What began as a simple idea to refresh a classroom at Xingnan Primary School has grown into a hands-on learning journey that empowered pupils to think, design and create like professionals. Through a collaboration with industry experts, a group of students worked from concept to completion to redesign a classroom that better supports learning, creativity and collaboration.
What happens when you ask students to be the architects of their own learning space? The results are far more than just new furniture and fresh paint. Teenagers at Bukit Batok Secondary School re-imagined their 39-year-old library and plaza, while younger peers at Jurong’s Xingnan Primary School transformed a classroom. Both sets of students went on immersive design-thinking journeys with The Possible Class to dream up vibrant, sustainable spaces that foster purpose and pride.
Students from Jurong Pioneer Junior College, worked alongside participants from Dialogue in the Dark Singapore at Ngee Ann Polytechnic to explore new ways of making play more accessible. But this wasn’t about designing for anyone. It was about designing with them. Through dialogue, prototyping, and hands-on collaboration, participants from Dialogue in the Dark shared what play means to them, how they experience spaces, and how interaction can be designed beyond the visual.
What if your workplace mandated work from home to lower carbon emissions? The Possible Class had the opportunity to conduct decarbonisation workshops for City Developments Limited. The goal? Brainstorm ways to achieve their goal for net zero operations by 2030.
Watching wild ideas grow from scribbly sketches to models, that’s where real architectural thinking begins.
