Meet Aya May, Ayana and Sarah, 9th grade students at the German Embassy School in Beijing, who joined us for a two weeks internship at studio vapore in the last two weeks of May.
We gave them a small project to complete over this short time, to re-design the entrance lobby of their school.
First step: brainstorming!
… and then heading to the school to interview the users.. what would they like for this space?
and now back to the studio to make a physical model of the space!!
starting with a few prototypes…
upgrading to a full professional model!
The team designed new furniture and elements for the students to meet in the lobby, a few corners for study reviews, and a house to climb to to relax! All inspired by the existing colour pallette.
We then asked them to make an official project presentation to studio vapore’ s team, Stefan Hoppel, the school vice-principal, and a few of the studio’s friends!
SUCCESS!!
Thank you Aya May, Ayana and Sarah, brilliant future designers for being with us!
