Among 37 successful team candidates in open call, nine were selected to participate in the design competition. The winning team was announced on February 26th.

It is inspired by the Chinese character, reflecting the ambiance of a line of mountain and water. At the same time, this implantation strategy makes it possible to preserve the original landscape: the building floats in the site, detached from the ground like a wide bridge (708 meters long and 120m wide). The functional organization and the conception strategy of the campus is simple and intuitive. It is articulated around two main elements: The “Hyper-Roof” and the “Hyper-Ground”. The first one carries the academic functions of the campus. The access to the roof offers a real parc profitable to all and a spectacular panorama on the distant landscape of the city.

This platform has several large openings that allow the free flow of sunlight, air and water. This floor also links the campus to the urban network surrounding. The location of the accommodations on campus takes the form of three “villages” offering terraced architecture with patios. All of these \”villages\” also inscribed in the topography of the land, with their green roofs, recalls the traditional arrangement of terraced hills.  Image Courtesy © Dominique Perrault Architect
