important waterways. These previously

crucial irrigation waterways for agriculture

are becoming left out in the ongoing

urbanization. In the vary near future . The

site will be education and cultural center

for the new residential district in south

Ningbo.

Design Strategy

The design mainly consider two factors: classroom / playground, how to organise them well and response to the environment?

Design try to merge the river

and green filed from south and east , avoid the traffic influence from north and west.

Enclose the building to separate three levels of grades

According to the sunlight ,

classroom should try to get enough sunlight, and range of the orientation of playground is between 20 ° southeast to 10° southwest.

The roof yard is another style of playground, nice view, more sunshine.

Create several courtyards which surrounded by classroom.

All the buildings connect through the air galleries , which makes it convenient to reach each spot , and give the students an opportunity to play together.

The pedestrian street flows through a serious of courtyards owned by years of students grades 1-6. Here ,young people grow through their place from North toward South. This transition begins looking into sheltered place grand to the scale of person and unfolds along the layers of route. The courtyards are titled respectively: world , crossroads and the embracing courtyard . While grand visions prevail in the world of youngsters , and lasting introductions at crossroads of the middle years , the intimacy of embrace inscribes a confident release into the activities filed and beyond.

建筑策略 冷库周边厂房环绕,大都老旧粗糙,也没有形成有效的绿地公园,临界的两面萧条混乱,改造冷库无法通过”借景”来提升空间质量. 因此通过建筑内部创造中庭等公共空间, 形成内向的,富有活力的动线和丰富的空间变化.
