People's Architecture Office completes blue-toned makeover of Fuqiang school
Vivid shades of blue and turquoise characterise this school in Shenzhen, China, which has been overhauled by People's Architecture Office to offer more creative forms of learning.
Beijing-based People's Architecture Office (PAO) has reorganised and extended Fuqiang Elementary School to expand the range of facilities and create more outdoor teaching spaces.
People's Architecture Office has doubled the size of campus facilities
Fuqiang school previously had a more linear organisation that extended around the south and east sides of the plot, with few opportunities for cross-disciplinary interaction. In the redesign, the old gymnasium was removed. The rest of the building was extended to create a figure-of-eight layout, making it easier for occupants to move between different classroom zones.

"The new campus doubles the size of the original campus, and makes high quality education and innovative learning accessible to more students," said PAO.
"The design brings together the old school buildings, a dedicated STEAM education building, and new classrooms and facilities into an integrated whole."
