Link-Arc
An aerial precedent for high-density urban campus design, integrating undulating green and colored roofs into a dense tower-dominated neighborhood.
- What we like about this project
- Brightly colored ribbons weave through the green landscaped roofs, creating playful contrast.

- Geometry
- Low-rise campus volumes weave across the dense urban block, featuring undulating, layered green and colored roofs.
- Facade system
- Light-colored wall panels interspersed with continuous horizontal strip windows.
- Structural guess
- Steel or reinforced concrete frame supporting large-span curved roof profiles.
- Spatial scale
- Macro urban scale, showing a sprawling school campus nestled among dense vertical tower blocks.
- Lighting
- Direct late-afternoon sunlight casting sharp shadows across adjacent high-rises and illuminating the sloped campus roofs.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and sculptural landscaped forms contrasting with the rigid geometry of the surrounding high-rise city.
- Environmental context
- Extremely dense urban context surrounded by mid-rise and high-rise apartment towers and city streets.
- Spatial experience
- From above, the continuous landscaped roofscape visually bridges campus program masses within a high-density urban fabric.
- Composition rhythm
- Dynamic diagonal movement across the roofs balancing the strict grid of surrounding urban blocks.
