Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Guided by the idea of sustainable development, we balance the impact of ecology, society and economy to enable the project to achieve the maximum ecological, economic, social and cultural benefits in all aspects in the long run. Starting from local culture, the project introduces ecology, urban aesthetic perception and other ideas to build a cultural town with traditional Miao characteristics, forming a spatial pattern of “one belt, two axes, three streets and 24 major travel timing”.
- Inspiration
- The bronze drum, pitched roof framework, cow horn, plant decoration pattern and other elements are extracted from totem, costume and architecture of Miao to form a unique pattern through the interpenetration and mutual integration, which reflects the unique characteristics and profound cultural deposits of Miao.
- Research
- Study and analyze design elements such as spatial layout, structure, materials and decorative colors of traditional buildings in the region by referring to literature concerning Miao ethnic group's history and culture. Survey Research: Compare and investigate in detail the typical traditional villages and residential buildings of Miao people to know well the truest current architectural information. Case Study: Study and analyze the typical traditional villages and residential buildings in depth and in detail.
- Challenge
- Architecture is art and at the same time requires techniques. It is also a paradox incorporating both opportunities and challenges. However, as designers, we need to balance the demands of builders, users, managers and other parties, such as the demands of economic value, social benefit, construction cost, cycle time and artistic value. In the course of designing, innovation in design philosophy and initiative crossover are implemented and major requirements of all parties, industry development, scientific and technological innovation are taken into consideration, so as to find a balance among the stakeholders and precisely create works with both art and techniques integrated.
- Realization and Technology
- 1. Utilize and transform the terrain properly in line with local conditions; maximize the use of terrain to reduce the investment in earthwork projects and preventive works; 2. Adopt the architectural elements with Miao characteristics, and integrate Miao villages’ characteristics of located near mountains into the layout of architecture. The layout of inner streets is featured by yards, forming three characteristic commercial streets to show the charm of Miao culture; 3.
- Operation and Interaction
- This project creates a new landmark of tourism, culture and leisure in Rongshui. The participation of Miao people from surrounding regions into the project makes themselves both residents and workers of the town. They are satisfied materially (employment) and improved spiritually (a deep understanding of their own culture and a broad recognition of the external culture), and are able to give full play to their strengths, create value and maximize their value. Miao people in this region will witness new development, create new cultures, have a new start and embark on a journey in a new era.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in June 2018 and finished in October 2019 in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, Liuzhou. It covers an area of some 210,000 square meters.
- Specifications
- The project contributes to the formation of a spatial pattern of "One Belt (Miao-style riverside landscape belt), Two Axes (Miao's history and culture axis and Miao's leisure life & landscape axis), Three Streets (Folk Custom Old Street, Miao-style Old Street and Miao-style Water Street) and 24 Major Travel Timing". In terms of traffic design, the project takes fully into consideration the pedestrian system separated from the vehicle system. Roadways will be set along with the plots, and ecological pedestrian walks will be set inside. Meanwhile, a slow traffic mode with pedestrian-water cruise ships and three docks will be designed in the city.
