Environmental Education and Shared Ecological Green Space

The core of learning does not lie in receiving externally processed information, but in the interaction between children and their environment. On the site of a former sugar refinery, surrounded by high-rise buildings, rich cultural heritage, community-building initiatives, and large trees, we envision the new campus as a “Community Ecological Experiential School.” Here, students will explore knowledge of sustainable development through interaction with nature, cultivating awareness of environmental protection.

Open and Flexible Learning Spaces

With ongoing transformations in education, learning spaces must adapt to new pedagogies and educational technologies. Social spaces have become increasingly important, as informal learning areas allow the entire campus to function as a place for learning. This requires spaces with key attributes: openness and flexibility.

“Everywhere is a classroom.” Learning is no longer confined to classrooms but can take place anywhere. Movable partitions transform segregated resources into shared opportunities, shifting from passive provision to active accessibility. Wide corridors serve not only as passageways but also as versatile learning spaces, enabling children to move seamlessly between indoors and outdoors for diverse activities.

“Everywhere is a museum.” When school facilities become part of the curriculum, architectural materials, furniture, clocks, lighting, cultural signage, and even color palettes become “living” teaching tools for inquiry and exploration. This design closely integrates learning with everyday life, making the campus a genuine base for discovery and practice.

“Everywhere is a stage.” Spacious and diverse areas provide platforms for students to showcase their creativity and talents, from art and book exhibitions to performances and competitions. Students are encouraged to transform doodles into creative expressions on windows and doors, using colors and brushes to express themselves. The campus thus becomes a space that inspires imagination.

Community Learning and Education Hub

As a community learning and education hub, the campus adopts an open design that integrates into the Qiaotou district. Through shared public spaces and resources, it builds a close connection between school and community. Facilities such as the library, auditorium, sports fields, and green spaces serve multiple functions, becoming centers for cultural exchange, recreation, and community activities. These not only meet educational needs but also invigorate the neighborhood, strengthening social cohesion, health, and interaction.

Green Campus and Sustainable Design

The campus integrates sustainable strategies such as natural lighting, wind guides, and shading systems to create a low-energy, smart learning environment. Features like green roofs, ecological ponds, and rainwater harvesting reduce environmental impact while providing abundant opportunities for environmental education. This school stands as a model of sustainable development, combining education and ecology to shape a vision of coexistence with nature for the next generation.
