The document discusses the evolution of university campus morphology in China over the past century. It describes the transition from ancient private schools to the establishment of modern universities from 1911 onward, which saw the introduction of designs by foreign architects. From 1949, campuses were influenced by the Soviet model of large, isolated sites. Reforms since 1978 led to rapid expansion and the rise of "university towns." However, campuses now face challenges accommodating technological innovation and demographic changes against a backdrop of urban growth. The author argues for carefully considering campus traditions and functions when implementing reforms.
