Shenzhen BASIS International School

The texture of terracotta stretches in the morning light

The building facade of Shenzhen BASIS International School has become a poem tempered by the kiln fire.

The designer used Lingnan terracotta bricks as ink to outline a terrace-like rhythm on the curtain wall.

The hand-kneaded pottery blocks are kiln-turned ocher and beige.

Every crack is a signature of wind and fire, allowing modern buildings to grow patina of time.

The pottery wind chimes hanging down from the eaves turn Chaoshan porcelain inlay craftsmanship into flowing light and shadow.

The terracotta screen that surrounds the courtyard uses hollow geometry to reconstruct the virtual and solid philosophy of the garden.

The building here is no longer a cold container, but a pottery fired in a kiln for thousands of years.
