Play Building Blocks and Learn History at the Bricks Lab!

This time, we renovated the WanFang Senior High School (WFSH), a senior high school located in Wenshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. For many years, the traditional teaching space of the school has remained unchanged; the iron windows outside the classroom evoke a
strong sense of restraint; messy wires, desks, and chairs make the classroom visually disorganized; and the insufficient overall storage space has resulted in various items being stacked in the corners, causing the 27-ping classroom to lack unique features and appear
even smaller than it is.

Thus, we considered how to transform traditional thinking and improve children’s learning environment. First, we allow the windows along the hallway to offer two different functions; they serve both as a storage integration area and as a display wall. The initially dim, claustrophobic classroom was made brighter; the inner area, from top to bottom, was refurbished to provide different storage functions; and building blocks was added both inside and outside the classroom to create a sense of fun.

Concurrently, we introduce the building block history class,dividing the classroom space into the colors or orange, gray, and white.The color of orange was inspired by the colors of traditional temples; the color of grey signifies a foundation built using bricks and tiles;and the color of white, which fills the space from start to finish,resembles an avenue of stars that extends to the building block wall at the
back,allowing teachers and students to create different wall designs for different classes.

Finally, we added modular tables and chairs in the classroom space, using a large number of stacked building blocks, incorporating the concept of modular design,and offering different teaching “combinations” such as classroom, exhibition, and performance to meet the educational needs of the teachers and students.

​

Here, we enable teachers and students to let their imaginations run wild, unite innovative educational methods, and complement interesting teaching models with a novel space, making urban monuments alive and revolutionizing old thinking. Let us “spark creativity using building blocks” together!
