U A D introduces Qiushi Academy, a modern building complex with traditional Chinese architectural form, located in Zijingang Campus of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou City, China.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
U A D proudly presents Qiushi Academy, a remarkable architectural project that seamlessly integrates modern functions and design techniques with traditional Chinese architectural forms. The building complex, situated in the core of the West District of Zijingang Campus, Zhejiang University, is a testament to the fusion of local architectural styles and higher educational constructions.
The project, spanning 8130 square meters, features a multifunctional building with a unique "courtyard-style" layout, connecting the "Qiushi Lecture Hall" and "Xiqian Hall" in an enclosed manner, reminiscent of the historical design. The complex is designed to host small and medium academic talks, conferences, and exhibitions, paying homage to the original Qiushi Academy while catering to modern educational and cultural needs.
The design team, led by U A D, overcame significant challenges in realizing the project, including the innovative use of modern reinforced concrete to replace traditional materials, such as bricks and wood. The incorporation of modern frame and long-span truss structures allowed for the creation of a large lecture hall without columns, while reflective coated glass replaced traditional timber plates under the eaves, introducing more daylight into the interior and creating a fresh visual effect.
U A D's bold approach to architectural form and design has resulted in the successful reproduction of the original Qiushi Academy, preserving its historical significance and embodying the spirit of "seeking truth" for which the academy is renowned.
