About The Fluidity of Space Multifunctioneel Klaslokaal

De Vloeibaarheid van Ruimte is een interieurontwerp voor een schoolonderwijsruimte in Taiwan. De onderwijsruimte is verdeeld in zes educatieve zones. Flexibele ruimtelijke indeling vormt de hoofdas van het ontwerp, en visuele openheid tussen de zones stimuleert interactie tussen leerlingen. Glazen schuifdeuren maken het mogelijk om zones met elkaar te verbinden of te scheiden. Lineaire lichtstroken, drie grote helgele cirkelvormige lijnen met ingebouwde lichtbronnen, en opgehangen intrekbare stroomvoorzieningen bedienen de gehele ruimte. Verplaatsbare whiteboards, leswagentjes en draagbare stoelen ondersteunen uiteenlopende lessen.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award in Zilver

The Fluidity of Space Multifunctioneel Klaslokaal is winnaar van de A' Design Award in Zilver, een buitengewoon prestigieuze erkenning die wordt toegekend aan topontwerpen die prachtig en indrukwekkend zijn. Winnaars in Zilver zijn enorm briljante en uiterst creatieve werken die de uitmuntende expertise, het talent en de scherpzinnigheid van hun ontwerpers illustreren. The Fluidity of Space Multifunctioneel Klaslokaal wordt verwacht een prachtig paradepaardje te zijn dat opmerkelijk professioneel en diepgaand innovatief is. Dit ontwerp dat de A' Design Award in Zilver heeft gewonnen, is een hoogst opmerkelijke, bewonderde uitvinding die baat en de grenzen van kunst, wetenschap, ontwerp en technologie verlegt. The Fluidity of Space Multifunctioneel Klaslokaal is een zeer benijde creatie die verlangens oproept, positieve gevoelens brengt en verbazing en verwondering doet ontvlammen.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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.
