The Adaptive Core: A Living Space for Learning and Change


“This center is designed as an adaptable place that changes over time, just like people and generations do. While the workshops, studios, and classrooms remain active and steady throughout the day, other spaces such as multi-purpose areas are designed to grow and connect during exhibitions or special events. This flexible setup allows the building to support both everyday learning and large gatherings. It reflects how learning and life are always changing. As different generations bring new ideas and ways of thinking, the building responds by adjusting, connecting, and welcoming change. In this way, the center becomes more than just a place to learn—it becomes a space that grows with its people.”
