Shenyang Architectural University Campus, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China, by the Peking University Graduate School of Landscape Architecture and Turenscape, for the Shenyang Architectural University Campus

This design for a new suburban campus to replace its overburdened urban predecessor had to incorporate a viable agricultural irrigation system that was still in place, a small budget, and a very short design and construction timeframe. The design also seeks to demonstrate how inexpensive and productive agricultural landscape can become usable space as well through careful design and management.

Its major features include a productive campus rice paddy. Not only designed to be a campus with small open platforms, spanning the landscape, the campus is also a completely functional rice paddy, complete with its own system of irrigation. Management and student participation become part of the productive landscape.

The farming processes can potentially become a laboratory for students and the faculty as well. “This will put the students directly in touch with agriculture,” said the jury. “The biggest stroke is to put test plots in the middle of campus.”
