About Tsinghua EE Interior design di un edificio universitario
Tsinghua EE è la ristrutturazione degli interni di un edificio universitario utilizzato da un dipartimento di ingegneria elettronica. L'intervento interessa le aree pubbliche di quattro piani, tra cui la hall d'ingresso, una sala espositiva dedicata alla storia, spazi per la comunicazione e un salotto per gli ex studenti. Le strutture spaziali esistenti vengono conservate, mentre le pareti chiuse sono aperte per creare un'atmosfera più permeabile. Vetro, legno, acciaio e pannelli in alluminio si combinano con l'illuminazione per evocare un carattere tecnologico. Volumi cubici sono inseriti nell'intero spazio per ospitare esposizioni, accoglienza, seminari, momenti di relax e studio silenzioso.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The space renovation takes "energy transmission" as the design concept. The "energy" comes from the history, culture, technology and information of the Department, and its carriers are spaces, images and interactive interfaces. The design strategy is to open the closed, negative surfaces in the space, and retain the existing spatial structures while subtly inserting "E cubes" throughout the space to accommodate varied functions such as exhibition, reception, seminar, resting and solitude.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The existing building has an L-shaped layout on each floor, with a curved area in the middle as the public activity space and office rooms in the two wings. The project has mainly renovated the public space on 1F, 2F, 5F and 6F, to offer functions including department identity display, reception and communication, seminar and salon, department history exhibition, and technology exhibition, etc. The total area of this renovation project is 1,767 sqm.

- Production Technology
- 3 boxes made by blue glass are inserted into the entrance lobby serving as a reception space, a faculty wall and a mobile exhibition area. The designers transformed the original form of columns and ceilings, and utilized aluminum plates and lighting to create a sense of technology. The team also reorganized the layout on 6F, and created the narratives through space and interactive installations. Glass, wood and steel are mixed to communicate the temperament of sci-tech research institutes.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was how to show humanistic care, historical repository and the spirit of scientific research through space renovation, so as to further influence users' behaviors. Another challenge was to ensure the normal operation of teaching and research activities during construction. Therefore, the designers maintained the existing spatial structures while subtly inserting "cubes" throughout the space. Besides, the COVID-19 pandemic also slowed down the construction progress.
- Research
- The project is intended to convey the Department's inclusive educational philosophy, its exploring spirit in scientific research and its profound history through space. Based on Environment-Behavior Studies, the designers opened the original walls to create an open working and visiting experience and inserted "cubes" of various functions to deliver care to groups and individuals. As a result, the faculty and students can work in an open atmosphere and engage with the history of the Department.
- Inspiration
- The building is an iconic landmark in Tsinghua University. Built in 2011, it has a gross floor area of over 30,000 sqm, serving teaching and research spaces for the Department of Electronic Engineering. The building has been used for over a decade. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Department, a renovation project was launched to renew its space to better showcase the culture and spirit of the Department and its educational philosophy.
- Project Duration
- The project started in November 2020 and finished in July 2022.
Project location: Tsinghua Electronic Engineering Building, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China - Operation Flow
- Materials and images are used to highlight a technological atmosphere in the lobby. The curved area on 5F is for exchanges and encounters between faculty and students. It is designed with various functions and is equipped with flexible furniture pieces to meet different needs. 6F consists of areas for exhibition and alumni salon. Through space renovation, interactive installations and visual design, it exhibits the Department's long history and its spirit in sci-tech innovation.
