The building is located in the centre of the Peking University (Shenzhen campus) and is used as a science and education laboratory. The function of the space is divided into three parts: the closed space is used as a laboratory, the indoor space is used for learning, and the semi-outdoor space is used for public educational event use. The doors of the building can be opened completely, so that the indoor space and the outdoor space can be integrated as a multi-functional space such as an exhibition space.

The building blends in perfectly with its surroundings, with its white metallic paint and steel frame structure in line with the existing campus buildings. At the same time, the partially transparent roof allows one to look up and see the swaying leaves and natural light, while the curved eaves extend downwards, directing one’s eyes downwards towards the landscape of the natural green area in front of the building.

The form of the building emphasises the sense of technology, raising the ground upwards to create a sense of floating on the grass; the three curved roofs overlap each other and the roofs are supported by triangular steel columns and fixed with steel cables, making the building stable, elegant and full of tension.

In terms of sustainability, the use of multiple roofs, self-opening side windows, and fully openable sliding doors maximise the scope and effect of natural ventilation and connectivity to the outside; the use of transparent, insulated acrylic panels on part of the roof increases the natural lighting surface of the roof; and the use of low-cost, efficient and simple energy technologies, including the use of curved photovoltaic panels on the side of the roof to provide electricity for equipment and lighting; and the use of a low-cost, efficient and simple energy technology, including a low-cost, efficient and simple energy technology. The use of low-cost, efficient and simple energy technologies, such as bendable photovoltaic panels on one side of the roof, allows them to provide the house with electricity for equipment and lighting; the use of steel, aluminium and acrylic panels, in addition to the basic reinforced concrete structure, increases flexibility and recycling opportunities, while at the same time taking into account economy; and the design avoids too much sunlight in the south and west, and the floors are raised upwards, with an eave space, to cope with the humid, high-temperature, rainy and sunny climate of southern China.
