* * * University College Dublin (UCD), founded in 1854, is one of the largest institutions of higher learning in Ireland, and its high-quality teaching and innovative research are internationally renowned. UCD has more than 24,000 teachers and students, and about 19% of the students come from all over the world. There are about 400 students in China, who are widely distributed in various colleges of the University of Dublin. Most of them are business and law, engineering and science.
At the end of 20 12, the UCD Student Center designed by Fitzgerald Kavanagh opened in belfield Park, University College Dublin. This center has become a new center of school sports, social and academic life. This project will be the largest single project in the original master plan and the first project funded by students.
The student center covers an area of 1. 1 10,000 square meters, including a 50-meter swimming pool, a debate hall, a gymnasium, a three-dimensional cinema, a performance theater and a broadcasting room, setting a new benchmark for Irish university architecture. The overpass in the new building connects the existing sports center with the old student center. Together, these three buildings become a mixed sports and leisure facility suitable for everyone.

Songhua River Road 14 -37 is located in the campus of South China University of Technology. It used to be the residential area of professors from the old Sun Yat-sen University, and now it has been listed as a historical protection building. Within the complete block, there are six 1 story-sloping roof villas built in the 1960s in the north and four two-story single-family villas built in the 1970s in the south. Due to years of disrepair, the buildings in the whole block are dilapidated, and some buildings have become dangerous buildings. In order to better protect and utilize these historic buildings and improve the quality of campus environment in this area, we have gradually transformed this dilapidated historical block into an architect's studio with unique Lingnan regional characteristics through three gradual transformations since 2004.
In the overall layout, we comb the texture of the block, remove some temporary structures that were added out of order in the past, and obtain a relatively complete historical spatial structure; Moderately increase more buildings and establish the necessary spatial connection between independent buildings; New functional modules are embedded in the key position of the external space, so as to divide and enclose the garden space. The garden is the core of the whole building complex. We establish the order of the site through the concept of gardening, and integrate isolated single buildings into the whole garden space. Architecture and landscape are closely combined and integrated.
In the renewal of architectural functions, according to the needs of architects' studios, we divide functional rooms into three functional modules, namely, the basic module with office functional space as the main function, the enjoyment module with communication and discussion function as the main function, and the auxiliary module with auxiliary service function as the main function. Through the combination of functional modules, we can organize the use of space, so as to obtain a practical space that can meet the needs of new functions and stimulate innovation vitality.
In the relationship with the surrounding communities, the alleys and corridors between the original buildings are preserved, so that the restrained garden space and the surrounding environment form a continuous, mutual infiltration and mutual communication between the internal and external space, which not only improves the natural ventilation environment of the community, but also organically integrates the buildings into the community, achieving the driving effect of improving the quality of the surrounding environment and stimulating the vitality of the community.
In the process of construction, we should try our best to recycle the building materials such as bricks and wood of the original building, and use environmental protection materials such as ecological wood, breathable square bricks, vegetation bricks and Sedum sarmentosum, so as to achieve the purpose of ecological protection under the premise of low cost.

The overall planning of the campus landscape of the University of Minnesota in Deluce and the new science experimental building ***LSB*** is inspired by the concept of "exhibition science". It means: "look" to "understand". Therefore, the design of the building includes an atrium, multiple glass-walled classrooms, and outdoor venues for learning and thinking. The building is surrounded by steel, slate and bricks. It will become one of the three landmark buildings on campus. The science laboratory building is the only way to enter the campus from the south gate of the school. It will play the role of a bridge connecting the main roads of the campus and integrate the new public space with the existing science building. Appropriate transparent design should be added to the indoor and outdoor design, so that people coming and going can understand the function of the building and at least arouse their curiosity.
Landscape architects make full use of the concept of transparency, handle the relationship between indoor and outdoor, and arrange outdoor laboratories in reasonably related areas. The result of this is two outdoor gardens, which become the transition zone between the pedestrian circle and the gathering area of students, teachers and other staff. The upper garden in the design is located in the northwest corner of the building and is a public space. The edge of the garden above will be planted with a row of deciduous trees, a sitting wall and the most striking perforated metal three-dimensional sculpture. These three-dimensional sculptures stand here all the year round and become the visual counterparts of the square.
The landscape designer turned an unusually complex structure into a very simple-looking effect, which made people gasp in admiration. Both gardens were inspired by the forest landscape in northern Deluce. The newly planted trees in the northern part of the forest complement each other with the design of the two gardens, and the building and its outdoor space are integrated into the campus landscape and native plants with the characteristics of northern Minnesota, which implicitly emphasizes that the Deluce campus of the University of Minnesota is a university with a unique style in northern Minnesota. The design of this building won the prize because the landscape architect solved many complicated problems perfectly. From an aesthetic point of view, the design is simple and beautiful, and from a scientific point of view, it is very practical. Campus landscapes with great visual impact were born in the hands of designers, and the concept of transparency also successfully explained the concept of "exhibition science".
