Design Problem is:
The MSHS Design Center in ISB is a wonderful space, and we are all appreciative of the ways it enhances our learning of Design, Engineering, and Visual Arts! However, the open plan of the space has created some challenges for teachers and students, and we are looking for creative solutions to the problems of: -acoustic insulation: There is too much disruption caused when multiple classes are being held in the open areas.
-visual distraction: When multiple groups of students or teachers are active in the area it can be difficult to focus.
The idea came from and making:
The above is the poster I made for this design challenge. My idea mainly comes from the blue partition in the school cafeteria, which is the “separation wall” for exams. From my model (cardboard model) the poster, I can see a retractable partition board, and it can divide a large classroom into two small studios from the middle. This also solves the problem of noisy work in large areas. Then, from the material of the isolation board I chose this time, one board is a whiteboard (for teachers and students to teach and record), and the other is glass, which not only blocks the sound but also has a sense of perspective.
