Adopting the design philosophy of “Mending & Continuity”, this project systematically establishes green design strategies in terms of ecological integration, climate adaptation, functional intensification, and modular expansion.
01 Campus Mending and Ecological Corridor Connection
Parcel 1 adopts an L-shaped layout with an open central space. Combined with a multi-level north-south landscape platform system, it connects the campus central landscape with the urban ecological green corridor to the north, forming a green mountain-and-water corridor. The buildings are stacked and elevated, continuing the campus skyline from low to high and achieving organic integration between architecture and nature.
02 Lingnan Climate and Passive Design
In response to Shenzhen’s hot climate, Parcel 2 adopts a self-shading form with a larger upper volume and a smaller base. The ground floor is transparent and open, with horizontal multi-level landscape platforms extending toward the Alumni Forest, forming a vertically shared green “magic cube”. The roof adopts BIPV photovoltaic integration to realize efficient utilization of natural energy and reduce building energy consumption.
03 Process Priority and Three-Dimensional Flow Separation
Guided by technical requirements, large-space and heavy-load laboratories are arranged on lower floors, while laboratories with large exhaust emissions are placed on upper floors, conforming to airflow logic. A three-dimensional pedestrian-cargo separation system is adopted: vertical service cores are set on both sides of the tower, and pedestrian cores are arranged in the middle with an open atrium, improving operational efficiency and reducing cross-contamination risks.
04 Modular Layout and Future Adaptability
The floor plan adopts modular units, with north-south zoning around the circulation cores. The north zone consists of standard laboratory modules, and the south zone comprises shared research modules, allowing flexible combination and free division to adapt to the development needs of different disciplines. This avoids large-scale demolition and reconstruction caused by functional adjustments and ensures life-cycle sustainability.
05 Site Memory and Spatial Mending
Parcel 2 responds to the form of the original sunken plaza with a semicircular volume, continuing the surrounding architectural interface. Through landscape platforms, the ecology of the Alumni Forest is introduced into the ground floor of the building, realizing harmonious coexistence between the new building and the existing campus texture.
