About Shenzhen Vocational Kambasi yeDzidzo yeMabasa eMaoko

Shenzhen Vocational ipaki yedzidzo yakavakwa panzvimbo ine zvikomo muShenzhen, China. Zvikoro zvitatu zvakabatanidzwa kuita kambasi imwe chete uye zvinogovana zvivakwa zvikuru kuburikidza nemikoto yekufamba nezvinobatanidza zviri pasi pevhu. Zvivakwa zvinotevedzera mamiriro enzvimbo zvichiita matanho, izvo zvinoderedza kucherwa kwevhu uye zvinochengetedza masikirwo enzvimbo. Madenga akadyarwa miti, masisitimu ekudyara akamira, nzira dzakarongwa nematombo anopinza mvura uye migero yakadyarwa uswa ndizvo zvinotungamira mvura yemvura. Madziro egirazi anogadzira magetsi ezuva nemasisitimu ekutonhodza anoshandisa mvura yemadhamu zvinoderedza kushandiswa kwesimba. Marongerwo acho anotsigira kudzidza kwakagovaniswa nekuenzana kwezvakatipoteredza.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The project integrates architecture with topography, forming a three dimensional "mountain valley water" layout that cascades along the terrain, reducing excavation and preserving the natural environment. Three schools share core facilities through corridors and underground links, promoting efficient resource use. Inspired by Eastern philosophy, the design mimics water carved valleys with green roofs, achieving ecological harmony and cultural expression.
Dimensions & Packaging: The layout follows natural valleys, maintaining an earthwork balance rate above 85%. Over 60% of hardscaping uses permeable materials, while rooftops offer 30% green coverage via vertical and modular systems. Photovoltaic panels and rainwater systems support on site energy and water cycles. Smart systems regulate building climate, enabling an eco campus that responds to both terrain and weather in a subtropical region.

Production Technology: Eco friendly materials such as recycled stone, weathering steel, and vertical greening systems reduce environmental impact. Photovoltaic glass curtain walls and reservoir fed cooling systems improve energy efficiency. Elevated pile foundations and prefabricated steel structures adapt to the hilly site, while permeable pavements and bioswales create a sponge city campus that integrates sustainability and terrain adaptability.
Design Challenge: Key challenges included complex terrain, ecological sensitivity, and multi stakeholder coordination. Terraced building forms resolved topographic issues, while micropile foundations and radar monitoring addressed slope stability. Open maker spaces and shared facilities encouraged social interaction and vocational innovation. Strict ecological limits near the reservoir guided material choices and building height, balancing architectural ambition with environmental stewardship.
Research: This research driven design explored how to build a sustainable vocational campus within mountainous terrain. Methods included GIS analysis, field surveys, and cross disciplinary planning. Participants included education experts, ecologists, and engineers. Results show that shared infrastructure, low impact construction, and industry linked training hubs improve both environmental and operational performance. It sets a benchmark for future green vocational campuses in China and beyond.
Inspiration: Drawing from the wisdom of Lingnan traditional architecture, such as covered corridors, elevated floors, and courtyard spaces that adapt to Shenzhen's hot and humid climate by "conforming to the terrain and promoting ventilation and shading." Incorporating lessons from Nanyang Technological University's "Green Heart" in Singapore and ETH Zurich's "mountain campus" in Switzerland, blending ecology with technology.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2024 in Shenzhen, China and finished in March 2025.
Operation Flow: The project emphasizes accuracy and coordination from concept to execution. Early collaboration with consultants ensured technical feasibility, while mid stage facade manuals clarified materials and construction logic. Late stage execution involved rigorous sample reviews and frequent site checks to ensure implementation quality. This structured workflow guaranteed that the campus achieved both technical precision and emotional resonance in its built form.
