Group 7

Group 7 – Global-Local Future presents a visionary campus concept that serves as an important node in the global network while embracing distinct Hainan characteristics. This innovative design is ready to address both local and global environmental challenges of the future.

Design Concept

The design translates into a galaxy shape as the core, representing infinite time and space, which superbly matches the concept of linking the past and future. The galaxy’s core is a large park with shared facilities for all five campuses. Galaxy lines extend as corridors into the areas of the five university campuses, linking past-centered design in the north with futuristic infrastructures towards the ocean in the south.

Campus Features

Each of the five universities has its own research and lecture facilities, parks at their cores, and common areas. Extensive agricultural grounds allow CAU, WHUT, and SJTU to experiment with the latest technologies. OUC and the tech universities have an offshore platform and harbor for marine laboratories. Each campus also includes dormitory areas with dining and sports facilities, divided by greenery. Mangroves protect the coastline, and the X’s—central park, waterfront area, ocean platform, library buildings with local characteristics, and cutting-edge agricultural research facilities—represent the focal points of the design.
