It’s said that “Beauty is a kind of spiritual exercises”. Beautiful artistic image can make people’s heart pure and help people to develop healthy personality. Campus and environment as another kind of classroom play an important role for education. So our design is aiming to create a beautiful and unique campus. Modern education promotes “inspiration and guidance”, and the ultimate goal of education is not to give knowledge itself, but the skills and methods to acquire knowledge. Inspired by this concept, designers seek to create a unique space with featured style to emphasize environment’s importance for education.
​
​The library, located in the center of the campus, together with the science and technology building, laboratory building, administration building and classroom building comprises a multi functional space with open style. Thus designers achieved an intelligent campus.
​
Designers focus on ecological and environmental protection. The noise sources will be shielded by the greenbelt to form a beautiful and quiet learning environment and achieve harmony between architecture and green space as well. The green landscape will be integrated into the building and its interior courtyard, forming more pleasant views. The dialogue between architecture and landscape help designers to create a distinctive space.
