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.

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.
