Campus Small Integrated Complex Design

About the Project

A small integrated service complex situated at the southeast corner of the new sports field on the campus of South Forest University, serving the surrounding area while looking towards the future. The original site was a croquet field. The design requirements include: total building area between 500-1000 m², shop area 120 m², hot and cold beverage area 100 m², public restroom 40 m², and management offices.

Starting the Project

The site is located in the eastern part of Nanjing Forestry University campus. Establishing a small campus integrated complex here would enhance the connectivity between the road and the sports field, providing a place for gatherings, resting, and public facilities.

At the same time, I don't want to give up the croquet area, as every evening I often see many middle-aged and elderly residents playing there. Therefore, I proceeded with my design while preserving the croquet area.

Summary

I found myself embarking on three complete iterations of this project. During my junior year internship and portfolio preparation, I revisited this project to recapture the lightness and transparency inherent in the initial draft. This project could potentially signify the culmination of my architectural endeavors. Among all courses, my resonance with architecture has been particularly pronounced.
