Project Description:
Bey's interiors for the ROC Professional Training School feature classrooms divided by fabric screens, and floors made of Senso Freeze (a material that allows for incorporating digital photo images into the permanent floor matrix). The overriding patterns on classroom walls, floor, and furnishings are taken from the textbooks the students of the school would be using and combined into a whimsical, unique space, where the students' very thought and inspiration is printed throughout their workspace. It must be stressed, however, that the ROC Professional Training School provides vocational training to high school graduates who can, indeed, "handle" such an invigorating interior; whether such patterns would be appropriate for the elementary-school classrooms full of easily-distracted children, is for the child psychologists to decide.
