play & create                   
"playground for making"
makerspace
2019
a collaborative community maker-space that focuses on work, play, and leisure. the building’s circulation and system revolves around the element of speed within skateboarding. with a strong emphasis of play, a skate park is embedded on the rooftop. the floor division derives from three speeds: slow, medium, and fast to define the activities that occurs on each floor.

1st and 2nd floor: learning (slow)
(classrooms, library, multipurpose room etc.) 

3rd floor: creating (medium)
(woodshops, computer and sewing labs etc.)

4th floor: producing (fast)
(collaboration rooms, cafeteria, skate park, etc.)

the transparent system allows the building to communicate how makers make - allowing people to know how and where the creations are formed.

the model uses primary colours of lego bricks to emphasize the origin of creating - children often begin exploring the concept of 2d design with primary colours, and 3d design with lego bricks.
