Tsinghua University
Beijing, China

Our panel of architects says natural setting plays a big part in assessing a

campus' beauty. In that regard, this campus is blessed: Founded in 1925,

Tsinghua sits on the former site of the Qing Dynasty's royal gardens. Many of

Beijing's most notable historical sites, like the Summer Palace, are close by.

The campus is peppered with artificial ponds where stone benches and floating

lotus blossoms inspire reflection. The landscaping and many of the buildings

are traditional Chinese, but the campus also boasts many Western-style

edifices, such as the quad and auditorium: T. Chuang, the university's

principal architect, was a 1914 graduate of the University of Illinois at

Urbana-Champaign.

清華大學(xué)

我們的建筑師評(píng)定小組一致認(rèn)為，自然景觀在評(píng)判校園之美中占有很大的比重。在這方面

，水木清華園可謂是得天獨(dú)厚。成立于1925年的清華大學(xué)，是在幾處清朝皇家園林舊址上

修建而成。北京許多著名的歷史遺跡（如，頤和園，圓明園），都離清華校園不遠(yuǎn)。校園

內(nèi)點(diǎn)綴著巧奪天工的人工湖。湖邊的石凳，水面上搖曳的荷花，都讓人心曠神怡，浮想聯(lián)

翩。校園內(nèi)的景觀和許多建筑都具備鮮明的中國傳統(tǒng)特色，不過這所大學(xué)還擁有為數(shù)不少

的西式宏偉建筑，比如老圖書館和大禮堂。清華大學(xué)的一代建筑宗師梁思成，是美國伊利

諾伊大學(xué)香檳分校(UIUC)1914年的畢業(yè)生。
