In the mountain city of Chongqing, there is a middle school that integrates individualized educational thinking into the campus environment. It is like a spaceship that landed on the Earth out of nowhere. The conflicting and inclusive traits are just rightly integrated, which makes you wonder whether there is a possibility to subvert the known outside the traditional educational space.
Chongqing Nankai LiangJiang Secondary School is located in Longxing Development Zone, Liangjiang New District, Chongqing City. When you enter the campus, you will feel its unconventional space shaping. Thanks to the School’s great tolerance of design ideas, it is the entry point for the design to give full play to the design ingenuity within a limited venue and achieve maximized functions while improving the space efficiency and enriching campus life.
The teaching buildings of the headquarters campus present a layout encompassing the library. It is speculated that the campus space scale of such a layout is more abundant, so the current design also follows the spatial logic of the headquarters campus of Chongqing Nankai Middle School. However, within the base area, the height difference, noise, and land use range constitute the design constraints. Not only is the space efficiency taken into consideration, but the spirit of openness and enterprising in the campus culture of Chongqing Nankai Middle School also affects the consideration of the design of the Secondary School.
The curriculum schedule in secondary schools is commonly intense. For students and teachers, the efficiency of the space is closely related to them.
With only a 10-minute break time, they need to have a short break and prepare for the next class. In order to achieve an efficient class transfer route, a continuous and clear traffic streamline is adopted for the outer ring of classrooms, while the route of the inner ring of classrooms is relatively free and blurred, making walking in the space full of efficiency and fun.
