In the south, it is an open lake and landscape, and in the north is the central green space among the main teaching buildings. The building is a compound campus learning center, contains comprehensive functions such as library reading, exhibitions and meetings, research and discussions, student activities, leisure and entertainment, and office assistance. The architecture and interior design fully consider the overall public space structure of the campus planning, emphasize the function positioning of the campus learning center, coordinate the construction cost and operation requirements of the college, to create a campus node with a simple appearance but rich spatial levels, open and innovative functions, to highlight the campus cultural characteristics of the hotel management college.

Design Concept

1. Circle Form in the Center of the Campus for the Maximum View The library is located in the center of the campus in the master plan, on the axis facing the main east entrance, the south side is the open lake view, and the north side is facing the open green space. The building shapes a circular plane volume, to maximize the view of the surrounding beautiful campus environment, the curved interface realize the uniformity of the landscape view and the uniqueness of the overall form. The circular volume is cut along the main axis to emphasize the sense of ceremony of the center.

At the same time, by forming a three-dimensional platforms and ramps at different levels along the axis, the public activities are introduced into the library flows through inside and outside. 2. The Multifunctional Learning Center The contemporary university library is a student-oriented comprehensive learning center, including the diversified functions of reading, communication, research, display and leisure for the new generation of college students and teachers. In the design, the first floor of the building is equipped with public spaces such as lecture halls, bookstores, cafes and exhibition halls that can be serviced to the outside world.

The top floor is mainly for internal use functions such as administrative offices and independent research areas; the 2-3 floors adopt a general and three-dimensional layout mode the reflects openness and mobility. It is flexible combination of different learning activities, such as open-shelf reading, group discussion and personal research. 3. The "Book Mountain" Three-dimensional Public Space Connecting Indoors and Outdoors The center of the circle along the campus axis shapes a cascading outdoor public activity space that connects the inside and the outside, a metaphor for the library theme of "the mountains of books have roads of diligence".

From the campus, you can directly pass through the “Book Mountain” interspersed with ramps, stairs, platforms and green trees, which not only connects the learning spaces on the north and south, but also extends the indoor and outdoor spaces through greening. The experience in the three-dimensional garden space is like a natural climbing. 4. Continuous Retreat Learning Space Layout for the Flexible and Open Use The indoor learning space of the building is mainly an open space formed by the three-story setback.

The east and the west learning space are connected to each other, and the north and the south are connected through the "Book Mountain", forming a free and continuous use experience. The space on each floor under the platform is mainly based on statics, bookstores and independent reading rooms; the open spaces on each floor on the platform can be freely separated and adjusted adapt to the dynamic needs, to improve the efficiency of space use in different times and scenarios. 5. Economical and energy-saving mesh facade skin Due to the adjustment of construction investment, the design needs to complete the curtain wall design of the facade with a relatively limited cost under the condition that the structural frame has been completed.

Finally, the design team selected the modularization façade with the grid format of the unitary square fiber cement exterior wall boards and square windows. The facade form realizes effective shading, comfortable lighting and unique framed scenery in a more economical way. The pure and concise architectural form is integrated with the surrounding green slopes, becoming the focus of the campus landscape.
