DESIGN STUDIO 4
PROJECT 1 - Children Learning Capsule
In a group of 3, we required to design a children learning capsule which is quite a different features from a normal playground, as this learning capsule aims to achieve "Learning through Play" concept towards children or teenagers. Besides, this project is intended to explore the endless possibilities of using abandoned steel shipping containers which have outlived their usefulness as cargo carriers.
We are encouraged to use recycled materials to achieve building sustainability goals as well as develop awareness of environmental sustainability through the responsible and innovative use of reclaimable and repurpose materials in relation to user needs. In this project, we are to use maximum 3 shipping containers in a certain size within a 50sqm base area and 7m height limit. Safety purposes and children anthropometry must be considered when designing the capsule.
