“AS A PIONEER DEMONSTRATION PROJECT IN JIAN FROM THE DAMING LAKE ERA TO THE YELLOW RIVER ERA. CITY BALCONY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL CARRIES THE MISSION OF INHERITING YELLOW RIVER CULTURE, CREATING AN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION PLATFORM, AND LEADING GREEN AND LOW-CARBON DEVELOPMENT”
Traditional Chinese Academies utilize a strong spatial character: Courtyards, connecting colonnades and cultural icons are seamlessly integrated into the landscape. The academy enjoys an intimate scale and embodies a sequestered tendency.
The campus quad is a common element among elite institutions of learning across the globe, providing comfortable natural settings and gathering spaces framed by buildings, embodying the spirit of openness, collaboration, and communication.
The design of Jinan International School internationally combines the two typologies to promote a hybrid way of learning.
