(Background & Brief)
Hanyang University is one of the leading institutions that has made significant contributions to the growth and development of higher education in South Korea since its establishment in 1938. Recently, the university has embraced another innovative learning program called Problem-Based Learning (PBL).

Under this program, students and educators are encouraged to define social and political issues, challenge ideas, conduct workshops with stakeholders, and create prototypes. The primary
objective of these activities is to address significant problems through design solutions. A brief has been given to retrofit an existing 120m2 classroom to Future Learning Space that effectively embodies the principles of the PBL program for the department of interior architecture at Hanyang University.

(Idea, Innovation, Sustainability)
Changyeob Lee, the founder of AuthentiCityLab, moves away from predicting the exact appearance of future learning spaces or simply fill the space with state-of-the-art equipment. Instead, our focus is on embedding the idea of 'adaptability' into the spatial elements, aligning with the mission of future learning space design. The truly versatile studio space is designed to accommodate a wide range of continuously evolving activities, enabling active adaptation based on specific needs. Furthermore, we believe that providing a space that can respond to changing societal demands is the most effective way to prolong the lifespan of interior spaces and reduce carbon footprint in the long term.

(Creativity, Functionality)
Within the constraints of the available budget, our priority is to incorporate mobility features into all elements of the space. This includes furniture, equipment, and essential infrastructure such as lighting and power outlets, ensuring they can adapt to changing spatial needs. The learning tables, equipped with wheels, can be combined and expanded to accommodate individual workers, different types of teams, studios, and even community-scale contexts.
The integration of a fabrication zone within the studio space enhances the design process by fostering interaction between ideation and hands-on making. The boundaries of the space are equipped with magnetic forces, transforming traditional partitions into interfaces that facilitate internal and external sharing of the design process and enable discussions. Additionally, the cable tray perforations on the ceiling serve as a micro-grid, allowing students to hang their work in progress and curate exhibitions.

(Conclusion)
Our intention is to create a space that serves as a dynamic incubator of ideas, continuously fueled by the members of Hanyang University (HYU). Within this space, interaction, knowledge exchange, and communication will interplay with one another, celebrating the core attributes of the PBL learning program. It will be a vibrant environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and the exploration of new ideas among HYU members.
