Designed and revitalized by NODE Architecture & Urbanism (NODE), Nanqiao Academy stands as a pivotal urban renewal project in Fengxian District, Shanghai. Encompassing a comprehensive building covering 8,700 square meters, alongside an on-campus sports ground for the school, and riverside landscape. The comprehensive building was completed and commissioned in 2021, and the on-campus sports ground and riverside landscape were completed in 2022, ready for operation.

Following its transformation, Nanqiao Academy Comprehensive Building forms an amalgamation of school and communal functions. By employing a methodology resonant of the interlocking “toy blocks,” the structure weaves together various prototype spaces including the library, lecture hall, theater, cafeteria, laboratories, art studios and music chambers, which were once scattered across disparate locations on the original site. These spaces are collaged and stacked into a cohesive “spatial puzzle cube”, giving rise to an array of captivating and innovative places.
