墨尔本设计公司(DesignInc Melbourne)重新利用了一座独特的遗产建筑,为维多利亚州的主要教育工作者提供了一个先进的培训设施。价值1680万美元的装修反映了学院所提供的著名的专业发展项目和教师职业的重要性。”我们客户的愿景是将学院定位为精英中的精英的地方。Christon Batey-Smith,DesignInc总监。” 这是一个令人兴奋的想法”,克里斯顿说,”我们经常为学生创造教育设施,但这个项目是一个教育工作者的地方。卓越的概念是鼓舞人心的”。

Repurposing a distinctive heritage building, DesignInc Melbourne has delivered a state-of-art training facility for Victoria’s leading educators. The $16.8m fit-out reflects the prestigious professional development programs offered by the Academy and the importance of the teaching profession. “Our client’s vision was to position the Academy as a place for the best of the best”. Christon Batey-Smith, DesignInc Director. ” It was an exciting idea”, said Christon, “We regularly create education facilities for students, but this project is a place for educating educators. The concept of excellence was inspiring.”

一座建于1858年的历史悠久的3层建筑,位于墨尔本的财政部辖区,已被改造成一个最先进的现代成人学习和教学设施。维多利亚时代的建筑和学院的威严是鼓舞人心的。这座遗产建筑的强大遗产是新装修的基础故事,创造了一种既令人难忘又有意义的场所感。”我们都知道好的教师是本能的讲故事者。我们的目标是激励这些了不起的教育家,并将室内的叙述规划为一个学习的旅程,以引起他们的共鸣和胆量”。设计建筑师,Jane Sayers,DesignInc负责人。

A historic 3-level building, built in 1858 and located in Melbourne’s Treasury precinct, has been transformed into a state-of-the-art, contemporary adult learning and teaching facility. Victorian architecture and the gravitas of the Academy were inspirational. The powerful legacy of the heritage building is the foundational story of the new fit out, creating a sense of place that is both memorable and rewarding. “We all know good teachers are instinctive storytellers. We aimed to motivate these amazing educators and planned the interiors narrative as a learning journey that resonates and emboldens them”. Design Architect, Jane Sayers, DesignInc Principal.

概念设计框架想象了一个创造性的旅程,将三层建筑的所有层面和空间联系起来,象征着过去、现在和未来的相互联系。这个想法由一个新的连接楼梯统一起来,该楼梯插入现有的遗产照明井中,表达了创意之旅。作为时间和空间的连接点,这个链接体现了光、创造力、自然、记忆和希望。DesignInc将建筑的三层与景观中的一棵树联系起来,地下室是树根和泥土,中心是树干,而顶层则被比喻为树冠–向外看和光。这种叙事是以亲生物元素为层次的,在建筑结构中表现自然。

The conceptual design framework imagines a creative journey linking all levels and spaces of the three-level building, symbolizing the interconnection between past, present, and future. The idea is united by a new linking stair inserted in an existing heritage lightwell that expresses the creative journey. As a connector of time and space, the link embodies light, creativity, nature, memories, and hope. DesignInc related the building’s three levels to a tree in a landscape, with the basement as the roots and earth, the center as the trunk, and the top level likened to the canopy – outward-looking and light. That narrative is layered with biophilic elements that express nature in the building fabric.

DesignInc将这一想法进一步延伸,将这三层想象为时间的隐喻。地下室的青石墙是相当黑暗和大气的;它代表了过去。它是图书馆的所在地,是独立研究、学习和调查的安静场所。中间一层代表现在。它是建筑的入口层,有一个灵活的欢迎休息室,是一个社交聚会点。顶层代表未来;它是大多数教学发生的地方。它有更多的点缀,可适应的空间和透明度。

Taking the idea further, DesignInc imagined the three layers as a metaphor for time. The basement with its bluestone walls is quite dark and atmospheric; it represents the past. It houses the library and is a quiet place for independent research, study, and investigation. The center layer represents the present. It’s the entry-level of the building and has a flexible welcome lounge that is a social meeting point. The top layer represents the future; it’s where most of the teaching happens. It has more embellishment, adaptable spaces, and transparency.

学院的创新学习和教学空间反映了当代教育中遇到的一系列设置,包括混合的面对面和数字学习模式。整合适应性和透明度是学院的一个核心价值。我们通过灵活的空间来支持一系列的学习模式,从个人学习、小组合作、大组/讲座设置,到远程学习。DesignInc将 “黑客空间 “带入其中,在这个区域中,教师可以将他们的想法推向极限,并在真实的空间中进行概念原型设计。可骇空间邀请人们进行前瞻性思考,让教育者在容易重新配置的空间中自由地进行测试、展示、研究、调查和游戏。克里斯顿总结说:”我们不认为学院是一个静态项目。如果我们的工作做得好,这个设施将随着时间的推移而发展。我们想象未来的教学是一个不断变化的过程”。

The innovative learning and teaching spaces in the Academy reflect the range of settings encountered in contemporary education, including blended face-to-face and digital learning models. Integrating adaptability and transparency is a core value of the Academy. We translated this with flexible spaces that support a range of learning modes from individual learning, small group collaboration, and large group/lecture settings, to remote learning. DesignInc brought ‘hackable spaces’ into the mix, with a zone where teachers can push their ideas to the limits and prototype concepts in real space. The hackable space invites forward thinking and gives educators the freedom to test, showcase, research, investigate, and play in spaces that are easily reconfigured. Christon summed up, “We don’t see the Academy as a static project. This facility will evolve over time if we have done our job well. We imagine the future of teaching as a process of constant change.”
