SCHOOL OF FUTURE DESIGN, BEIJING NORMAL UNIVERSITY
Design Research on the “Future Learning Community” for Future Education

SFD takes “the Future Learning Community for Future Education” as its theme, and through systematic theoretical research and case-based practice, deepens the educational attributes of characteristic learning spaces in primary and secondary schools, explores the organic integration of architectural space with teaching and learning, and promotes the innovative upgrading of the educational ecosystem of schools in the new era.

LEGO Education Space

The LEGO Education Space adopts “exploration–collaboration–creation” as its core concept, encouraging learners to experience knowledge construction, capability enhancement, and innovative growth through hands-on practice and team-based collaboration. The spatial design follows the Creative Sensibility Model, endeavouring to create a learning environment characterised by playfulness, challenge and openness.

Art and Design Thinking Space

The Art and Design Thinking Space takes the Creative Sensibility Model as its principal logical framework, and integrates the Double Diamond model of art and design thinking with experiential learning theory in its planning and design. The space is divided into a theoretical teaching area, a collaborative practice area, a group discussion area, a rehearsal and reflection area, and an outcomes exhibition area, with each functional zone progressing in sequence and closely interconnected.

Artificial Intelligence Makerspace

The Artificial Intelligence Makerspace takes artificial intelligence and maker education as its theme, and is committed to creating a model room for future education characterised by the fusion of “technology × creativity”. The space is divided into a discussion and teaching area, a script-design area, a manual-making area, a performance and presentation area, a digital-creation area, and a filming and post-production area, forming a complete pathway from knowledge acquisition to the realisation of innovation.

Art Therapy Space

The Art Therapy Space integrates somatosensory therapy with painting therapy, creating a model setting for mental health and emotional development in future schools. The space is equipped with somatosensory therapy tools such as yoga mats and musical instruments, supporting students in releasing stress, balancing emotions, and stimulating physical and mental vitality through physical activity and musical interaction. The painting therapy area is furnished with abundant materials and diverse expressive media, encouraging participants to use walls, drawing boards, floors and other surfaces as creative carriers to create freely, express themselves, and explore their inner worlds, thereby realising the concept that “art is therapy”.
