About Montage of Melodies اسکول کا داخلی ڈیزائن

"مونٹاژ آف میلوڈیز" چین کے شہر بیجنگ میں واقع ایک K12 بین الاقوامی اسکول کے لیے ایک داخلی ڈیزائن منصوبہ ہے۔ اس تجدیدِ تعمیر میں یکساں و روایتی ادارہ جاتی جگہوں کی جگہ پانچ الگ الگ تعلیمی کمیونٹیز قائم کی گئی ہیں، جن میں ابتدائی تعلیمی کمیونٹی، آرٹس سینٹر، لائبریری، ڈیزائن سینٹر اور پرفارمنگ آرٹس سینٹر شامل ہیں۔ ہر کمیونٹی کو ایک مخصوص عمر کے گروہ اور تعلیمی پروگرام کے لیے ترتیب دیا گیا ہے، اور ہر ایک کا اپنا کمیونٹی سینٹر ہے۔ حرکت پذیر پارٹیشنز اور آزادانہ رکھے جانے والے فرنیچر کی بدولت ان جگہوں کو نئے سرے سے ترتیب دیا جا سکتا ہے۔ لکڑی اور کنکریٹ کی فنشنگ ایک پُرسکون اور فطری ماحول پیدا کرتی ہے۔

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.
