Aesthetic Lab
Aesthetic Lab is a classroom designed for aesthetic education in a school in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The 110 square metre space has white walls, ceilings and equipment, so student work provides the colour. Four colours flow from the ceiling to the floor, marking the central axis and the golden ratio and serving as teaching material. A central island gathers water faucets, power outlets and storage in the middle of the room. Desks and folding chairs can be moved freely, so the classroom suits group work, lectures and exhibitions.
Aesthetic Lab Classroom by Pei Ting Yu was recognized as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Aesthetic Lab Classroom was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2022. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize which recognizes exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
