Colorful Palette Educational Institute

Colorful Palette Educational Institute is an innovative architectural project designed by Wei Cheng Lin, representing a groundbreaking approach to educational facility design that harmoniously integrates with its environment and prioritizes child development. Located in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, this 5,000-square-meter kindergarten facility, completed in 2020, transforms a former farmland into a dynamic learning environment through its distinctive streamlined and organic building volume inspired by the site's original water channels. The architecture employs a sophisticated color psychology theory in its design, featuring weather-resistant stone paint applications and reinforced concrete construction that creates a vibrant, child-friendly atmosphere. The facility's design incorporates multiple innovative elements, including a rainbow trail, a central square with colorful stairs centered around a camphor tree, and irregular classroom spaces that allow for flexible layout modifications. The project, which garnered recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category, demonstrates exceptional environmental consciousness through its integration with the urban green belt and careful consideration of the local monsoon conditions. The design successfully addresses complex construction challenges through advanced satellite positioning techniques, particularly in creating the precise arc-shaped geometric color blocks and curved walls. Notable features include an ecological farm, natural teaching areas, and various activity zones that support theme-based teaching concepts, all contributing to a comprehensive educational environment that nurtures children's aesthetic sensibilities and creative development while maintaining strong connections to the local community and cultural heritage.
