Entry Description

As a result of the city's economic reformation and efforts to
globalize education, Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University was
established as an international world-class university within
Suzhou Industrial Park. The new Administration Information
Building is located adjacent to the two main promenade
axes within the campus. It houses four distinct entities: an
administration centre, a learning and resource centre, a
training centre and a student activities centre. These
functional programs interlocked within this building like a
three dimensional puzzle. Having different roles, these
entities requires separation as well as connection.
Designed as a cubic form penetrated by series of voids
three - dimensionally, the voids perform the functions as
connecting and dividing spaces. The voids bring natural
light into the heart of the building and help occupants
engage with the surrounding through the many open-air
spaces.
