The Hangzhou Normal University Campus is comprised of a dozen of buildings that have different functions and their own unique architectural designs — one is an irregularly stacked towering structure by local studio WSP Architects.
The firm was tasked with drafting a floorplan for a central building that would provide administrative functions for the college. The capricious composition definitely captures the attention as it is design-forward and effortlessly noticeable in the context of the neighborhood. WSP Architects focused on "a strict modular system" for the university campus that allows the facility to adapt and conduct services with ease. Thanks to the exceptional positioning and aesthetic of the educational establishment, WSP Architects ensured a "reasonable economic cost" and a "higher degree of completion of construction quality."
