Located in the new CBD of the city, Shanghai Pinghe School Jinding Campus is bound to be a unique existence due to its high floor area ratio requirement of up to 3.0, international teaching mode and high-density surrounding urban environment. Most campuses run their own independent kingdoms in the city, but when the campus puts aside its ivory tower status and turns from a spectator of the city to a participant of the city, or even a leader of the urban space, its role takes on many possibilities. The designer has captured this strong urbanity which is rare on campus, taking gathering as the theme, and has created an urban dream theater without walls that can stimulate the desire for communication between teaching and learning.
A theater shared with the city
Theatre is a public stage. This campus is in the center of the city, where the surrounding urban image, urban space and urban functions are all echoed in the campus design. The campus has become a theater open to the city, with a variety of functional spaces reserved for the possibility of time-sharing with the city, as a cultural infrastructure to be built, shared and prospered with the city.
A theatre of thematic interpretation
Theater is the space for seeing and being seen, as well as a center for gathering activities. The core space of the campus is composed of two theaters with different themes. One is the wisdom theater, which organizes various learning activities, with the classrooms set back as the stands and a garden surrounded by the library as the stage. The other one is the vitality theater, which is a venue for various sports and performances, with a multi-layered circular corridor connecting public functions as the stand and a sunken sports field as the stage.
A theater of immersive exploration
Theater is a condensed life scene. And in the design, the high density of space is transformed into the high density of studying life. Education is isomorphic to life, which is exploratory in nature. As Whitehead pointed out, "Education is discipline for the adventure of life", campuses with highly complex functions and spaces convert the complexity of life into educational resources, to better adapt to the needs of diverse learning scenarios.
The project will be a three-dimensional urban school that integrates rich and varied utilization functions and the overall image of the area. And Shanghai Pinghe School Jinding Campus will be turned into an educational demonstration base with the idea of “Sharing, Coexistence, and Co-prosperity”.
