Shunde Primary School
2014 | Shunde, Guangdong, China | Community, Education
A campus as a second home.
We wanted to give the school a strong character. The campus exterior is vivid terracotta, made of local bricks, and marked by white diamond patterns that give it a distinct and memorable identity.
The classroom and student residence blocks are connected on all levels by a series of bridges—these are requisite fire escape routes that children would, later in adulthood, remember as impromptu play spaces.
Shunde is a new school in a progressive and fast-changing Chinese city so it is important that the school is future-proof and adaptable for changing use. Having connected blocks gives the school the option to transition to flexible learning in time to come.
