Yang Xizong began his career as a landscape designer to become one of the outstanding Chinese modern architects. During the 1930s, China experienced two architectural movements. The first was international modernism and the second was national renaissance or neo-classical. Most Chinese architects worked between these two styles, designing for particular clients. Yang Xizong, however, oversaw the conceptual design and layout of Sun Yat Sen University campus, placing neo- classical and high modern buildings within Chinese landscape aesthetics. The Sun Yat Sen campus remains one of the few examples of successful fusion design fromthe 1930s. In this essay, Huang Yuanzhao walks readers through the Sun Yat Sen University campus, drawing attention to notable design choices, such as the neo- classical arch that marks the entrance to the campus as well as the high modernist design of the Teachers＇ Dormitory. Huang also reminds readers that even when adapting traditional building design concepts such as the ＂compound＂ layout or ＂main entrance＂, Yang Xizong introduced innovations. For example, the main entrance to the neo-classical Department of Electrical Engineering Building was composed of two doors that together formed a ＂pavilion＂ or porch.
