About Huajiang Science Lab 課室改造

呢個專科課室作為實驗環境，讓兒童可以進行基礎科學實踐，包括喺自然領域內嘅觀察、探究、假設建立、實驗同推理。隨住教育不斷演進，課室必須適應當代需求。除咗更新必要設備外，方便進出課室嘅配套設施亦屬必要。空間重新配置旨在促進師生之間嘅互動交流，營造輕鬆有利嘅學習氛圍。

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.
