The Design

About Huajiang Science Lab Renovatio Classis

Classis specializata fungit ut ambitus experimentalis ubi liberi exercent exercitationes scientificas fundamentales sicut observationem, inquisitionem, generationem hypothesium, experimentationem, et inferentiam intra regnum naturale. Cum educatio evolvit, classes ad necessitates hodiernas adaptandae sunt. Praeter renovationem instrumentorum essentialium, provisiones pro accessu commodo ad classem atque ex classe imperativae sunt. Reconfigurationes spatiales spectant ad facilitandam interactionem auctiorem inter magistros et discipulos, foventes atmosphaeram discendi remissam et idoneam.

Unique Properties: The specialized classroom is an experimental space. In the realm of nature, children engage in crucial steps such as observation, questioning, hypothesis formation, experimentation, and drawing conclusions. A new type of classroom must adapt to the progress of the times. Apart from updating basic equipment, it should also provide areas where children can easily come and go after class.
Dimensions & Packaging: Total area: 108 Square meter
Tags: Classroom, Renovation, Interior Design, Design Movement
Production Technology: Wood carpentry and on site painting
Design Challenge: The creative challenge of this project is to create the connection between the main classroom and the small library space next to it. The semi-circle opening connects the two spaces as students going through the gate for their explorations. Therefore, the design challenges the controlling student's emotional states by choosing the color and material.
Research: This project is a part of renovating educational space for younger children, such as elementary, junior, and high school. The principal of design approach is to enhance student's exposure to the high aesthetic standard while learning at their school.
Inspiration: The space is divided into two main areas: the primary teaching area and the exploration area. The teacher's preparation desk is arranged in a place where students can easily be seen entering and exiting for management purposes. Additionally, a handwashing station is added to significantly reduce the time spent on washing equipment. The curved ceiling symbolizes centripetal force towards learning and represents the sky of the universe and curiosity about nature.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2022 in Taipei City and finished in August 2023.
Operation Flow: The classroom is designed for science experiment class where the teacher performs in front of students prior to the students conduct their experiments. Therefore, the U-shaped students desks are facing the teacher and large touch screen at the center of the classroom.
