Shanghai Advanced Research Inst, Chinese Academy of Sciences | Shanghai, China

This elite university campus project by Moore Ruble Yudell Architects & Planners will be located in a prominent 830,269 m2 site in close proximity to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport in Shanghai, China. The four schools (management, information technologies, material sciences, and creative digital arts) complement each other by way of situating the four icons along the central axis. The overlapping and interweaving spatial quality acknowledged within each school form multiple architectural dialogues to frame a wide range of spaces. The glass gallery that spans along the four schools presents itself as a physical connection as well as a symbolic hub to enhance student activities..
