Shanghai Culture Planning is honored to undertake the series of projects for the overall improvement of the distinctive cultural environment of Foshan Polytechnic. Faced with the urgent need to integrate and highlight the cultural environment of the new campus, our design aims to go beyond basic landscaping and is committed to creating an immersive cultural education space that deeply embodies the school's spirit, regional characteristics, and the mission of vocational education.
With the college's motto of "Cultivating Morality, Pursuing Knowledge, Developing Skills, and Innovating" as its core, we integrated the rich Lingnan cultural heritage with modern industrial culture, infusing the campus with a unique "Buddhist Vocational College" cultural soul. Within a core renovation area of approximately 18,800 square meters, our design systematically reshaped several key nodes, including the campus entrance area, central axis plaza, flagpole, cultural corridor, and student living areas. Through modern design language, we organically integrated cultural rockeries, themed sculptures, narrative landscape walls, and a smart signage system into the campus environment. This not only solved the problems of the original environment lacking distinctive features and coordination, but also transformed the development strategy of "governing the school with virtue and strengthening the school with talent" into a daily landscape that teachers and students can feel, touch, and participate in.
This project is a prime example of Shanghai Culture's efforts in supporting vocational schools' brand image building, with "shaping the spirit of place" as its core. We delivered not only a series of landscape renovation plans, but also a complete and sustainable system for expressing campus culture. It significantly enhances the college's brand recognition, elevating the campus from a mere teaching space into a spiritual home that cultivates students' character, inspires innovative thinking, and showcases the school's unique characteristics, providing unique environmental support for cultivating high-quality technical and skilled talents for the new era.
