“The purpose of education is to awaken, not to shape”, and the campus and the natural environment should not exist in isolation, so we try to break away from the traditional perception of campus space and try to integrate the valley, sunshine and the new campus, so that young people can unleash their curiosity and exploratory nature and spend their middle school years in an ecologically pleasant campus. Hangzhou Zhongtai Middle School was founded in 2001, and with the continuous influx of urban population, the student population of Zhongtai Middle School has been expanding. In order to create an ecological and free campus environment, the school decided to relocate to a new campus in Yuhang Zhongtai Street. After sorting out the surrounding natural and urban environment elements, we came up with the “study mall” architectural design concept, which abandons the traditional inward-looking campus environment that focuses on coursework and tends to face the city, nature and education with an inclusive attitude, creating a “multi-dynamic line, courtyard-style, and shared campus”.
Part 01. Background of Campus Design
Located in Zhongtai Street, Nanhu New City, Yuhang District, Hangzhou, the new site of Zhongtai Middle School is adjacent to the Future Science and Technology City in the south, next to the farmland in the northeast, facing the mountains and waters, with a high degree of urban accessibility. The plot is a rectangle which is relatively long from east to west and wide from north to south, with a total floor area of 80,000 ㎡. The design put the functions of teaching, sports and living into the campus from west to east, accommodating a total of 51 classes, as well as a 400m standard running track, and keeping the campus open to the city at the right time.
The design echoes the urban texture, adopts a sparse and dense spatial pattern, and neutralizes the free and centralized planning methods to give full play to each of its strengths. The architecture and nature provide shelter for each other, with each function scattered and radiated to create a pan-core ecological green valley campus, which enables students to receive secondary education and acquire more knowledge, and at the same time, they can walk, run, and look into the distance freely, and stroll freely in the scale of the intimate, ecologically pleasing campus, as if they were accompanied by the mountains and forests.
