信阳学院南湖校区依托起伏的地形而建，旨在打造一个融合户外学习环境、休闲空间、雨洪管理与野生动植物栖息地的“活力课堂”。作为 Sasaki 2020年制定的校园总体规划的延申，新南湖校区通过功能性且富有感染力的景观设计，强化以互动和体验式学习为核心的教育使命。校园一期内占地3.7公顷的门户景观已于2025年竣工，后续建设正在持续推进。

Set within rolling terrain, Xinyang University’s (XYU) South Bay Campus is designed as a living classroom that integrates outdoor learning environments and recreational spaces with stormwater management and wildlife habitats. Born out of Sasaki’s 2020 Campus Master Plan, the new South Bay campus amplifies the liberal arts institution’s educational mission, focusing on interactive and experiential learning with a landscape that is both functional and evocative. Phase 1 of this comprehensive plan includes a 9-acre Gateway Landscape, completed in February 2025 with subsequent phases underway.

从设计伊始，团队便与校方紧密合作，共同制定了一个融合学术探索与生态意识的统一愿景。南湖校区门户景观以开放友好的入口形象，彰显学校致力于营造包容可达学习环境的承诺。

From the outset, the design team collaborated closely with the university leadership, faculty, student bodies, and the operations and facilities teams to create a unified vision for a living-learning community that integrates academic pursuits with ecological consciousness. The South Bay Campus Gateway Landscape offers an open and welcoming entrance for all, reflecting the university’s commitment to fostering a more inclusive and accessible learning environment.

扎根生态语境   Rooted in its Ecological Context

生态管理是本次规划的核心，项目致力于保育高地林地、修复湿地生态，强化区域水系功能。设计灵感来源于本地乡土景观，编织出丰富多样的空间体验——从规整的学院广场到生态花草甸，每个区域都承载了独特的美学表达、生态功能与管理策略。多样化的植物群落不仅为本地野生动物提供了栖息地，也为师生全年提供了丰富的自然体验。

Ecological stewardship lies at the heart of the plan, focusing on preserving upland woodlands and restoring wetlands to strengthen the regional watershed. Inspired by the region’s vernacular, the design features a tapestry of spaces— from formal quads to wildflower meadows and even a tea plantation—each with its own aesthetic, ecological purpose, and management strategy. The campus, rich with diverse plant life, supports local wildlife while offering students year-round beauty and engagement.

蜿蜒于起伏地形的步道网络在融入自然基底的同时确保无障碍通行。校园入口处，色彩斑斓的传粉花园生动诠释了学校对生物多样性保护的承诺。

A network of trails, nestled in the rolling topography, ensures universal access while embracing the natural setting. The campus entrance features a vibrant pollinator garden, demonstrating a commitment to local biodiversity.

校园认同感与归属感   Campus Identity and Sense of Place

教学、居住与社交空间在景观中有机交织，激发社区联系与协作精神。门户景观的核心装置——镜面不锈钢铸造的 XYU 标识雕塑，既是艺术焦点，也是学校精神的具象化象征。雕塑坐落于广场与镜面水景之间，镜面映照着不断变化的校园生活，流转的天光云影、摇曳的枝叶与往来的人潮交融成一幅动态画卷。这一引人注目的地标作品，凝练了学校对协作学习与体验式教育的追求，成为校园先锋理念的见证。

Academic, residential, and social spaces are intricately interwoven, fostering living-learning communities that thrive on connection and collaboration. The centerpiece of the gateway, a mirrored sculpture of the XYU logo, serves as both an artistic focal point and a symbol of the university’s ethos. Positioned between the plaza and a gateway pond, the sculpture’s reflective surface captures the ever-changing campus life, merging sky, foliage, and bustling activity into a dynamic visual narrative. This striking installation embodies the institution’s commitment to collaborative learning and experiential education, offering a daily reminder of the university’s forward-thinking mission.

景观设计的一大亮点是梯田式跌水，致敬了当地传统的稻田景观。水系高效地收集并净化来自校园核心区的地表径流，诠释了传统文化与现代生态策略的共融共生。门户广场则结合了当地石材铺装、香樟林与乡土落叶乔木，营造出既适合校园集会，又富有文化韵味的开放场所。可持续性与文化认同感贯穿整个景观设计，广泛使用本地材料不仅降低了碳足迹，也凸显着地域文化基因。

A standout feature is the terraced waterway, an homage to the area’s agricultural heritage. Evoking memories of traditional rice paddies, it efficiently collects and purifies surface runoff from the campus core, exemplifying how historical reverence can harmonize with cutting-edge ecological management. The gateway plaza additionally blends indigenous stonework with a grove of evergreen camphor trees and native deciduous species, creating a versatile venue for campus gatherings. Sustainability and cultural identity are key elements of the landscape, which incorporates locally sourced materials to reduce the carbon footprint and showcase local culture.

生态丰富的校园体验   An Ecologically Rich Campus Experience

南湖校区将地形挑战转化为生态学习的契机，实现了学术探索与环境保护的有机融合。项目保留了高地林地，引入溪谷湿地系统以提升雨洪管理与生物栖息功能。致敬当地传统稻田景观的跌水景观，不仅净化了地表径流，也延续着土地记忆。校园内逾200种植物构筑丰富的生物多样性网络。一系列整体性设计策略不仅实现了生态修复，更塑造了一个独特的学习环境，让自然与学术生活和谐共生。

The campus landscape transforms challenging terrain into a living laboratory, seamlessly blending academic pursuits with environmental stewardship. Key features include preserved upland forests, restored riparian corridors, and a ravine system for wetland habitat and stormwater management. A terraced waterway, echoing traditional rice paddies, honors the region’s agricultural heritage while purifying runoff. The campus boasts a remarkable biodiversity, with over 200 plant species. This holistic approach creates an ecologically rich campus that not only restores the landscape but also fosters a unique learning environment, harmonizing nature with academia.

信阳学院南湖校区一期门户景观不仅仅是一处校园入口，更是一份关于再生性设计的宣言。通过将荒置场地重塑为生机盎然的生态与教育枢纽，项目印证了景观设计可以实现修复生态系统、传承文化记忆与激发学习体验之间实现有机共融的使命。

The gateway landscape at Xinyang University is more than a campus entrance—it is a manifesto for regenerative design. By transforming a degraded site into a thriving ecological and educational hub, the project demonstrates that landscapes can simultaneously restore ecosystems, honor heritage, and inspire learning.
