Project Description
Different from conventional college campus sculptures, JUXTA-SCAPE is a public installation that aims to enrich campus life and experience.
It is located in the East Middle Hall courtyard of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), Minhang Campus.
Because of the multiple viewing angles in the courtyard, the design team took 150x150x150mm as a module to build a 7.5x2.4x1.2m prototype frame. Then, the frame was divided into four sections: solidness, hollowness, mirror images, and campus scenery, which symbolize the Juxta-scape’s form, the viewing frame, and both dynamic reflection and static moment of college life, respectively.
JUXTA-SCAPE represents a multi-faceted redefinition of campus public space by creating different interactions through viewing, movement, and stillness.
JUXTA-SCAPE, as a node in the campus space, tries to explore a new direction. It juxtaposes different scenarios abstractly and meaningfully, and incorporates human experience.
It is an extension of the campus public space, allowing students, faculty and visitors to re-perceive the public space and cultural connotations of the campus under the guidance of the installation.
