Interior Design of TED University C-D-E Blocks, a modern educational institution that blends cutting-edge design with functionality to create a dynamic learning environment. The design was inspired by TED University’s commitment to innovation, excellence, and fostering a culture of creativity. Goal of the project was to create spaces that enhance the educational experience for both students and faculty, while also reflecting the university’s mission to shape the future of education.
These structures include the conversion of registered buildings, which are historically historical and formerly used as colleges, to the function of the University, as well as the transformation of the University into a campus with additional new buildings. While design concepts are being developed at this point, the institution has focused on the historical past and the progress of the future towards the future.
The site constructions have been articulated with refined high-level detail solutions through a contemporary and progressive way. The premises are built with advanced technological infrastructure and suggest a new kind of modern vision in terms of experience.
The combinatorial and disintegrating feature of spatial manipulation is presented to the user with a fictional experience throughout the entire campus.
The project received Silver A ’Design Award in 2017 in Interior Design Category from Italy.
Concept Design
The interior design of TED University focuses on creating a forward-thinking, inclusive, and flexible environment. Our approach aimed to balance modern aesthetics with practical functionality, offering spaces that foster creativity, collaboration, and independent learning.
Flexible Learning Spaces
Understanding that education today is increasingly collaborative and technology-driven, we designed flexible classrooms and lecture halls that can be easily adapted for various teaching styles, from traditional lectures to group-based projects and interactive seminars. Mobile furniture, modular walls, and cutting-edge AV equipment ensure that each space can accommodate the diverse needs of TED University’s faculty and students.
Innovative Student Areas
The student-centric design includes vibrant common areas, informal study zones, and recreational spaces where students can relax, collaborate, and socialize. Thoughtfully placed seating, cozy nooks, and breakout areas encourage interaction and creativity while maintaining an overall sense of openness and comfort.
Technology Integration
The design features seamless integration of technology throughout the campus, including smart classrooms, digital signage, interactive whiteboards, and charging stations, ensuring that students and faculty have access to the latest tools for learning and teaching.
Sustainability
Craft312 Studio took a sustainable approach, using eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting, and water-saving fixtures to minimize the environmental impact. The integration of green building practices ensures that the university is not only a hub for learning but also a responsible and forward-thinking institution.
