PART International Art and Design Eduction Center takes the form of a 25*10 ㎡square with a original MEP platform as the entrance. The inner space meets various needs: a teaching studio for 30 people, which can be converted to a lecture or exhibition hall for 50 people; 4 separate smaller studios, offices, reception rooms, VIP lounges, bathrooms.
Confronted with the unfriendly surroundings, the initial idea was to mark off the interior from the exterior, and to blur the boundary between indoor areas. The scope and numbers of windows to maximize natural lights. And the glassy fences serve to provide undisrupted views while separating landscape.
The original partition boards have been removed to create an all-open space. The independent studios have been comparted by ceiling-high and transparent glass walls to guarantee desired functionsand views, and to eliminate the sense of confinement.
A circular block combining the corridor and landscape has been designed to facilitate exhibitions and lectures, forming acontinuous and draughty traffic in the space.
