The shared communication space extends from indoor to outdoor.
The metaphor of “micro community” is used to contain and enrich this process, and the Architecture College is regarded as a small “community”.
Compared with the relatively heavy building volume of the lower two floors, the upper two floors are made of pure white aluminum plate, The light-weight and high-strength white UHPC is used as the vertical and outward sunshade in the east-west direction to form a suspended light strip volume.
The axis of the main entrance is continued through the transparent glass curtain wall at the north and south ends to become a visual corridor.

These two floors are mainly architectural and design classrooms – workshops, which are mainly open and changeable spaces, while enclosing and limiting the atrium space..
The horizontal texture of the parallel outer wall of black granite extends to the site and landscape design of the whole plot.
The glass skylight at the top introduces soft and bright natural light into the room through the filtration of aluminum square.

The campus architecture is also gradually promoted according to the needs of professional development, forming a campus architectural style with different styles and characteristics.
Facing the main entrance of the south campus, the six large colonnades that fall vertically from the top floor strengthen the building volume and deal with the visual image of the main entrance.
Design education is a continuous cycle of research, exploration and evaluation – students or independent or team work, and then review and evaluate the learning results.
Different from the “quick completion” of the new campus of domestic colleges and universities in recent years, the enrollment of Wenzhou Ken university has increased in an orderly manner with about 1300 people year by year since it opened in 2014.
It is the opposite building of the main entrance of the campus.
Project overview the school of architecture and design, which is jointly designed by Tongji design group (tjad) and Moore ruleyudell, is located in the center of the whole campus.

△ panoramic view of the West © Sethpowers △ top view from the Northeast © Sethpowers # design originated from the school of architecture and design of Wenzhou Ken University, named after the late famous architect Michael Graves, and focused on building it from the perspective of globalization; The building is located in the center of the campus directly opposite the main entrance on the south side.
The first and second floors are the public classrooms, laboratories, computer classrooms and administrative offices shared by the two colleges, the third floor is the shared map evaluation space, and the fourth and fifth floors are two long shapes at an angle, so as to obtain a broader landscape vision from the angle of opening to the north.
Facing the library on the north side of the central axis across the lake, it is the visual focus on the southernmost side of the main axis of the campus.
By implanting the five storey atrium space in the middle of the building as the community center, the fishbone shaped plane layout extends the public space from the atrium to all areas of the building to form a complete shared space network.
Learn from the scale of Chinese traditional alley space to create a pleasant indoor and outdoor communication space.
The sightseeing elevator and hanging stairs provide convenient transportation and free access to classrooms and activity places; The three storey high large steps not only meet the daily vertical traffic of a large number of people, but also serve as an open “multi-functional hall” for public lectures and reports of colleges and schools, which can accommodate 800 people for activities at the same time.
It can be seen that the school of architecture and design plays a leading role in the campus, and its importance has exceeded that of the library on the north side.
△ the roof garden on the second floor provides a perspective for leisure communication and looking around the whole campus © As the “city living room” of the whole campus, the atrium at the entrance of sethpowers is open to all teachers and students.
It is a Sino US cooperative university with independent legal personality and teachers from Ken University.
A “alley” space with a width of 6 meters and a height of 10 meters is formed between the two-story strip buildings.
The campus is located in Li’ao street, Ouhai District, Wenzhou, surrounded by natural mountains in the north and West, with beautiful scenery and pleasant environment.
The total land area is 28757 square meters, the total construction area is 15992 square meters, and there are five floors above the ground, including two independent colleges, the school of architecture and the school of design.
How to serve the teachers and students of the whole school on the premise of meeting the daily use functions of the two colleges is the starting point of the design idea.
