The Shenzhen Innovation and Creativity Design College campus, located in the Phoenix Mountain Creative Park, is a new campus for the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), which was founded in 2011. The new campus will accommodate over 4,000 students and faculty. The project, envisioned as a new landmark for Bao’an district, embodies a harmonious relationship between the building’s volume and the natural landscape, with a focus on sustainability and innovation. The design draws inspiration from the ancient Chinese character “一” (one), representing the connection between the mountains and water, and forming a continuous and horizontal volume that blends seamlessly with the existing landscape. The design also prioritizes connectivity between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a vibrant campus environment that encourages interaction and exchange. The project features a unique “super roof” that offers panoramic views of the city and features a rooftop garden, a terrace, a plaza, and outdoor sports fields. The “super roof” also integrates solar panels, contributing to the overall sustainability of the project. The dormitory areas, designed as a traditional Chinese courtyard village, feature natural lighting and ventilation and incorporate existing topography. The building materials, primarily metal and glass, create a visually striking and sustainable design. The overall design of the campus is flexible and adaptable, creating a dynamic and stimulating learning environment for students.
