UniverCity Open Campus in Urban Life
[INFO]
Urban Planning and Architecture
2020, Beijing, China
[DESCRIPTION]
This is a project designed for the 120th anniversary of Tsinghua University when thousands of visitors come to celebrate in a gathering. At present, the campus is welcoming thousands of tourists every day (before covid-19), who admires the university for its reputation in the nation. However, they lack access to a real glimpse of inner life and could only approach to its gate to take photos. Students complain about their life being influenced by outsiders while visitors come and leave with nothing except for their selfies.
What does the university contribute to the city? Should universities take more responsibility for city life? Should the campus be open to the city?
Academic Residents
I just want somewhere to relax and escape from all the pressure of my study!
I would be happy if I could share more with the citizens.
I don’t like those tourists crowding outside the gate bacause they make noises and interfere with my life!
