Abstract
The City University of Hong Kong Outpost Building is part of the master plan of Shenzhen Virtual University Science Park in Nam Shan District. Situated along the north-south axis of the master plan with the relatively calm central garden of the Science Park on the south side, another university building on the west, this research building evolved from the pedestrian movement pattern from various directions. The pedestrian and vehicular traffic are well segregated with the vehicular access confined to the East and pedestrian acccess mainly from the south connecting to the central garden. The tension between the static quality of the central garden and the dynamics of the teaching facilities itself suggest an architecture of gesture and dance.
