Invited competition.
PURCHASE PRIZE
Masterplan for a school campus.
Program: Five school buildings for cultural and arts studies, experimental theatre, cultural centre, offices, student housing and cultural facilities.
Total area: 7 ha.
Location: Wuxi, China.
Design: 2012-2013.

The design of the schools district and the related public space starts from the reinterpretation of the traditional courtyard house. The 4 sides of the house are exploded, becoming each one an autonomous building. They transform the traditional private courtyard into a collective semi-private space, reserved to the students’ activities. The 4 school buildings are as well supplied with intenal courtyards, bringing the urban concept back to its traditional architectural scale.
Sustainability in a fast urbanization calls for simplicity, sobriety, pragmatism, elegance. The most efficient way to emerge in a screaming parade is silence. The project locates in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, Changjiang River Delta. Wuxi is strategically located in an area equally distant 100 km from Shanghai, Huangzhou and Suzhou. This offers the city a leading role in the regional development. The Wuxi Art School campus is located in the majour Outang University campus. The total site area amounts to approximately 7.3 ha, developing linearly in direction NW-SE.
This project has the ambition to explore a sustainable model to develop a educational campus, which could guarantee a long-term payback for the investors in terms of economy, social and environmental development.

该项目的学校区及相关公共空间的设计始于对传统四合院的重新诠释。房子从四个方向分开，成为四个建筑单体。设计将传统的私人庭院转变成了集体的半私密空间，用于学生活动。 四个单体校舍以及用内置式庭院，使得现代都市重新回到了传统建筑观念的尺度。

“可持续性”在快速城市化的环境中意味着“简约，清爽，务实，优雅”。正如在喧闹的游行中最有效的凸显方式就是保持安静。

本项目位于江苏省无锡市，一个距离上海，杭州，南京均有约100多公里的城市，这使得无锡在区域发展中显得出类拔萃。无锡文化艺术学校位于藕塘职教文化园区内，总占地面积约7.3公顷，基地为东南-西北方向条形。

本方案尝试探索在教育型校园中使用“可持续”的模型，以保证投资获得长期的社会经济及环境发展的效益。
