The COVID-19 pandemic has created the biggest disruption of education systems in 2020, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners in more than 190 countries and all continents. Closures of schools and other learning spaces have impacted 94 percent of the world’s student population. An entire generation has seen its education interrupted. Preventing a learning crisis from becoming a generational catastrophe requires urgent action from all. Under the circumstance, we try to create a safe space for learning. Under the circumstance, children are forced to go outside to do activities by the rule of social distancing. Original lecture rooms turned out to be useless or less used due to the special situation.
Thus, the essence of the classroom needs to be defined again. Nowadays, the classroom is not only a space for giving lectures or gaining knowledge but also for students to interact with teachers in a closer way. Hence, we put focus on jumping out of tradition as a pointcut of this design project. From this point of view, the use of space and human behavior will be changed in the near future. The most important thing is to launch a revolution of the educational system by design!
Rethinking the school in urban scale, we found some learning resources that can correspond with the needs of school lectures. For instance, students can enjoy their scientific exploration in museums or in neighborhood parks. As a result, we try to project the school space into urban space. The school in the future will no longer fix in a building for 6-8 hours. On the contrary, students will explore through the city that embodies the concept :
school is the epitome of society.

This is temporary classrooms for urban school which make use of cargo trucks. To fold different Specialized classrooms into a cube for a truck to load, the classroom on the wheel is constructed with steel panels like any other containers, yet applying accordion structure as rain shelter when classrooms are "unboxed". Inside the classroom package, each space is composed of dynamic FRP furniture with vivid colors fixed onto each wall panel.
