"Amid the tides of time, architecture bears witness to change, taking on new roles within the same site. Situated within an elementary school campus, the project occupies a rare, well-preserved early 20th-century residential buildingoriginally constructed during the Japanese colonial periodnow embedded within a contemporary educational environment. Once a humble dwelling, the space now serves as a rush-weaving classroom. Rather than restoring a relic, the design opens a dialogue between history and daily life, creating a third space between memory and use."

An early 20th-century residential building located inside an elementary school campus was converted into a rush-weaving classroom. The building dates to the Japanese colonial period and remains notably well preserved within a contemporary educational setting. The intervention emphasizes adaptation over restoration, enabling the building to serve contemporary functions while retaining historical character. The design creates a mediated "third space" that connects memory and daily use, allowing craft activities to coexist with school life. Spatial and programmatic adjustments prioritize continuity, functional adaptability, and the coexistence of heritage and educational practice.
