Shanghai High School is one of the most prestigious middle schools in Shanghai. The project site is located in the urban public green corridor of Shanghai Lin-gang Special Area, The design needs to answer some questions faced from the beginning: First, how to integrate the campus into the urban public space system as a participant in shaping the urban environment; Second, how to bring out the possibility of relieving stress from efficient and intense study life in terms of spatial design; Third, how to create a traditional and unique spatial language and experience for the new campus.

Finally, a dualistic narrative mode with "City" and "Island" as the main body has been chosen, trying to give responding strategies in contrastive, intertextual and structural tension.

One City, One Island: complementary campus spatial structure

  • Longmen Study City, a micro city with superimposed living density
  • A vibrant green island, where campus infrastructures feeds back the city

The campus is divided into two parts. One is to further gather the construction capacity along the roadside, and to superimpose the living density through composite functions, creating a highly intensive micro-study city. The other is to combine the released floor area ratio with the demand of sports facilities, shaping a vibrant green sports island by means of landscape. The separated island is connected to the city by bridges, and extended to the east urban park, creating possibility of time-sharing with the city, dedicating to the city as gift and becoming part of the urban green public space.

Within City, On Island: Shaping the scene of discipline and release

  • Courtyards and bridges, clues to order
  • Beyond the hills, the breath of freedom

As a result, completely different spatial qualities are presented in the Study City and the Green Island. Within the Study City, grouped courtyards and bridges of different heights connect various spaces, embodying rigorous sequences and efficient functions everywhere. On the Green Island, there is a suburban atmosphere, and moving freely in green spaces brings a rare sense of relaxation under the pressure of high-intensity study.

Duet of City and Island: contrast of space, color and material

  • Rigid and flexible: orthogonal grids and free paths
  • Appropriate shades: earth tones and plain nature

In terms of design language, the Study City and the Green Island also show their own unique processing principles. The "City" uses a geometric orthogonal system, matching with warm earth tones, to reflect classic modern space characteristics with warmth, while the "Island" uses flowing curved surfaces, matching with metallic plain colors, to reflect the characteristics of returning to nature and integrating with nature.

Through the design concept "Longmen Study City, Vibrant Green Island", East Shanghai High School Senior Division has built a paradise of knowledge with rich atmosphere in modernization, human-culturism, and gardenization. In the future, we will realize the linkage management of junior high schools and senior high schools at the same time, relying on the resources of the headquarters, and innovate in the sharing of resources, curriculum development, and teacher training.
