About Qutan 초등학교 증축
취탄(Qutan)은 중국 남부의 외딴 마을에 위치한 초등학교의 2층 규모 증축 건물이다. 새 건물은 570제곱미터의 면적 안에 네 개의 교실, 하나의 독서실, 두 개의 활동실, 두 개의 교사 사무실을 더한다. 캠퍼스 동쪽의 공터에 자리한 이 증축동은 고요한 학교 부지와 바깥의 마을 광장을 분리한다. 지역 하천 바닥에서 모은 조약돌이 1층의 조적 벽체를 이룬다. 동쪽과 서쪽 파사드의 차양 격자는 여름철 햇빛을 줄여준다.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The design team embedded the new two-story building on the vacant lot on the east side of the school campus to divide the school space into internal and external parts. By doing so, the quietness inside the school can be ensured, and the Central Small Square outside is turned into an extension and transition of the village's communal space. The corridor running through the middle of the new building forms a circulation route and also shows the application of traditional architectural space form.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Project area: 570 square meters
Type: School - Tags
- School, traditional architectural, cobbles, pitched roof, Qutan Village
- Production Technology
- The newly added building's first-floor walls combined masonry technique and cobbles commonly found in local riverbeds. The wall construction methods inherited local architectural traditions. What's more, to block sunlight in summer and strengthen the comfort of spatial use, sun-shading grilles were installed on the east and west exteriors of the newly added building, and the width of the west corridor was expanded to offer more activity space to children.
- Design Challenge
- Qutan Primary School originally comprised a two-story teaching building in the north and a single-story auxiliary building in the south, with an activity venue in the middle. Since the existing layout blurred the boundary between the school and the village's public space, the school space lacked a sense of belonging. Meanwhile, cars from outside the village often parked at will on the open area where the school's east entrance is located, which brought potential safety hazards.
- Research
- The project is located in Qutan, a remote village in southern China. To improve learning conditions, retain more children to study in local primary school, and avoid the separation between them and their parents, Qutan Village Committee decided to use the funds donated by the society to extend the existing campus of Qutan Primary School by adding a two-story building that accommodates four classrooms, one reading room, two activity rooms, and two teachers' offices.
- Inspiration
- The new architecture learned from the wisdom of local traditional buildings to adapt to the climate, and adopted cobbles, a typical local material of Qutan, to construct masonry walls. The project's completion has expanded the students' learning space, satisfied their need for a nearby school, and created a safer school environment with a sense of belonging. And it has also established an architectural paradigm reflecting Qutan's architectural traditions.
- Project Duration
- Location: Qutan Village, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, China
Design start date: 2021.05
