Master Plan and Architectural Design of Yali University in Changsha

Yali University is Murphy's first work since he came to China.

This university is the product of the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, which stimulated the students of Yale University in the United States, because many missionaries who were killed in China that year were Yale alumni. 190 1 year, a group of young students organized a Yale mission in China to preach in China, and sent Lawrence thurston to visit China for two years, and finally chose Changsha, Hunan Province in central China as the base for China's work. Hunan Province was once the most violent province in China that rejected Christianity. 1906, they rented a private house and started Changsha Yali School (a preparatory school at the high school level). 19 14, they formally established Yale China College and began to recruit undergraduates. Yali hired Murphy to plan and design the new campus of Mayuanling outside the north gate.

The school of Yali University hopes that Murphy will build a campus in China that is more like China than the previous missionary universities. Prior to this, the famous Chicago Perkins, Frost and Hamilton (Perkins, Fellows &; Hamilton) architects designed the campus buildings of cheeloo university in Jinan and St. John's University in Shanghai, both of which imitated the broad roofs of China, but neglected the bucket arch structure supporting the huge roof weight. It is still a pity that the Chinese-style big roof is directly erected on the western-style plane. The owners and architects of Yali University hope to make it more realistic, so they use concrete to imitate the wooden columns in China and iron sheets to make the lattice windows in China. Many critics believe that Yali University has made a great breakthrough in architecture facing China. Of course, it also increases the cost and consumes a lot of time.

19 19, yali university moved to the new campus, 1920, the science museum was completed. 1926, Hunan became the center of the anti-imperialist movement in the Great Revolution, and the church was severely impacted. Yali University was forced to close down and merged into Huazhong University in Wuchang on 1929. Yali Campus was transformed into Xiangya Medical College, which is still the first-class medical college in China, enjoying the reputation of "Xiangya in the south and Concord in the north". Now this is a campus of Central South University.

Master Plan and Four Buildings of Tsinghua University in Beijing

Tsinghua University is 19 1 1 a preparatory school to take boxer indemnity back from the United States to study in the United States. The base of the school was originally Tsinghua Campus (commonly known as "Xiao Wu Ye Yuan"), the prince of the Qing Dynasty. 19 16, Murphy was hired to carry out the overall campus planning for Tsinghua, retaining a small number of old buildings (I-shaped halls) and designing four major buildings of the early Tsinghua University: auditorium, science museum, library and gymnasium. This group of buildings all adopt western style, which sets the tone for Tsinghua University's future architectural style. 200 1 Early buildings in Tsinghua University are listed as national key cultural relics protection units with the number of 5-476.

Master Plan and Architecture of Fudan University in Shanghai

At this time, Fudan University, a private school composed of dropouts from the Catholic school Aurora University, bought a piece of land in Jiangwan, a northern suburb of Shanghai, and Murphy presided over the campus design. By the spring of 1922, several unique buildings had been built in the new campus of Fudan University, including the arched gate, the palace-style Zhu Yi Hall and the Tang Hui Hall (now Xianghui Hall). Zhu Yi Concert Hall and Deng Hui Concert Hall are still in use today, and were listed as outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai in 2004. The old school gate has also been repaired.
