Shenzhen Vocational
Shenzhen Vocational is an education park built on a hilly site in Shenzhen, China. Three schools are combined into one campus and share core facilities through corridors and underground links. The buildings follow the terrain in terraces, which reduces excavation and protects the natural setting. Green roofs, vertical planting systems, permeable paving and bioswales manage rainwater. Photovoltaic glass curtain walls and reservoir fed cooling systems lower energy use. The layout supports shared learning and ecological balance.
Shenzhen Vocational Education Park by MadeMake Architects was recognized as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Shenzhen Vocational Education Park was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Construction and Real Estate Projects Design in 2026. The A' Construction and Real Estate Projects Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design award which celebrates excellent design of residential complexes, commercial buildings, industrial properties, Mixed-Use developments, hospitality establishments, educational facilities, healthcare centers, infrastructure projects and more.
