OPEN Architecture has unveiled the design for a new campus center in the Chinese city of Suzhou. The Shangfeng Academy project, which topped out at the end of April, will be the site of a new K-12 international school and will also act as a cultural hub for the local community. For this.
When the Qingpu Pinghe International School approached founding partners Hu Li and Wenjing Huang to conceive a new campus for 2,000 students aged 3 to 18 years, the architects decided not to follow the city’s “school-as-megastructure” trend.
