Meishui School is located in Meishui Village, Dali, Yunnan. As the original school with timber-brick hybrid structure was required to repair and reinforce, there is a need for providing a better school for students. Miss Chan Bik Ha from Hong Kong has then decided to donate for constructing the new education building. The building is located at a new acquisition land outside the campus site. To fit with the site conditions, the building form is a linear one with single pitched roof facing to the South. The North elevation of the building is perceived as tall and large, so that when it is observed together with the existing building block, it provides a rich hierarchy of layering in the campus space.
This school is the third application of the composite light-gauge steel system developed by Prof. Zhu Jingxiang, School of Architecture, CUHK. Compare to Xiasi School and Dazu Study Hall, Meishui School has further development in various aspects: from single floor structure to double floor structure; from flat rectangular building mass with centering plan organization to linear, slender rectangular mass; from double pitched roof to single pitched roof; the randomness of the opening system is further strengthened; for to the site condition, terrain difference, existing campus site and village fabric, they are fully justified as resources in design and well articulated.
