The large lantern and the steps
below form the HUB of the space. The
large lantern is made of double-layer
translucent ETFE film, which represents
a contemporary reinterpretation of the
traditional Chinese lantern. The wooden
steps and colour-changing cushions
under the lantern provide a comfortable
place to rest and communicate.
The History Gallery on the first floor
of the atrium starts with the Café Area.
The "Magnetic Wall" above the Historical
Gallery, and the "Tree of Culture &
Values" at the end, represent a combined
display surface and focal point for the
Smart Green Campus.

Learning experience: Exploring the
universe of knowledge
Through the "Magnetic Wall", space
tunnels lead to more than 40 independent
classrooms where participants gather
in small groups of 12 to 24 to engage in
interactive learning activities such as group
cooperation, discussions, and consultations.
The Future Classroom is an
independent space designed for
immersive experiences, and is equipped
with high-end multimedia equipment.
