School is a place of education and learning. Throuh the course of education, we spend over 1/3 of our time in school. Are there places in school that are not as beautiful, but we have grown used to and overlooked?
Insufficient Storage Space
Classroom has sufficient space, but why does it always look so crowded?
The Space Does Not Meet Demands
How to plan classroom so it meets the different demands of teachers and students in different classes?
Limited Functionality
Our hallways and atriums are limited by architectural structure and landscape, resulting in inconveniences. How can we solve this problem?
Old, Unused Space
Times have changed, how do we revitalize unused spaces on campus?
Expansion of Learning Site
If outdoor spaces were comfortable and useful learning spaces, they would make classes more interesting!
“Design Movement on Campus” is an important collaboration between design and education.
Through introduction of design thinking, the project invites design teams, faculty members, and students, to jointly transform the environment on campus.

Learn more about the project
“Design Movement on Campus” The project was launched in 2019, and has since transformed dozens of schools. These achievements are not some standalone cases, but have since sown more aesthetic seeds, and attracted more schools and design teams to join the project, creating for future generations more aesthetic learning environments meeting their needs.

From kindergarten to senior high school and vocational high school, regardless of storage of cleaning tools, signage system, or classrooms of different subjects, hallways, or atrium, problems identified during campus inspection will be included in the scope of our transformation. Come with us to learn more about these real cases!
The classroom space was not properly utilized and had insufficient storage space; it always looked crowded and messy. With user scenarios of teachers and students in mind, the functionality and style of the classroom have been redesigned, and a suitable color scheme has been adopted to make the classroom look comfortable and practical.
In response to the new curriculum guidelines, schools have developed diverse thematic courses, and the original space could not meet the new demands. Redefining user problems and behaviors of classroom have become very important, so that thematic classroom can meet curriculum needs, while also becoming the new symbol of the school’s learning style.
Important passages, such as foyer and atrium, on campus are often blocked by landscape or existing facilities, forming obvious borders between buildings of different functions. Removing unwanted line-of-sight blockage and utilizing subtraction design and organization skills are a great way to build an open learning space.
Old, broken, and unused spaces have always been a common problem faced by schools. Give these unused spaces new functions and expand their user scenarios, turning every corner on campus into a place of learning and development.
Intimacy with our environment has now become an educational objective of many schools. Utilizing see-through materials and design for the improvement of blocked outdoor spaces can enhance students’ willingness to come out of classroom to learn from and coexist with nature.

Come and check out more transformation cases,
and discover more possibilities of change on campus!
According to different types and details of transformation, methods like “subtraction design,” “compound functions,” and “mass production and modularization” can be applied.
Utilize shapes, colors, and textures for integration to reintroduce to the space simple and intuitive usages.
Analyze user needs and create spatial configuration that meets diverse user scenarios.
Through duplicable design, the outcome of transformation is no longer limited within a small space, but can be further expanded.
What do students, teachers, and administrative personnel think about their transformed campuses?
# Education Site
Design is not just a problem-solving tool, it is capable of changing behaviors. Regarding this, DaTong Senior Highly is probably the best example after its hallways and outdoor areas took on a brand-new look after it participated in “Design Movement on Campus” in 2019.

# Professional Critique
Transforming a space from ugly to beautiful is a physical effect, but changing the model of education and the relationship between people are chemical changes. The essence of education is to transform, to give a Midas touch, and these chemical changes are the influences of “Design Movement on Campus.”

# Education Site
If buildings were containers of life, campuses would be the carriers of children’s daily life. When a school’s philosophy of education changes, can the campus space also evolve and progress with time as the carrier? Since ShanFeng Elementary School in Gukeng, Yunlin, changed into an experimental elementary school of Waldorf education in 2011, this question has lingered on the mind of Principal Huang Hsi-pei.

This time, we fought for this opportunity for our children to experience participatory design, and to introduce different kinds of design and aesthetic concepts to our school.

Through this collaboration, we let the children know that learning should have no restrictions. They will be freer and know what they want.

Aesthetics education is not rooted in textbooks, but in life and environment. Through this project, we can really sow these seeds of aesthetics in the soil of schools.
