Guangming Higher Technology College,Shenzhen

The project is located in Shenzhen. The three-dimensional university campus is not only an effective integration of space and function, but also a positive response to the process of modern urbanization. Guangming University of Science and Technology will focus on the concept of urbanity throughout, and is committed to building an international open campus, highlighting the DNA of scientific and technological innovation, promoting exchanges through disciplinary integration, and sharing resources with surrounding communities to form an ecologically sustainable campus environment.

A Vertical and Open Campus Model

A vertical campus effectively integrates space and function, responding proactively to modern urbanization. This design consistently emphasizes urbanity, aiming to create an international, open campus that highlights the DNA of technological innovation. It fosters exchange through interdisciplinary integration while sharing resources with the surrounding community, cultivating an ecologically sustainable campus environment.

Flexible and Adaptive External Environment

The design area already has a biology research building, an experimental building, an exchange center and a teachers' apartment. The newly added site will construct a teaching area mainly focused on vocational education, an activity venue mainly for sports, and student dormitories mainly for relaxation. Different from the traditional horizontal juxtaposition planning, this design breaks the convention and creates a highly flexible teaching complex. The towering exterior facade faces the main urban interface, presenting the campus image to the outside, while the interior forms a large area of sports zones, blocking the line of sight with the urban roads. At the same time, the ground-floor elevated podium forms a public square, providing a shared space for the integration of the city and the campus.

Rich and Diverse Spatial Creation

The spatial layout follows the design concept of simplicity and order, as well as openness and diversity. The ground floor is elevated, eliminating the continuity and congestion of the urban interface. The "floating" design of the podium building blocks creates open and shady spaces, facilitating people's entry, stay, visit and relaxation from different directions. The open landscape design on the ground floor creates an expansive, transparent and free public space. The central shared space system introduced connects different types of spaces, forming the most dynamic social venue. Functions with strong public nature, such as the auditorium and retail, are placed on the lower floors. The library, as the second public functional layer, is located in the middle. While the more private offices and classrooms are set on the upper floors, blurring the boundaries of traditional floors, enhancing the spatial activity and promoting the mutual gathering and communication of the general public and research groups.
