The design of Banlan School reconciles the complexity and density of the site. By elevating the main activity level and put gymnasiums, libraries and other public spaces under, we create a public and interactive boundary towards the city, enclosed by which the existing soil were filled to form a large ‘tree pool’, allowing trees to grow heathy. Thus a place for student to enjoy nature is formed. We take advantage of the only two visual corridors to the context around the site, and designed at the two end spaces focusing on student activities, to allow an ‘overlook’ the cityscape.
