Hupan Center, envisioned as a modern Oriental garden, stands on a site bordered by water on three sides. A three-story ring, 160 meters across, encloses the campus, entered via a bridge to a bamboo-lined plaza. Shared spaces face a central lake with broad windows, while offices, study halls, and services occupy the quieter southeast and upper floors. Shaded, naturally ventilated passageways beneath silver roofs span 4,600 square meters, fostering learning and exchange. Bamboo slats, whitewashed walls, and gray tiles evoke traditional Chinese elegance.
