Entry Description

Vocational high schools require more efficient horizontal and vertical circulation systems due to increased movement between vocational and standard classrooms compared to general high schools. This project departs from traditional campus designs that isolate teaching units within uniform spatial arrangements. It uses a non-orthogonal, mat+courtyard typology, which enables efficient circulation by interlinking diverse programs and promotes cross-disciplinary interaction. Overall, the design aims to create an open city that offers diverse experiences and multi-authored narratives.
