Flexible classroom spaces 

Interchangeable/movable furniture 
Suit different teaching and learning styles
Interactive spaces

I Love this interactive piece from Bangkok University Creative Centre.  It made me think of the creative process. How you can get stuck and need a break of something to help you work through creative blocks. I thought this spinny wall could be a good break, a way to make patterns and leave messages. This lead me to my idea of the designers playground. I started to look into patterns and how words could be made within them as shown below. 
I looked at the playground and what each aspect of the playground offers. eg. The Park bench for watching, reflection and inspiration. The Seesaw for bouncing ideas off people, tossing up between 2 options etc. I liked this sort of analogy for the design process and wanted to somehow put it throughout the building so that the building itself was a place of inspiration, a place people came together and did better work than they would sitting on there own. A centre of collaboration. 
The idea was that the logo could come in many colours, with various students work exhibiting in the centre of the image. This would allow the logo to be fueled by the design school itself. Which is an idea a quite like, however I think there must be a better way to do it. Now quite satisfied with this outcome. Below are some examples expanding on this logo a bit.

I wanted the logo to make sense no matter what colours. Below is an example of how it could be used within a similar spinny style wall with shapes that relate to the logo itself.
This next inspiration is a corporate identity for a architecture firm. I really like how the pieces all fit together to create something. They have also demonstrated
