Day 1 Workshop on Design Development at shl’s office at Copenhagen

TCA and shl shared the design development of during the workshop. The form of learning space was discussed, and it was suggested that the common communal areas shall consider its visibility, permeability and interconnectedness. We tried to explore the classrooms and breakout spaces with interactions, and further innovation approach for spatial arrangement were discussed.

We also visit The Black Diamond: The Royal Library at Copenhagen.
 

Day 2 Meeting shl’s office at Aarhus

Taking early train from Copenhagen to Aarhus, we met Bjarne Hammer to continue our discussion of design concept. We discussed about the typology of space. We also shared the alternative ways of configuring learning spaces with varying levels of openness and permeability.

We also visit the VIA University College, the DOKK1 (construction in progress).
 

Day 3 Exploring “the Path”

We further develop the concept design by exploring “the Path”, for the journey and the spatial experience in the design.

We also visit the Ørestad Gymnasium, Copenhagen as an example for total flexibility of space.
 

Day 4 Exploring “Adjacency”

The design concept for the arrangement of spaces were discussed and studied, with various sketches and a lot of discussion on the future trend of teaching typology.
