About Tianqingli Residential Stambeni kompleks

Tianqingli Residential je stambeno naselje smješteno na sjevernoj obali rijeke Shangtang u Hangzhouu, Kina. Dizajn primjenjuje arhitekturu u stilu dinastije Song kroz jednostavan moderan jezik, čuvajući prepoznatljivost tradicionalnih oblika. Trideset i dva kućanstva raspoređena su na parceli površine 17.900 četvornih metara. Brojna dvorišta i uličice povezuju domove s okolnim brežuljcima i vodenim površinama, uravnotežujući otvorenost s privatnošću. Sustav zavjesne fasade koji kombinira aluminijsku leguru i drvo podupire tradicionalan izgled uz kontrolu troškova i vremena gradnje.

Research: Since the Song Dynasty, JIE-DRAWING (to draw with a ruler and to obtain the clear boundary) had become a technique of Chinese painting. Compared with other kinds of painting, it requires to accurately and carefully reproduce the painted objects. Therefore, JIE-DRAWING has scientifically recorded the ancient buildings, urban features and living scenes of Song dynasty. Therefore, it is an important way to obtain the basis of design from the Song calligraphy and Song paintings.
Inspiration: This project creates the spatial pattern of multi-sided landscape and multiple courtyards, forming a direct dialogue between architecture and nature. The courtyard presents a natural openness while giving consideration to privacy. The project classifies the courtyards with the traditional Chinese garden landscape borrowing approach, thus the sequence between the private and public courtyards is more variable, which is closer to be in line with the contemporary aesthetic needs.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2018 and finished in October 2021 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
