Shenzhen is a youthful city , characterized by its freedom and openness , as well as its global perspective and Chinese characteristics .
on the first floor . The seated stairs face the semiopen and closed cafe , creating a seamless connection and dialogue relationship with the cafe . It provides an open road show , exchange , and rest . It is worth mentioning is that the cafe is connected to an outside sunken square , where designers have incorporated a static water feature connected with an external outdoor leisure space , promoting interaction between people and their environment .
The coffee bar serves multiple functions ; its location on the lower level creates a quiet and open atmosphere for students to relax away from academic pressure as part of their balanced lifestyle .
The amphitheater and flat classroom are perfect examples of blending futurism with practical needs . The spatial form has been practiced by the school for many years and has been continuously optimized . The designer has made appropriate adjustments in lines , lighting , and tone to restore the teaching scene of Shanghai headquarters , while incorporating Shenzhen characteristics that reflect innovation and excellence in education .
The minimalist corridor uses surface light sources and mixed granular ceramic panel wall surfaces along geometric stacked straight stairs to create a calm space that expresses minimalism , combined with modern aesthetics .
The entire dining area is designed with openness and accessibility in mind , responding to natural light and views created by outdoor vertical vegetation . Reflective ceilings and columns encourage harmony between humans and nature .
Architecture should be a blank container for human activity , encouraging social interaction while providing space for personal reflection . The spatial
layout of the business School strikes the right balance between public and private , promoting knowledge sharing and the social dimension of science . It also innovatively interprets the needs of educational space , creating possibilities for multi-dimensional communication and exchange through a design that will withstand the test of time .
