Dongguan Student Dormitory

The dormitory and canteen cover an area of about 110.000 sqm. The layout is based on an urban concept of a regular twisted structure. The form combines north and south oriented rows with east and west oriented taller buildings. All the way through this basic shape leads a 40m wide axis, which joins the central part with two canteen buildings in on a north-south axis. A variety of streets, lanes, public spaces, gardens and green courtyards form a living urban quarter for about 8.000 students. In addition to the compact shape, a variety of functional elements are applied to the building structure and the facade is a response to extreme southern climate. Elements, such as open corridors, staircases, loggias and ventilated shading panels underline with their design the dynamic space impression.

Our colour lends itself to the general grey appearance of the campus by using seven different fresh colours that refer to the rooms' function and interpret the vivid character of student life in a colourful way.

The constant pressure of low costs and lack of time pushed our practical skills forward in order to realise our ideas. It made the project itself to a challenge with a final result that is hopefully enjoyed by all the students of Dongguan Institute of Technology.
