OVERSEAS OASIS

The international student community is a unique environment that integrates students from different countries and cultural backgrounds. Interaction and cooperation within the community are crucial to the study and life of international students. Therefore, we chose "interaction rope" as the theme of the design. The rope represents a symbol of connection and interaction, not only connecting objects, but also representing the connection between people. The bottom of the building adopts an elevated design technique to attract more people to enter the square space on the site and generate interaction and communication. Integrating some European architectural styles and some Asian cultural elements into the internal space and functional settings of the building, the expression of these differentiated elements can better reflect the inclusive design of the building. The base is surrounded by a large number of urban bicycle roads, so the design retains the existing roads on the site and connects them with the urban bicycle roads. An automated climbing ramp is set up inside the building based on the surrounding rising spatial form. Different floor heights and different spatial forms realize the interaction of different scenes. The connected atrium space, open courtyard space, full-height exhibition hall space, interesting staircase space, etc. are conducive to the cross-cultural interaction of international students and eliminate the need for foreign students. The loneliness that comes with being in a foreign country.

The façade design further continues the design concept, with overlapping staggered layers that intertwine to form the space and create a rhythmic effect. The flow of this form not only embodies the expression of function, but also gives the building more inner experience, forming a dynamic space indoors and a flowing facade outside. Light and ventilation play a large role in the quality of the building, and the staggering of open and enclosed spaces greatly affects the way natural light and air are experienced inside the building. The choice of sustainable building materials, the high degree of permeability of the structure, and the design of the facade to maximize light and ventilation reduce the energy consumption of the house.

The gentle combination of the building and the environment brings a variety of visual feelings. With flowing space and empty boundaries, it is a place for international students to integrate, and it is also a platform for communication between surrounding communities and the city. It breaks the closure of the wall and surrounds the rising space prototype, which can create a landscape of flowing communication over time. Allowing more and more international students to interact with local residents.

Considering that the international student community will go through multiple phases and changes in the future, integrate community design and operations with sustainability principles, including energy efficiency, waste management, green buildings and the use of renewable energy. Technology, such as smart home systems, virtual learning environments and online social tools, can be constantly updated and improved to meet the new needs of international students. To accommodate the growing international student population, more accommodation and services can be added. In the future, you can consider expanding similar communities in different geographical locations, using data analysis to monitor community operations, and making continuous improvements based on feedback from international students. This helps better meet their needs to attract more international students and international partners. Overall, the international student community is a dynamic entity that needs to constantly adapt to changing environments and needs. Over time, the community should remain flexible and adaptable to meet the diverse needs of international students.
