Learning center

Krill-Office for Resilient Cities and Architecture designed a flexible, immersive cobalt blue learning workshop for Zadkine students: the Beauty & Design Lab.  Located at the Karel Doormanstraat, a shopping street in the heart of Rotterdam, a former covid test site was repurposed as innovative learning environment for blended learning. Mixing physical and online education has been taken as central theme in this design. The space derives its color from the bluescreen; a cobalt blue floor continues with a gradient on the walls. When curtains are closed, entirely blue spaces are formed in which customers can be scanned for virtual avatars to enable digital fitting of cloths, jewelry and make up and to digitally try out different hair...

This early learning center design questions the traditional definition of the “classroom,” commonly interpreted from early education code as a room bounded by four walls with an area of 35 square feet of space per child. Instead, the classroom is re-imagined as distinct zones of activity with specific spatial characteristics that better match the quality and level of activity within them. Trent Bell Trent Bell \The bounded “dwelling” objects act as islands within the open floor plan to host focused, quiet learning and small group exploration for 90-100 children. The open “yard” space between the dwellings engages children in active gross motor play, seed-to-table lunchtime curriculum, and large... More

The main idea of the refurbishment of the ITCE training centre is to create a homelike and cheerful feeling in the visitors. The general purpose is to avoid the boring environment of a typical learning centre and create a memorable overall feeling in the environment. The space already had its predisposed base as all the separate training rooms were named after big cities – Prague, Barcelona, Wien and Sydney. So we adopted the idea and just developed it in a more deep and noticeable way. Minko MInev We incorporated the feeling of an overall journey through the world of learning with the symbols of the paper planes flying around the space, carrying the skills and achievements of the visitors. We place joyful and witty references i... More

In Daimler’s Beijing-based learning center, iDA created a playful fusion of color and shape throughout the space. Contrary to traditional designs of corporate classrooms, this center was ultimately transformed into a multi-service space that serves purposes beyond learning.   To fully reflect Daimler’s automotive history and their continued status as an industry leader, iDA created a unified design by incorporating a streamlined shape that runs through the space.   A strategic goal of this project was to re-think learning. The many innovations and continued, fast-paced development of education forced iDA to think beyond the now to envision how learning will take place in the future. To this end, iDA created classro...

CO Architects conceptualized a functional and flexible vertical garden hospital set within a campus configuration.  The greenfield site—part of a 186-acre business park currently under development—is bounded by residential property to the west, light industrial development to the north, Citracado Parkway and a Sempra power plant to the east, and future business park development  to the south.  The plan positions the hospital at the north end of the site, where there is the greatest width to accommodate necessary access points and circulation.     The signature patient tower building—with its gently curving form—figuratively opens its arms to welcome patients.  A vertical garden at the...

After construction of Phases A and B, Phase C of the masterplan called for an extension of the school to accommodate up to 1200 students divided into junior, middle and senior schools as well as a kindergarten and a special needs learning center. The new construction will also include a multi purpose hall, a cultural center with dance and music studios and an academic center with computer, language and science labs.The existing buildings informed the design and placement of new blocks. The design of the open spaces was the driving force behind the design of the building. Two new classroom blocks were added, creating a large,enclosed open area. At the building level,axes were defined splitting the large openarea into three smaller courtyards... More

A property developer Golden Land contacted Onion when they were planning to build a new commercial mall, partially opened 24 hours a day, called Samyan Mitrtown on Rama IV Road next to Chulalongkorn University. Golden Land also wished to give something back to the society in terms of space for working and reading, free of charge and open 24 hours a day. This space would be located on the second floor of Samyan Mitrtown commercial mall. The brief that we created is to design a 500-seat reading and working space that opened 24-hour a day, free of charge, for the general public. Samyan Co-op (co-operative) is a non-profit organization for education that exists in a commercial mall. Onion started the project by studying existing places that h... More

Hovering Mass It is more than a modular, flexible and clearly zoned hall. Natural lighting with two light sources and the suspended ceiling beams create a "interplay between structural mass, lightness and mobility of the structural elements" in the hall’s large volume, says the originator of the design, Professor Susanne Gross from kister scheithauer gross architekten und stadtplaner.   The new Learning Center Mechanical Engineering (LZM) of Technische Universität Darmstadt is a three-storey building with an effective floor area of 2,750 square metres. It accommodates four computer pool rooms for 320 students as well as machine halls for about 20 different test benches for the Departments of Structural Dynamics, Mechatron... More
