Brain Fit, by Nutthawut Piriyaprakob of Thailand based NPDA Studio, is a learning studio specifically designed to enhance brain function, imagination and co-ordination for small children. Comprised of 4 zones, (the Reception, the Gym, the Testing Room, and the Computer Testing Room), each zone is designed as the imitation of the brain cell, blood vessel and body membrane to imply the meaning of the learning activities conducted. Trying to balance a space that will cater to a child’s imaginative side, yet not pose a distraction, the studio seeks to foster development and encourage exploration.
More images and more about the different zones after the break.
One enters the studio through the reception zone, a grand space wrapped in strips and ropes to create the allusion of blood vessels. The gym serves as the large multipurpose space and encourages play. ”The shapes and forms are the imitation of the brain cell structures with the objective to stimulate children’s imagination with its unique shapes, forms and lighting effects.” The fabrication of the ceiling design is more of a ‘fit’ installation for each unique piece is done by hand instead of machine.
