If reading is a belief, will the high walls of academies be The Bodhi? Or something features the Pagoda?
Are people living today surrounded by new technology and urban mist thirst for a place like this? A place where children's voices reading aloud can be heard, and their chasing and laughing figures can be seen. Are children eager to be here, learn from each other in a kind atmosphere?
On the upper level, quiet classrooms and offices are set facing south, that provide best daylight and backward terraces for children from each classroom to go out to play during breaks. While on the lower floors, library, cantina, gym, playrooms and other public spaces are organized only edged by glass curtain walls, which will make the ground floor a vivid overlaid image of activities.
Basketball courts, volleyball courts and other sports fields are set between buildings, with a widened 400 meters track connected in series. All the outdoor activities and indoor behavior are interwoven together in a pure school paysage.
Located among resident blocks, we intend to make the school more open to the neighborhood, where children’s laugh and talk will help the school turn to be a delighting area. Therefore, a long covered corridor around the school provide a place for citizens to relax and enjoy the scene of innocent kids. We are trying to create an attractive space, which is transparent but also mysterious. It will be like the starry night as well as the flourishing jungle.
Lying under the trees with pieces of shadows falling down from above, it is the slight vision of a peek through all these toward the infinite blue up high that drew one’s heart.
