Educational space design is different from other commercial space design, in addition to the beautification of the space, it should reflect the humanistic care for students and teachers, through the space design let them feel the respect and care of the school for them, and can stimulate their further pursuit of art and cognition. In this project, in addition to traditional basic functions of training institute, we offer moreentertainment sections to release students and their parents. Loop corridor concludes all ways to go in whole space, guiding people movements easily.

Inspiration

The institute enrolls art candidates aged in sixteen to eighteen, which are transition ages from adolescence to youth, so we have to consider both interesting factors and certain mature factors in our design. We choose black, gray and white as base, main colors of whole space, this matches with hue relationships in pencil sketching. We take Origami as main factor in form designs such as sculptures, artworks, many polygon origami factors have been used into decorations
