The design is an attempt to open the university to the city, albeit visually and symbolically. By reorganizing the relationship between the campus boundary wall, elevation differences in the topography, and openings and closings in the line of sight, part of the internal verdure of Shanghai Jiao Tong University becomes accessible to the public. At the same time, a garden of social intercourse is formed on both sides. Landscape inside and outside the campus forms a continuum and retains its own sense of domain, allowing the university to have more meaningful interactions with the public realm beyond.
