Aoe managed the entire process from concept to implementation of the project. The design incorporates four key concepts: technology, sustainability, local culture and industrial memory of the original site. This integration creates a world-class green and intelligent education base for the future.

The lobby design combines contemporary technology with classical elegance. The large lantern and the steps below form the HUB of the space.

The “Magnetic Wall” above the Historical Gallery and the “Tree of Culture & Values” at the end represents a combined display surface and focal point for the Smart Green Campus.

    Learning Experience

 Through the “Magnetic wall” are space tunnels that lead to more than 40 independent classrooms. Participants gather here in small groups of 12 to 24 to engage in interactive learning activities such as group cooperation, discussion and consultation.

The Future Classroom is an independent space designed for immersive experience, equipped with high-end multimedia equipment.

On one side of the green wall, the Grand Ballroom highlights the collision between future technology and local culture, bringing participants a unique visual experience and deep cultural heritage.

On the other side of the green wall are two space energy centers : a restaurant and a bar.

The energy supply stations distributed on each floor of the independent classrooms – a series of small teahouses with local characteristics,.
