Using a modernist Dom-Ino system, the design integrates a grid-based structure with colorful geometric "plug-ins" to create dynamic spaces. The spatial sequence unfolds as a journey: from the entrance’s transitional gray space, through the lobby, across a square courtyard corridor, and up a triangular staircase, offering shifting perspectives and fluid movement. The central courtyard optimizes light, ventilation, and safety while fostering imagination and exploration. The project exemplifies innovative design, balancing functionality, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetic purity.
