With the rapid development of China's higher education in recent ten years, there have been a larger and larger number of university students year by year. Many university buildings are too old to meet the current teaching needs, and the old buildings consume a great amount of energy. Despite many disadvantages, completely demolishing and reconstructing the buildings will result in a waste of resources and environmental pollution at a high cost. Thus, it is very imperative to improve the environment of teaching buildings at universities.
Based on the theory of sustainable design, this paper uses the design concept and technical methods of sustainable architecture, clarifies the transformation goal, and puts forward the design strategy of improving the environment in an attempt to address some problems in teaching buildings at universities, such as outdated design concept, the failure of hardware facilities to meet the requirements of modern teaching, low comfort and poor flexibility of classrooms.
This paper specifically includes the following four parts:
The first part involves the first and the second chapters. Firstly, the first chapter puts forward the research background, summarizes the basic concepts and literature, and analyzes the research purpose and significance; The second chapter elaborates on the basic concept of sustainable design in detail.
The second part covers the third and fourth chapters. The third chapter analyzes the current situation of sustainable design of university buildings. Based on theories, this chapter analyzes and compares the teaching building of Ewha Womans University in South Korea and the third teaching building of Tsinghua University in China, and researches the design methods. The fourth chapter summarizes the strategies of improving the environment of higher education teaching buildings according to the case study of China and South Korea.
The third part is the fifth chapter. This chapter selects the No.1 teaching building with the longest history in Nanyang Institute of Technology as the research object and conducts the sustainable design based on the environmental improvement strategy that has been proposed above.
The fourth part is the conclusion. This part concludes the content of the paper, and points out the research shortcomings, and provides a reflection on the environmental improvement of China's existing sustainable architecture.
