Tap-Tap Trail

Zixuan Luo, Bella Wu

Tap-Tap Trail is a proposal designed to support sensory-driven growth while addressing key challenges of ECD construction in South Africa: cost, constructibility, and adaptability. The design centers on modular classrooms and amenities wrapped by a continuous veranda, where architecture becomes a trail of discovery. Tap-Tap Trail weaves play and discovery into the architecture itself—where learning begins not just with instruction, but with a child's spontaneous tap.
