Project type

Education

Date

2022-2023

Location

Chisinau, Moldova

The interior concept of the Orange Digital Center (ODC) Moldova is defined by its function as a modern, dynamic hub for digital education, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The design philosophy is highly focused on creating an environment that fosters collaboration, creativity, and technological exploration.

The design is not just aesthetic; it is deliberately structured to support the four main programs housed within the ODC: the Coding School, the Women Digital Center, the Solidarity FabLab, and the Startup Accelerator (Orange Fab).
The space, approximately 460 m2, is divided into distinct, purpose-built zones that require specific furniture and infrastructure:The Coding School/Training Rooms: These areas are optimized for focused learning and large group sessions. They feature: Modular Furniture: Tables and chairs that can be quickly rearranged from classroom-style seating to collaborative, group workshop clusters (essential for methodologies like Design Thinking).
High-Tech Integration: Smart TVs, projectors, and strong Wi-Fi access are seamlessly built into the infrastructure.
The Solidarity FabLab (Digital Manufacturing Workshop): This is a specialized, hands-on industrial zone dedicated to prototyping and creation. It requires: Workbenches and Open Space: Durable, heavy-duty surfaces to accommodate equipment like 3D printers, CNC laser cutters, digital sewing machines, and embedded systems kits.Industrial/Lab Aesthetic: Likely features a cleaner, more utilitarian design with clear sightlines and easy access to tools, fostering a "learning by doing" approach (STEAM integration).
Co-working/Community Connector Areas: These zones support networking, events, and informal learning. They include: Relaxed Seating: Sofas, armchairs, and bean-bags to encourage spontaneous social interaction and brainstorming outside of formal classes.
Event Space: An open, adaptable area for the "Connector" events and workshops.

The color scheme is likely light and neutral (white, gray) to create an airy, focused environment, contrasted sharply with Orange's signature vibrant orange color used as an accent for branding, signage, and directional elements.

Open layouts and potentially glass partitions are used to promote a sense of community, visibility, and shared learning among the different programs.
