設計學校無異於設計未來的教育。隨著近年來教學渠道日漸多元化，現在的學習已不再侷限於教室和圖書館，而早已演變為一種全方位的經驗，需要靈活、友善、可適合不同活動形式的空間來配合。
這正是我們在為香港大學醫學院的校園，設計建立一個7,000平方尺學習共用區時的理念。我們深深明白，在典型的教學環境之外，任何成功的學習環境，更必須擁有互動和交流空間那樣的重要組成部分，那主導著我們的設計理念。
Designing for a school is also designing for the future of education. With the recent multiplication of teaching channels, learning now goes far beyond the classroom and the library. It has become a total experience that requires flexible, welcoming spaces adapted to all forms of engagement.
This was our ambition for the 7,000-square-foot Learning Commons on the campus of HKU’s Medical School. We wanted to offer more possibilities outside the typical teaching setting and create space for interaction and exchange, vital components of any successful learning environment.

大學校園的環境瞬息萬變，但是教室、演講廳和輔導室等空間仍然相當分隔，為的是提供特定的功能。在保留這些用途的同時，我們創建了一個寬敞、開放、沒有任何視覺障礙、以生物形態多樣性形式展開的空間，學生可以在那裡學習、聚會和放鬆。生物形態的流動性啟發了我們，要為未來的醫生提供一個充滿樂趣，而豐富多彩的學習樂園。
University campuses are changing rapidly, but spaces such as classrooms, lecture theaters, and tutorial rooms are still very much compartmentalized to serve specific functions. While preserving these essential uses, we created a large open space free from any visual barrier, where students can study, gather, meet, and relax. Inspired by the fluidity of organic forms, we imagined a learning playground, fun and colorful, for future doctors.

這空間可以提供的不只是已規定好的功能，而是適合從安靜而私人，到集體和活躍一系列不同的活動。四十張座位的桌子具備變化不一的彎曲幾何形狀，既方便個人學習，又適合一對一互動，或者小組討論，所有形式都可以在七個白色燈球下寫意地進行。
Rather than prescriptive functions, a spectrum of atmospheres articulates the space, from quiet and private to collective and active. The varying curved geometry of the forty-seat table accommodates individual study, one-on-one interactions, and group work under the light of seven white globes.

深藍色、弧形的雙面沙發，在整個學習共用區裡提供舒適而靈活的座位。不同的開關形式營造出隨時可以變身為私人空間的地方，在四周環繞著的，是一條連續不斷、發出溫暖色調的玻璃帶。
The curving, double-sided sofa in deep blue provides comfortable and flexible seating throughout the commons. Various openings create islands of intimate enclosures, while a continuous glass ribbon of warm light wraps around the archipelago.

與沙發平行的是一個流暢而優美、以桃色為色調的區域，區域裡有四間可組合的玻璃會議室、一個用餐間和一個儲物櫃區域。一千多盞可調光的白色球體天花燈，在點綴著連綿不斷的天花板之餘，又隨著白天光照的變化，配合著學生不同形式的活動，隨著優美的互動做出轉變。
Parallel to the sofa, four combinable glazed meeting rooms, a pantry, and a locker area blend together into a fluid peach-colored zone. More than nine hundred dimmable white globes populate the visually continuous ceiling, charting students’ interactions as lighting varies over the course of the day.

一部三步式的木製支架，連接上一個能觀看全景的小平臺。這些形狀像豆子的臺階，非常適合做小型演示和演講。

另外，透明的演講廳設計成公園一般，可容納70多人，把講室變成電影院一樣，日間和晚上的用途可以截然不同，使用者坐在那些綠色地毯上、隨意而以有機形式擺放的椅子上，緩緩向上傾斜，讓他們可以舒服地躺下，放鬆地享受聚會。
The transparent lecture theater seats more than seventy people in organic clusters of chairs distributed across a soft green carpet that gently slopes upward, allowing students to lie down, relax, and gather informally.

外牆隨著大樓的彎曲度，上面覆蓋著不鏽鋼面板，這些面板折射著學習共用區的層次、色調和燈光，最終讓共用區的邊界完美無縫地融入四周。就像操場和樂園一樣，空隙間的循環將不同的空間融合在一起，成為一個鼓勵探索、互動和發現，同時又充滿著動態的學習空間。
Following the curvature of the building, the outer walls are cladded with stainless-steel panels which reflect the layers, colors, and lights of the learning commons, ultimately blurring the boundary of the space. Like a playground, the interstitial circulation flows unify these different spaces into a dynamic learning environment that encourages exploration, interaction, and discovery.
