Located centrally in the new Nanjing University Campus in Xianlin, this building aims to offer a singular expression of the dialogue between two opposing paradigmatic forms of symbolic significance: a curving roof that appears to be related to the landscape of the larger campus context, and a tower which acts as a beacon and observation point. The design exploits the techniques and economy of local construction practices as a means to develop an exceptional form. The interior follows an exceedingly compact plan of different types and sizes of rooms and auditoriums.
这个建筑位于仙林中央的南京大学新校区,它旨在为两个对立的象征性范例形式之间的对话赋予一个奇特的表达:一个看起来跟周边校园景观产生关联的弯曲屋顶裙房和一个充当灯塔与观察点的塔楼。作为一种开发卓越形式的手段,该设计充分利用了技术和当地的建设经济。室内不同类型、尺寸的房间和报告厅都遵循着一个极度紧凑的规划。
