Schools built in the 80s in the past are dark due to the small number of ceiling lights unlike current schools, the floor and wall finishes have become very old due to the passage of time. Kangdong High School opened in the 80s and has been in operation for more than 35 years, and this classroom, which was used as a judo room, also had old cushions, cracked paint finishes, torn wallpaper, and old drawers that ran out of sheets. Kangdong High School wanted the place to be transformed into the best place for students to study.
First of all, all the existing finishes of this classroom were removed and additional lights were added to the ceiling. Next, we had to put materials in the classroom that would not shadow and interfere with the individual's study space. After much consideration, I decided to install a glass block. Glass blocks block the eyes with the role of partitions, but because they transmit light, there is no shadow on the desk, and they do not completely cover the space while dividing the space, so it is a material that makes the space look wide. Glass blocks served as partitions in individual study rooms, and glass blocks served as furniture in group study rooms.
As this is a study room, I wanted to use colors that help concentration and brain development. Yellow is a color that stimulates brain activity, which helps physical activity and positive energy, and mint is a color that stimulates concentration while calming and stabilizing. In addition, a large semicircular pattern, which can be a simple point, is placed on the wall and the floor rather than a small pattern that can be unpleasant to the eyes.
