The Fluidity of Space
Classroom for WWJ Architect
The core motivation of this project is a group of teachers who wanted to make changes in conventional teaching and to transform old classroom spaces into a base for Stream teaching. The emphasis is therefore on inspiration, serendipity, and creativity as the goals of this project. Divided into six educational areas namely science, technology, robotics, mechanics, art, and mathematics, and 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 interact.

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.

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.
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.
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.
