Project

After the study on background and survey on site, we supposed to create a compatible dialog between the old and the new, a comparison between the classicism and modern, a transition between the private and the public. In the typical neo-classicism style campus, Our concept, 'TOGETHER', is to make use of transition box to connect existed building of laboratories and the main functoin of lecture hall. Above all, following design steps are based on the request of whole site planning and the symmetrical geometry of the central building.

To rearrange the function for the two main classroom and redesign the individual streamlines for different types of users, we adjusted the basic type of new addition and also try to provide better solution on sustainable material choice.

Considering the existed structure mixed with original mansory & concrete structure and later renovation of reinforcement concrete, we choose steel as main new structure to connect with existed building and new timber frame facade which is playing significant role to resist the original geometry and rhythm of south facade.

Site

On site plan design, we insist the original symmetry on the plan design, including the new addition and the landscape design. Transiton volume with glass and steel frame is specially emphasised between the old and the new construction proposal, from the roof top plan, it is also obvious of the gradient privacy from existed building as academic research center, transition area as main entrance and the roof of lecture hall as green roof open to the public.

Landscape

In the landscape surrounding the Building 22090, we tried our best to preserve the existed trees on site and moditfied landscape proposal to match our renovation project. The southern part has more urban furnitures to link with the public green roof, while the northern part that has more shadows was designed as a traffic functional landscape.

Ground floor site plan

On the ground floor part, we attemped to consider whole campus as a intergrated one with contineous circulation from different entrances of buildings on site. In our building 22090, we preserve its existed entrances for professors and researchers inside, and created two new entrances in the glass transition volume especially for the lecture hall and computer lab used by university students. For the more public green roof open to the campus, the stairs towards to it are really easy and convinient to get from the existed circulation in campus.

Entrance for lecture hall

The lecture hall has its own entrance from the north facade, we try to respond to the whole campus lecture hall layout and put the entrances at the same direction, this is also benifit on the elevation design to match thythm with the proginal north facade of existed building.
