Jiaxing-Island-嘉兴岛-960x620
上海
An aerial site precedent showing a multi-winged stone institutional compound nestled within a river bend, useful for campus and waterfront master planning studies.
- What we like about this project
- Green roofs step down and integrate with the internal courtyards, blurring the boundary between building and landscape.

- Geometry
- A low-rise multi-wing compound arranged around internal courtyards, sitting on an insular green knoll carved by converging rivers.
- Facade system
- Precast or natural stone cladding with integrated vertical louvers and punched window openings.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with stone cladding panels
- Spatial scale
- Expansive campus scale, three to four stories in height, set within a vast river and landscape network.
- Lighting
- Soft ambient daylight cast across the green landscape and pale building facades with gentle shadows.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, isolated institutional sanctuary surrounded by flowing water and lush greenery.
- Environmental context
- A natural river loop and extensive wetland greenery surrounding an isolated institutional plot.
- Spatial experience
- From above, the complex reads as a monolithic yet fragmented cluster of institutional volumes integrated into a river delta landscape.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical louvers and punched windows rhythmically articulate the long stone facade wings.
- Style reading
- Contemporary campus architecture in a natural landscape
