  • The Research on the Learning Space of Contemporary School from the Experiences of the Development of Educational Architecture in Modern China
    The Research on the Learning Space of Contemporary School from the Experiences of the Development of Educational Architecture in Modern China A thesis submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture In the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning By Yining Fang B.S. North Dakota State University May 10 2017 Committee Chair: Elizabeth H. Riorden Committee Co-chair: Michael McInturf Abstract China currently faces a significant challenge in the educational field. The class-teaching system and its congruent educational architecture are out-of-date. This study aims to determine how modern educational architecture in China developed into the current situation and explore a new typology of classroom building layout that would enhance the teaching-learning efficiency and quality. The new typology is developed based on the ancient teaching philosophy, while also learning from the experiences of the development and changes of educational architecture in China in each stage for the past 150 years. In this context, a classroom building is defined as the building at a campus that serves the function of teaching and learning with other supportive programs, not a building with only regular classrooms. To develop this typological layout in a classroom building, besides a series of historical materials, an in-person survey was also distributed to potential users of the chosen site. High school students and teachers were randomly given the survey and asked to express their concerns and thoughts of current campus and school buildings. The results show that integrative and interactive spaces that would provide complex functions are needed.
