香港中文大学（深圳）校园二期 / 王维仁建筑设计研究室

山水交融与空间序列的精妙编排：该项目在狭长地块上成功延续了“山、林、院”的规划理念，巧妙地利用高低错落的体量组合，在相对高密度的功能需求下，织就了疏密有致的校园肌理。设计重点在于强化建筑群组与周边自然山水的联系，通过“亭子式”的公共建筑布局和视觉通廊，确保山景、水体及生态环境的渗透。通过在校园前、中、后段植入四个特色鲜明的建筑群组，形成了线型山水校园中的关键节点，展现了建筑与环境共生的设计智慧。

立体院落构建与尺度宜人的过渡空间：面对高密度开发挑战，项目摒弃了传统的平面围合模式，转而采用“平面围合向剖面平台关系转化”的策略。教学楼组团通过风车型布局和悬浮盒子设计，创造了开放而多层次的立体院落。礼堂、会议中心则依托现有水塘，通过不同标高的平台和连廊，实现了从建筑内部到水岸的无缝连接。这些策略性设置的平台院落，不仅协调了建筑的尺度，更在湿热气候下提供了宜人的过渡与交流空间，成功解决了高密度下的空间舒适度问题。

校园地标塑造与空间序列的终极回应：科研楼与钟塔广场的组合，不仅在校园尽端形成了强有力的对景与地标，更通过基座的层层跌落和连廊的衔接，顺应了自然地形，将校园轴线自然地延伸至远山。中庭广场则以“虚”空间作为核心地景，通过水体和连廊系统整合了图书馆、学生中心与教学楼，形成了三维复合的公共空间网络。这些空间节点的设计，共同回应了如何将自然生态高效植入密集校园的反思，构建了一个序列丰富、互动良好的复合校园系统。

The planning and design of the second phase of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, emphasize the connection between the campus environment and the surrounding landscape, while focusing on the coordination between building clusters and individual structures. The design utilizes staggered massing of varying heights to form open courtyards of different shapes, establishing a campus space that balances humanistic scale with natural ecology. In 2023, the construction of the first phase of the campus was officially completed, presenting a natural scene of local growth. The second phase continues the planning concept of "Mountain, Forest, Courtyard" from the first phase, following the green axis structure developed along the mountain according to the long and narrow base. Four distinct building clusters are formed in the front, middle, and rear sections of the campus space. To cope with the high-density functional requirements of the second phase, the design fully utilizes the three remaining plots around the campus, implanting four compact spatial clusters within the overall loosely extended site. These are: the teaching courtyard to the left of the campus entrance, the auditorium and conference center to the right, the research building and clock tower square at the far end, which together with the completed central atrium square of the first phase, form four key nodal spaces in the linear landscape campus.

香港中文大学（深圳）二期的规划设计，强调校园环境与周边山水的联系，同时注重建筑群组和单体之间的协调。设计通过高低错落的体量组合，形成不同形式的开放院落，建立兼具人文尺度与自然生态的校园空间。2023 年，一期校园建设正式完成，整个校园呈现出在地生长的自然景象。二期延续了一期“山、林、院”的规划构想，顺应狭长形基地依山开展的绿轴架构，在校园空间的前、中、后段，分别形成四组各具特色的建筑群组。为应对二期高密度的功能需求，设计充分利用校园周边剩余的三个地块，在整体松散延展的场地中，植入四个紧凑的空间群组。它们分别是：校门左侧的教学院落、右侧的礼堂和会议中心、尽端的科研楼与钟塔广场，加上一期完成的中庭广场，共同构成线型山水校园中的四个关键节点空间。

Urban Interface and Natural Permeation: A Campus Interwoven with Landscape

In the first phase planning, CUHK-Shenzhen aimed to maintain the visual continuity of the green mountains within the long and narrow campus by arranging the main teaching volumes in a continuous sequence of long, linear spaces along the southeast side, away from the mountains. This strategy not only shaped a clear urban interface but also allowed the natural landscape on the northwest side to fully unfold towards the campus. Public buildings on campus—such as the library, student center, administration building, conference center, and Shaw College—are spread out along the mountains as independent volumes, like "pavilions." The continuous mountains penetrate the visual corridors between the buildings, drawing mountain views, water bodies, and natural ecology into the campus green axis. The second phase further reinforces the spatial connections between clusters on this basis, forming a campus texture with well-distributed density. The design uses the trees and lawns in the green axis as a framework, extending four building clusters, and organizes scattered courtyards into compact groups with the help of corridors, plazas, water bodies, and platforms. To meet the development density requirements while creating an equally comfortable user experience, the building clusters adopted a three-tiered height strategy: low, medium, and high. While constructing three-dimensional composite courtyards, the design utilizes platform courtyards at different elevations, achieving "mountain viewing and water proximity" through framing, steps, and corridors, making the natural landscape an integral part of the campus space.

城市界面与自然渗透：一座山水交织的校园

在一期规划中，港中大（深圳）为保持狭长校园内绿色山体的视觉延续性，将主要的教学体量以长条型的序列空间形式，布置在远离山体的东南侧，形成连续的教学楼院落。这一策略不仅塑造了清楚的城市界面，也让西北侧的自然山水完整地向校园展开。校园中的公共建筑 —— 如图书馆、学生中心、行政楼、会议中心与逸夫书院 —— 则以独立体量如“亭子”（pavilion）一般沿着山体展开。连绵的山体透过建筑之间的视觉通廊，将山景、水体与自然生态引入校园绿轴。二期在此基础上，进一步强化群组之间的空间联系，形成疏密有致的校园肌理。设计以绿轴中的林木、草地为骨架，延伸出四个建筑群组，并借助连廊、广场、水体与平台，将松散院落组织成紧凑群组。为应对开发密度需求，营造出同样舒适的使用体验，建筑群采用了低、中、高三种层高策略。在构建三维复合院落的同时，设计利用不同标高的平台院落，以框景、台阶、连廊等方式实现“观山近水”，让自然山水成为校园空间的一部分。

Teaching Clusters: Open Enclosure, Floating Interlacement

The teaching building courtyard cluster is enclosed by four buildings arranged in a pinwheel square layout, with alternating high and low volumes creating a multi-layered, interconnected, and open three-dimensional courtyard that connects the entrance campus space and defines the landmark at the street corner. The high-rise and multi-story volumes change orientation alternately to coordinate different functions and the surrounding mountain landscape, connecting the campus entrance with the first phase buildings. By elevating the volumes at the street corner, an open "floating box" and entrance steps are formed. The "floating box," besides being a landmark facing the city, also acts as a transitional space connecting the campus and the city along with the large steps. The elevation introduces mountain views and summer southeast winds from outside the campus, providing shaded and ventilated activity areas for students. The teaching building courtyard cluster is located to the left of the campus entrance plaza, forming a dynamic balance on either side of the school gate axis with the conference center cluster on the right. The courtyard features two ground levels at different elevations, connecting the external vehicle ring road and the central campus green axis, opening up to public space. Overall, the pinwheel arrangement of two high and two low volumes in the teaching cluster, combined with materials such as wood, green bricks, and ceramic panels, modulates the spatial scales of multi-story classrooms and high-rise offices, forming a three-dimensional courtyard that is open, enclosed, and multi-layered. Through strategic elevations of 6 meters and 12 meters, the courtyard is set with corridor platforms of different heights, which, combined with the gaps between the building volumes, provide resting and communication spaces for students. These platforms also connect the teaching courtyard of CUHK-Shenzhen's first phase with the auditorium and conference center cluster on the opposite side via the campus corridor system. Under the background of high-density development, it successfully creates a well-proportioned, interconnected, and human-scaled three-dimensional courtyard space.

教学组团：开放围合，悬浮交错

教学楼院落组团由四栋建筑以风车型方院布局围合而成，两高两低的体量交错布置，既衔接入口校园空间，又界定了街角的标志性，形成开放而多层联系的立体院落。高层和多层体量交替变换朝向，以协调不同的功能与周边山体景观，连接校园入口和一期建筑，并通过在街角抬升体量，形成开放的“悬浮盒子”与入口台阶。“悬浮盒子”不仅是校园面向城市的标志建筑，同时也与大台阶共同成为连接校园与城市的过渡空间。抬高的处理，引入校外的山景自然与夏季东南风，为学生提供通风遮阳的活动场所。教学楼院落组团位于校园入口广场左侧，与右侧的会议中心组团，形成校门轴线两侧的动态均衡。院落内设有两个不同标高的地面层，分别连接校园外侧车道环线与校园中心绿轴，向公共空间打开。整体上，教学楼组团两高两低的风车型体量，以木材、青砖、陶板等材料搭配，调控了多层教室与高层办公两种的空间尺度，形成兼具开放、围合、多层联系的立体院落。通过 6 米与 12 米两个策略高程，院落设置了不同层高的廊道平台，结合建筑的体量间隙，为学生提供休憩交流的场所。这些平台也通过校园连廊系统，连接港中大（深圳）一期的教学院落与对侧的礼堂与会议中心组团。在高密度开发背景下，成功营造出高低有致，上下连通、尺度宜人的立体合院空间。

Auditorium and Conference Center: Built by Water, Platforms for Viewing

The auditorium and conference center volumes are arranged utilizing the retained natural pond at the campus corner as a turning point. Starting from the pond, the design connects the entrance plaza with the mountain lake through the framing effect of the auditorium gatehouse. Simultaneously, the conference center links various meeting halls and multi-story platforms through a vertical atrium, integrating the pond with the campus space via a lakeside corridor. The auditorium building, located to the right of the school gate, combines L-shaped high and low volumes, using the iconic gatehouse to frame views, connecting the entrance plaza and the surrounding environment. The cylindrical auditorium space forms a visual corridor, with the ground-floor student canteen opening outwards towards the pond. The lobby organizes the main and side entrances and seating areas. Coupled with the triangular skylight, structure, and shading system on the roof, it not only meets the needs of thousands of people for graduation ceremonies but also becomes a three-dimensional public space for daily viewing and activities for students. The corresponding conference center is situated at the pond corner, also adopting an L-shaped volume, accommodating low-rise conference functions and high-rise office/accommodation. The framing corridor at the entrance offers views of the distant mountains and lake, and connects to the ecological pond via steps and the waterside. The high-ceiling atrium main staircase in the hall connects conference spaces on each floor, extending activities to the viewing courtyards on the third and fourth floors, forming strategic low, medium, and high platforms that echo the roof garden. The design integrates the site landscape, preserving the lake, trees, and sightlines to the nearby mountains. Platforms at different elevations face the ecological pond and the framed views of the mountain lake, integrating the green mountain scenery with the campus entrance.

礼堂与会议中心：临水而筑，平台观景

礼堂与会议中心两个建筑体量，利用校园角落保留的自然水塘作为转折点展开布局。设计以水塘为起点，借助礼堂门楼的框景作用，连接校门广场与山体湖泊。同时，会议中心通过竖向中庭串联大小会议厅与多层平台，经由临湖连廊将水塘与校园空间融为一体。礼堂建筑位于校门右侧，以 L 型高低体量组合，利用标志性的门楼框景衔接校门廊道，整合入口广场与周边环境。筒状的礼堂空间形成视觉通廊，底层学生餐厅朝外侧水塘开敞。前厅组织大门和侧门入口及看台空间，配合礼堂顶部的三角形天窗和结构与遮阳系统，不仅满足数千人毕业典礼的使用需求，也成为学生日常观景与活动的立体公共空间。与之呼应的会议中心位于水塘转角，同样采用 L 型体量，容纳低层会议与高层办公住宿功能。入口的框景穿廊，不仅可以眺望远山湖景，而且通过台阶与水岸衔接生态水塘。大厅内挑高的天窗主梯，串联各层会议空间，同时将活动延伸到三、四层的观景院落，形成低、中、高的策略平台，与屋顶花园相呼应。设计融合场地景观，保留了湖泊、树木以及与附近山体的视线通廊。不同标高的平台分别朝向生态水塘与山湖框景，将绿色山景与校园入口连成一体。

Atrium Plaza: Viewing Mountains and Introducing Water, Multi-level Corridors

The atrium plaza, enclosed by the library, student center, and the sequence of teaching courtyards, integrates elevation differences through upper and lower corridors, connecting to the campus second-floor corridor system. It utilizes the space between the library and student center buildings to introduce the natural landscape of the back mountain into the campus via a lotus pond surface. The library and student center on either side of the atrium plaza form a square cloister, creating the core public space of the campus with the sunken atrium plaza. Underground Level 1 passages feature living facilities such as supermarkets and bookstores, connecting the student center and the ground floor of the teaching buildings; the upper corridors and skybridges link different buildings, forming a three-dimensional composite architectural landscape. The atrium plaza itself, as a "void" space, is an actively functioning "landscape architecture." It connects the campus green spaces via stepped plazas and gentle slopes, linking the northern and southern building clusters with lawns, woods, and pools, thus maintaining the continuity of the campus's east-west green axis.

中庭广场：观山引水，多层连廊

由图书馆、学生中心与序列教学院落围合的中庭广场，通过上下层的廊道整合高差，衔接校园二层连廊系统，利用图书馆与学生中心建筑之间的空间，以荷花池水面将后山的自然山水引入校园。中庭广场两侧的图书馆与学生中心形成方型回廊，与下沉的中庭广场形成校园的核心公共空间。地下一层通道设置超市、书店等生活设施，连接学生中心和教学楼底层；上部连廊和天桥则联系不同建筑，成为三维复合的建筑景观体。中庭广场本身作为“虚”空间，却是功能活跃的“地景”建筑，经由台阶广场与缓坡联系校园绿地，以草地、树林与水池联系南北建筑群，维系校园东西向绿轴的连续性。

Research Building and Clock Tower: Layered Topography, Plazas as Landmarks

The research building, composed of two sets of parallel high and low volumes, turns and unfolds to face the mountain views and the campus. Its base steps down according to the topography, connecting to the clock tower square via corridors to form an opposing view at the end of the campus axis. The parallel volumes face the back mountain and the city respectively, integrating into one entity facing the campus through their turns. The gaps between the volumes and the long garden platforms are staggered, guiding central air convection and connecting to the mountain behind. The research building has a semi-enclosed L-shaped courtyard plan. The interior atrium combines horizontal exhibition halls and vertical lobbies to introduce daylight, and utilizes rising steps to guide people to the outdoor platforms for distant mountain views, serving as a place for exchange, discussion, and rest for scientific research experiments. Located on the campus terrace, the research building follows the natural terrain, connecting to the clock tower square at the bottom of the campus axis via layered platforms, corridors, and mountain paths. The clock tower employs a dense eave design to create a visual impression of ascending layers, forming the end view of the campus axis along with the plaza steps and lawns, creating a campus landmark of one in front and one behind, one large and one small, in relation to the research building, extending the campus spatial imagination to the distant mountains.

科研楼与钟塔：山势层叠，广场地标

科研楼以两组平行的高低体量，通过转折与展开面对山景与校园，基座顺应地形层层跌落，以连廊连接钟塔广场，形成校园尽端的对景。平行体量分别面对后山与城市，透过体量的转折，合为一体面对校园。体量之间和狭长花园平台高低错落，引导中庭对流并连接背后山体。科研楼的平面呈半围合 L 型院落，室内中庭以水平展厅与竖向大堂组合，引入天光，并利用层层上升的台阶，将人引向室外平台，远望青山，成为科研实验的交流、研讨与休憩场所。位于校园台地上的科研楼，顺应自然地形，经由层层平台、连廊及山径，衔接至校园中轴底端的钟塔广场。钟楼以密檐造型营造层层上升的视觉意象，与广场台阶、草地共同构成校园轴线的端景，与科研楼形成一前一后，一大一小的校园地标，将校园空间想象延伸至远山。

Courtyard Platforms: Connection and Transition for the Campus

Under the compact conditions of high density and small plots in the second phase of CUHK-Shenzhen, the various building clusters use different height combinations—such as pinwheel squares, corner framing, and high-low parallel enclosures—in conjunction with topography, ponds, and mountains to modulate platform courtyards with human-friendly scales. Coupled with the campus's upper and lower ground levels and 6-meter and 12-meter high corridors, the clusters feature transitional platform courtyards at elevations of 12 and 18 meters, connecting to the 24-meter high roof garden. As the floor height density increases, the strategy shifts from planar enclosure to the relationship of sectional platforms. These platform courtyards not only harmonize scale and embrace nature but also serve as crucial media for connecting and transitioning campus spaces. In multi-story campus buildings with high density and large volumes, these platforms become important public and semi-public spaces, providing comfortable shaded, rain-sheltered, ventilated, and illuminated areas in the hot and humid South China climate.

院落平台：校园的连接与过渡

在港中大（深圳）二期高密度、小地块的紧凑条件下，几个建筑组团通过不同的高低组合方式，以风车方院、转角框景、高低平行的围合形式，结合地形、水塘与山体，调控尺度宜人的平台院落。配合校园上下两层地面以及 6 米、12 米高的连廊，各组团在 12 米与 18 米的标高上设置了过渡性的平台院落，联系 24 米高的屋顶花园。随着层高密度的增加，平面围合的合院，转化为剖面平台关系的策略。这些平台院落，不仅协调尺度、包容自然，更成为连接与过渡校园空间的重要媒介。在高密度、大体量的多层校园建筑中，它们成为重要的公共与半公共空间，并在湿热的华南气候中，提供遮荫、避雨、通风与采光的舒适场所。

The design of CUHK-Shenzhen campus reflects upon the approach adopted by many large campuses that rely on axes, functions, and zoning to employ multi-story or high-rise building types, exploring how spatial strategies like enclosure, connection, and gaps can be utilized to introduce natural ecology into dense urban-rural campuses. The design of the second phase focuses on the connections between building clusters, using tree-lined lawns and plazas as the framework, and organizing loose courtyards into interconnected building groups with the help of corridors, water bodies, and platforms. The design further integrates natural landscapes into multi-level campus spaces, establishing a three-dimensional, richly sequenced composite campus system that initiates a virtuous interaction between architecture, landscape, and urban space.

港中大（深圳）校园的设计，反思了许多大型校园依赖轴线、功能、分区而采用多层或高层建筑类型的做法，探讨如何利用围合、连接、间隙等空间策略，将自然生态引入密集的城乡校园之中。二期的设计着重建筑群组之间的联系，以林荫草地、广场为架构，借助连廊、水体与平台将松散的院落组织成相互联系的建筑群组。设计进一步将自然山水融入多层级的校园空间，建立起三维立体、序列丰富的复合校园系统，开启建筑、景观与城市空间的良性互动。
