Shenzhen Futian Hongling Mangrove School is embraced by a dynamic city fabric that located in between the Shenzhen CBD and Hong Kong. To implement a modern learning model, the design provides a plenitude of outdoor learning spaces instead of traditional indoor learning environment. It creates a ‘Futian loop’ that connects the classrooms, recreational spaces and social area as a huge interactive campus through three functional loops, namely ‘Knowledge Loop’, ‘Social Loop’ and ‘Physical Loop’. The integration encourages interaction and outdoor learning to foster an efficient learning process.
