭게 이동시킬 수 있습니다.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Built as an open grid, Square is based on the concept of unbroken connectivity and multifunctionality. All spaces can be used for dynamic learning and teaching scenarios – from communication, collaboration and presentations in large groups to concentration and individual work. Most spaces are, therefore, equipped with movable furniture and equipment that perfectly match the requirements of the event taking place and the number of people in attendance.
Dimensions & Packaging: With a total area of around 7000 square meters, Square has two upper floors, a ground floor and a basement.

Production Technology: To accommodate the daily changes in use of space, the interior architects developed a customized toolbox concept – a set of elements like furniture, presentation equipment, a foldable stage, rugs and plants – all of which can be easily combined to create distinctive layouts and atmospheres within the open plaza. To increase the spatial versatility, most items – from chairs and stools to whiteboards, tables and plants – are fitted with castor wheels allowing the items to be moved around freely.
Design Challenge: Our main task was supporting the artistic director’s team in modelling countless learning and event scenarios that can take place in Square and developing a comprehensive scheme of furniture, presentation equipment and architectural elements that would satisfy the current and future uses of the space. Additionally, we also designed the cafeteria and all 15 learning and meeting rooms.
Research: The University of St. Gallen aims to become a symbol of innovation in education and the new learning center is an important step towards achieving this goal. Built as a prototype for the university of the future, Square encourages dialogue between science, society, business, politics and culture. In the largest fundraising campaign in the history of the university, the Hsg Foundation received around 65 million Swiss francs in donations to build Square as well as to support its content development in the initial phase.
Inspiration: Square is an experimental field for new, future-oriented forms of learning and teaching. It was designed not to be just another university campus building, but rather a home to new ideas and concepts, experimentation and debate. The building was designed by Sou Fujimoto, and Evolution Design was commissioned to develop a comprehensive interior and learning concept that enables experimental learning and teaching and to fit out the building and several roof terraces.
Project Duration: The construction of the project started in November 2019 and was completed in November 2021. The interior fit-out project started in June 2021 and was completed in February 2022.
Operation Flow: Square consists of open plan areas – designed as an inspiring journey through the building – and fifteen rooms extended across three floors. The ground floor welcomes visitors with a cafeteria, a lounge, rooms for learning and pop-up events and the main open plaza. This is a bustling space where activities change daily: ranging from events with the participation of external guests to workshops, masterclasses and courses, and students working in groups on their projects.
