About The Circle 國際學校
The Circle係一間位於中國合肥空港新區嘅國際學校。學校包括幼稚園、小學同中學,共有九十個班級,建築面積達四萬平方米。為咗回應西面嘅公園同湖景,以及基地嘅橢圓形狀,建築物以擁抱嘅姿態向公園敞開。校園生活圍繞住中央運動場而佈置,所以大部分房間都享有開闊嘅景觀。幼稚園係一座獨立嘅建築物。高度模組化嘅建造方式限制咗模組類型嘅數量,並縮短咗建造時間。

- Unique Properties
- As the first international school in Hefei Airport New Area, it includes kindergarten, primary school and middle school. In response to the large park and lake view on the west side, as well as the oval shape of the site, the building opens to the park in an embracing gesture. It innovatively makes all kinds of school life revolve around the central dynamic space. Integrate eastern philosophy of equality into architectural form and living conditions.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The building area is 40,000 square meters, including 90 classes.

- Production Technology
- The design of the school enhances its prefabrication rate by being highly modular. Although the building is circular and has many curves, after research, the types of modules have been greatly reduced, which not only saves energy consumption, but also saves construction time and avoids environmental pollution.
- Design Challenge
- 1.The standard field of the 400-meter track is a contradiction with the insufficient land area. The traditional layout will cause the building space to be squeezed, and the teaching space will no longer be comfortable. Put the sports field in the center and let the building surround it to ensure that every room has a good view and faces the park. The architectural form is stretched and imposing.
2.The park on the northwest side is a resource that can be used, although it is not within the red line of the land. Consider the sports fields in the school and the sports facilities in the park in a unified manner, so that they are visually connected to form a larger system of physical education venues. - Research
- Do schools need to be zoned strictly for loud and quiet? This is a subject worth discussing. Due to the very regular behavior of the students, physical exercise and sleep at the same time are rarely seen. So the division of schools can be re-studied and tried.
- Inspiration
- First, the circular site makes the traditional layout of the grid difficult to be self-consistent, and we need a more fluid space experience.
Secondly, the beautiful park and lake makes any blocking of sight a pity, we need to spread all the building spaces around a dynamic center with the best view and atmosphere. - Project Duration
- The project started in may 2022 in hefei, china. Won the bid.
- Operation Flow
- The school consists of two parts: the kindergarten is a separate building because it was built last; the middle school and primary school are in one building, surrounding the playground.
Taking the main entrance as the dividing line, the west side of the main building is the primary school teaching area and dormitory, and the right side is the junior high school and high school. The classrooms are close to the school gate, and the dormitories are at the quiet far end.
Public functions such as the library and gymnasium are located on the lower level and face the playground; classrooms and offices are located above. - Team Members
