There’s something I’ve come to realize only after becoming an adult: studying is not just a phase but a lifelong journey. If you have the passion to learn something for the dreams you wish to achieve, studying is not an end point but a continuous companion. When I think back to my childhood studies, I recall the emotions I felt sitting at my small desk—chaos and growing pains intertwined with dreams, hope, and passion. Though I didn’t realize it then, those emotions likely became significant currents that guided me along the path of learning.

‘Learning Atmosphere’

Can a current flow through studying as well? Just as the weather influences our moods, emotions also impact our study habits. That’s why we create environments and seating arrangements that align with our feelings, believing that the seats we choose based on our emotions will foster immersion and focus. Here, at “STAND BY,” we provide a space where one can study in tune with the flow of their emotions.

‘Study Lounge’

The “STAND BY” space is located underground. The high ceiling divides the space into uplifting and grounding currents. The uplifting current instills a sense of hope and expectation for the future, while the grounding current offers time for focus and immersion. As you move deeper into the space, an environment conducive to concentration is created. People studying here are naturally drawn to seats that align with their emotions for the day. On clear days that bring refreshing feelings, one might choose an open, airy spot to study, while on monotonous, rainy days, a quieter corner may be more appealing. On days when anxiety strikes like a lightning bolt, a secluded area can help regain focus. And sometimes, on stormy days filled with fear and stillness, one prepares with a mindset of resilience. There are also spots that inspire thoughts of a bright future, like a rainbow after the rain. Thus, individuals select their seating and study within the unique currents of concentration they create.

The ultimate goal of this space is not merely to provide a quiet place to study but to create a location where emotions, focus, and the hope that lies beyond can coexist.
