Over the last five years, GIS has been undergoing a major campus transformation to ‘Bring the Garden back’ to the Garden International School as part of the consciousness for the young to learn of the shared responsibility for caring for the environment.
In the midst of this is the retrofit of the sixth form centre. The pinnacle of the British IGCSE Education is their Sixth Form, seen as a milestone of the secondary academic experience. The sixth form centre serves as an interaction space for meeting/social and work place for the ‘A’ levels program.
A distinctive 3 storey high green wall at its entrance bearing its namesake is an introduction to the sixth form centre. The garden theme permeates the interior spaces as an abstract expression in a light spirited and playful manner to uplift and give life to an old dark and dead space.
There are 3 distinctive zones that functions as a continuous interaction space but with diametrically opposite needs between the high energy and quiet zones that engages social, collaborative and quiet study areas in a garden setting.
The energetic areas are conceived as spaces liken to be frolicking in the woods, set against the outside greeneries. It gambols merrily amidst throw cushions, pool table and timber bleachers like park benches for discourse and free play.
The collaborative zone are cowered by Bright Yellow Fold-over Boards which mimics a sensation of working together to exploring ideas under a tree canopy. The colorful fabric stools are like seeds and stones strewn on the forest floor in a chaotic manner which exudes the best collaborative learning to encourage a free flow of ideas in a natural environment.
The timber walls is evocative of nature but functionally serves as an acoustic tunnel for sound reduction to transition from the noisy unto the quiet study zone without an obvious sound barrier which brings an immediate sense of quietness into this space.
The study area is themed after leaves, shaped as tables on twigs with eye-line screening informally meandering to peer and peak between personal spaces like being on the leaves on a tree to provide both privacy and easy discourse when they wish. The larger ceiling leaf motifs and carpeted floors completes the sense-around acoustics treatment. The free forming layout moves away from the regimented classroom arrangement to create spaces conducive to studies.
The office is located to give easy access when the students need but discreet to give space without inhibiting their sense of freedom.
We are engaging young minds that there is joy and delight to bring the garden back as custodians of nature. And when they finally leave school, looking after the Garden is not just a subject in a class but is a way of life.
