主要挑戰：設計國際一流的、有活力的可持續學習環境，并彰顯加拿大影響力

昆山加拿大國際學校(CISK)位于江蘇省昆山市科技園，周邊有眾多科技公司，是一個新興的教育社區。 B+H在加拿大和中國的建筑、室內、景觀設計團隊通過協作的方式，共同打造了這所知名的國際學校，這所國際學校也是加拿大教育經驗在昆山地區最好的展示。

新的校區可以容納1800個學生，包含幼兒部、小學部、初中部和高中部），并預留學位450個。一期教學樓為小學部和初中部，包含教室、圖書館、餐廳、體育館和行政樓等。B+H為這座多功能校園的未來規劃中還包括文化演藝中心、圖書館和學生宿舍等。

B+H的設計靈感來自于昆山加拿大國際學校的使命——打造一個“充滿熱情、關懷的學習社區”，為學生提供有著自然、和諧環境的教育旅程。來自全球不同辦公室的設計師們從加拿大優美的自然景觀中汲取靈感：湖泊，山脈、森林、楓葉的色彩、肌理和形狀都被運用在項目中，大家緊密合作，打造了一個室內外風格和諧一致的校園。教學樓外立面采用彩色纖維混凝土板，玻璃和鋁板，為學生和來訪者營造出豐富和溫馨的氛圍。

昆山加拿大國際學校擁有統一和諧的教學設施:寬敞、包容和靈活的空間促進了學習過程中的互動和社區意識，為教育建筑建立了新的設計基準。同時，色彩療法也被設計師運用在設計中，我們選擇在活動區域運用充滿活力的色調來激勵學生，而在教學區采用中性的色彩幫助學生集中注意力。

一期教學樓的建筑形態十分獨特，主要由兩個不同的區域組成：教室、辦公室和體育館呈垂直分布在建筑中心位置；走廊、餐廳、圖書館位于外圍的扇形區域。這樣設計的初衷是盡可能多地為學生和教職工提供休閑的學習和社交空間。 透明材質的運用模糊了室內外的界限，一系列的戶外綠地和庭院也鼓勵社區間的互動交流。

在昆山加拿大國際學校的設計中，安全、健康和可持續發展是我們優先考慮的原則。我們盡可能地使用柔軟和防滑材料來提高建筑的安全性，同時也易于維護。環保材料的運用、自然采光和景觀的結合也提高了教學樓的效率，并增加了學生的參與度。我們還與當地工程顧問公司合作，在節水、節能，室內空氣質量等指標上達到國家二星級綠色建筑設計標準。

Challenge: To design a dynamic and sustainable learning environment of international calibre with a Canadian in fl uence.

Surrounded by high-tech companies, the Canadian International School Kunshan (CISK) is in the Science and Technology Park of Kunshan City, a newly-developed educational district. Through an integrated and collaborative approach, our architecture, landscape and interior design teams in Canada and China worked together to design this international school to serve as a representation of the Canadian educational experience in Kunshan.

The new campus can accommodate up to 1,800 students ranging from kindergarten to middle school, with another 450 vacancies for future use. This fi rst phase includes a primary and middle school with classrooms, a library, cafeteria, gymnasium, and administration areas. B+H planned this multi-phase campus with future provisions for a performing arts centre, library and dormitories.

The design was inspired by our client’s mission statement to provide, “a welcoming, caring and learning school community”, through an educational journey composed of a natural and harmonious environment.Drawing inspiration from the colours and textures of the Canadian landscape and the imagery of lakes, mountains, forests, and the maple leaf, our global team worked together closely to create a cohesive facility from the inside, out. The fa?ade, composed of colorful fi bre-concrete panels, Canadian Douglas- fi r, glass and aluminum, creates a sense of richness and a welcoming atmosphere for students and visitors.

The CISK establishes a new benchmark for design through a unified facility featuring spacious,inclusive, and fl exible spaces that promote interactive learning and a sense of community.Applying principles of colour therapy, vibrant hueswere selected to promote stimulation in active areas while neutral colours were used to encourage concentration in academic spaces.

The unique shape of the building complex is composed of two distinct sections: classrooms, offices and thegymnasium sit in the orthogonal grid of the complex； while corridors, the cafeteria and library are placed at the outer curvilinear edges. The philosophy behind this dynamic plan is to provide as much informal learning and social space as possible for students and staff. A network of outdoor green spaces and courtyards encourage interactions among the community while transparent materials blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces.

We placed safety,wellness, and sustainability as priorities in our design. The use of soft or nonslip materials increases safety and is easily maintained. We sourced eco-friendly materials and incorporated natural daylight and views to increase productivity by keeping students engaged. We also worked with local engineering consultants to achieve water reduction, energy savings, and indoor air quality requirements that exceed China Two Star sustainable standards.
