workshop introduction
Zhong Shun Village is located in Maogong town, Liping
County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province,the northern side of
Maogong town is facing Meng Yan town, the eastern side is facing Bazhai
village, the eastern side is Jiu Chao town, and the southern side is facing Yan
Dong town, Kou Xiang village.
Zhong Shan village is located in the south of Maogong
town, 52 kilometres from Liping County, 10 kilometres from the village of
Maogong, stationed by the town government, mainly through a township road
connection. The village garrison is 510 meters above sea level. There are 294
households in the village, with a total population of 1124 people, 8 villager
groups, and there are 8 natural villages, they are named Gaobie, Gaoheng,
Gaogui, Bianxia, Zhujialing, Pingtao, Zhongshan, Xiashan. The natural villages
are far apart from each other. Zhongshan village is the only village in Magong
town, which is composed of Han nationality, Dong, Miao, Yao, Zhuang and other
ethnic groups. The land area of Zhongshan village is 21.29 square kilometres,
the total area of cultivated land is 1717 mu, and the total area of the woodland
is 18975 mu. The construction area of Zhongshan village is 193 mu, the total
construction area of the village is 69180 square meters, the residential area
of the village is 67680 square meters, and the whole residential area of the
village is 42300 square meters. There are totally 282 residential buildings in
the village, more double eaves, and less Hecang (granary), no Drum tower or
flower bridge. There are more than 10 famous folk craftsmen in the village,
including the music division, the senior carpenter, the Mason and so on.
In the acceleration of urbanization process in Liping
County and the construction of cultural and creative town in Maogong Town, the
relocation policy started in 2014. At present, Zhongshan village has relocated
to more than 160 households in Liping County. Farmers have left the village in
succession, and most of the residential houses are vacant. Although the per
capita cultivated land has been relieved, the stable social organization
structure of Zhongshan village has been seriously damaged, and the public life
of the village is no longer active, and the public space of the village is
increasingly negative.
In order to protect the original farming landscape
culture, inherit traditional folk craft and develop new creative economy, we
can form the social and economic development of Zhongshan village's sustainable
development. The joint plan of the government of Maogong town and the Museum of
the Dimen ecological museum is to introduce the new creative economic factors
and population to the sustainable development of the Zhongshan Village. By
upgrading the vitality of the village economy and culture, restoring the
original social structure of the village, and forming a new village community,
the geopolitical community is transformed into an economic, cultural, social
and ecological community.
This design work in reference to “the guidelines
for the protection and utilization of Chinese traditional villages and rural
buildings” by the State Administration of cultural relics, it is emphasized
that the traditional villages and cultural protection and inheritance should be
strengthened in the renovation and reconstruction. Based on the evaluation of
Zhongshan village environmental capacity and grasping the traditional Dong
dwelling space prototype, in-depth analysis of contemporary traditional
residential adaptability, so as to propose inherit Dong dwellings and fit the
space characteristics of contemporary life style of new village houses.
workshop program
The design should respect the environment of the base
and implement the principle of being applicable, economical and beautiful.
The site
It is essential to follow the design principles
starting from the base environment. The way to create the value of the site
environment is studying the background and requirements of the site
environment, discovering and respecting the characteristics of the site
environment. Specifically, the design should respect the local cultural
environment under the objective of displaying the traditional farming landscape
culture in Dong village, Qiandongnan. Eco-energy-efficient buildings should be
designed according to local climate and infrastructure conditions, reflecting
low energy consumption, low technology and low cost strategy
Application
To fit the necessary work, exhibition, reception,
learning and exchange activities, to provide a safe, comfortable and healthy
work, study and cultural exchange environment for new residents in the new
creative economy, the design should reflect the display of regional culture and
pay attention to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the utilization
of the space inside and outside the building.
Economy
Strict control of construction standards and building
size, pay attention to streamline the economy and to minimize future use and
maintenance costs. According to the local climate and infrastructure
conditions, use as much local materials and local craftsmanship as possible.
Aesthetics
For appropriate embodiment of China's economic and
technological level based on inheritance and excavation of regional cultural
traditions, architectural forms, functions and the environment should be
organic unity.
Requirements for planning and design
- The layout of the planning should be based on the
functional requirements of the overall consideration, organic combination, and
minimize the bulk of the single building or facilities according to the terrain
environment.
- The building should combine as much function as
possible and be much flexibly used.
- In addition to domestic sewage and waste water, the
rest of the drainage shall not enter the village pipe network in line with the
requirements of local municipal planning.
- Proper layout of the village square in order to
organize outdoor activities.
Architectural design requirements
- The building function should be compound and space
be shared, and the streamline is clear, and the relationship between the
building volume and the environment should be handled well. The building forms
and materials are adapted to the local climate.
- To discuss the new technology and method of building
fire protection, heat insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation and so on.
- The design dimension of the building should be in
modularization as possible, in favour of the standardization and integration of
the building parts in the future.
