The program of this project is a Language Tutoring Class. Traditional layout for Taiwan tutoring classes normally has centered hallway with sided class rooms, which creates unpleasant narrow and poor lighting public spaces. In order to enrich the public spaces, we designed a circulation loop system to make the students and the teachers freely walking and using the whole area which can increase interactions with all people and spaces. We also designed big window openings for class room windows to ensure the lighting from outside building can also contribute to the inner public spaces and hallways. All classroom blocks are designed along the circulation loop which fits with the client’s business image as a village and making this tutoring space a global community.
We use the old Chinese phrase as the concept “Learning should be like water never stops” and designed a dynamic circulation streamway at the public entry space. The streamway connects entrance, reception area, offices, resting bar, discussion area, etc, almost all main public areas and then spread out to the classrooms with minor streamways. We tried to create a sense of flow that leads people into the streamway and classrooms by stretching the spaces with tilted walls, vertical wall shelves, linear lighting layouts and the direction of wood flooring panels. These specific design elements try to initiate the dynamic flow in stable common spaces, by people’s interactions in this streamway, we can also respond to the old Chinese phrase that learning is like water and people circulation should be endlessly forever and ever.
