About Tongxiang Red 교육 센터
퉁샹 레드(Tongxiang Red)는 자싱 퉁샹의 물의 마을인 수펑촌에 자리한 교육 센터이다. 대지는 1980년대에 지어진 옛 퉁샹 화넝 타워 공장 부지로, 삼면이 물로 둘러싸여 있다. 신축 건물은 기존 공장의 배치 방향과 매스를 그대로 유지하여, 이곳이 주민들에게 친숙한 랜드마크로 남을 수 있도록 했다. 전시홀은 붉은색과 황토색의 곡면 타공 알루미늄 패널로 마감되었으며, 겹겹이 중첩된 구성이 바람에 나부끼는 깃발을 연상시킨다. 내후성 강판으로 만든 게이트웨이는 옛 다리에서 중정으로 이어진다. 센터의 연면적은 6,195제곱미터이다.

- Unique Properties
- The Red Culture Education Center of Tongxiang City is located in Shufeng Village in Tongxiang. The village is located in the far suburbs of the city and its space presents a scattered aggregation along the rural roads and natural water bodies. In 2021, Shufeng Village was successfully selected as one of the first batch of Jiaxing City's rural revitalization demonstration villages. The local government decided to build the Red Culture Education Center of Tongxiang City based on the unique red resources of Shufeng Village, hoping to enhance the public's recognition of the village's past red history through the construction of the center, and at the same time attract tourists and students from surrounding cities to further invigorate the village and deeply promote rural revitalization.
The original factory, as an industrial building from a special historical period, has a huge volume that contrasts sharply with the surrounding residential houses. As a production site, many local residents have worked here. Therefore, both spatially and psychologically, this factory is like an anchor point in the rural landscape, anchoring people's memories to this specific place.
According to the exhibition requirements, the original single-story factory needs to be added to three floors. After fully assessing the cost of structural reinforcement and the construction period, the owner decided to demolish the original factory. To reflect the role of the original factory as a spatial anchor point, the design maintains the original orientation and volume of the factory. Under the premise of meeting the exhibition needs inside, the external volume can still serve as an anchor point for the site space and interact with the place. - Dimensions & Packaging

- The main pedestrian entrance of the venue is located on the southeast side of the site. Visitors can cross the ancient bridge to enter the courtyard. The entrance of the courtyard is an independent door-shaped entrance space made of weathering steel plates. The inwardly inclined metal door opening is like a focusing lens, which can guide people's vision to the red-themed sculpture at the starting point of the outdoor exhibition. The building's facade of the exhibition hall is made of curved perforated aluminum panels in red and ochre colors. Through the interlacing of layers, a spatial effect of fluttering flags is created. The bright-colored and large-sized perforated aluminum panel facade contrasts sharply with the surrounding white walls and grey tiles, allowing the red elements to extend into the inner courtyard. The designer uses a relatively restrained architectural language to abstractly express the red Party building theme of the Party History Museum.
- Design Challenge
- Starting from the architectural phenomenology, Steven Holl proposed how to "anchor" buildings in their sites and how to make buildings carry the past history while connecting to the future？ At the beginning of our design, we considered how to form an anchor point in a loose and open rural space. The original factory, as an industrial building from a special historical period, has a huge volume that contrasts sharply with the surrounding residential houses. As a production site, many local residents have worked here. We fully utilized the historical relics left from the special historical period. To reflect the role of the original factory as a spatial anchor point, the design maintained the original orientation and volume of the factory. Under the premise of meeting the exhibition requirements inside, by activating the functional entities of the building, the external volume can still serve as an anchor point for the site space and interact with the place. This achieves an anchor point both in the spatial sense and the psychological sense. This factory is like an anchor point in the rural field, anchoring people's memories with this specific place.
In different historical periods, rural areas have developed various economic models and political propositions, thus leaving behind diverse rural forms and spatial types. How can we explore a path of coexistence and integration with history in spatial design? Colin Rowe, when contemplating urban structure, proposed the "crisis of the solid" and the "dilemma of texture", pointing out that modern cities lack the ability to enclose space, resulting in negative and lost spaces. Therefore, when facing the spatial forms of rural areas, we present a void square within the solid rural area to achieve a spatial meaning that is inclusive. The village where the site is located has a relatively loose figure-ground relationship. The southeast side features naturally and organically grown residences along the river, while the north side consists of new rural residences with regular forms and unified styles. Various spatial elements are pasted together without any morphological connection. In the design of the building scheme, within the spacious and loose spatial structure around, an attempt is made to create an inwardly enclosed space by utilizing the existing factory space and corridors. To a certain extent, this alleviates the "crisis of the solid" formed by the separation of individual building spaces in this area, and also provides the village with an inward-oriented public space where people can gather. - Research
- The Red Culture Education Center of Tongxiang City is located in Shufeng Village in Tongxiang, a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The local government decided to build the Red Culture Education Center of Tongxiang City based on the unique red resources of Shufeng Village, hoping to enhance the public's recognition of the village's past red history through the construction of the center, and at the same time attract tourists and students from surrounding cities to further invigorate the village and deeply promote rural revitalization.
The site was originally the Tongxiang Huaneng Tower Factory built in the 1980s. There are two casting workshops on the east side of the factory area, which have open spaces and good structural performance. When the project was initially evaluated, it was decided to transform these two workshops into exhibition spaces. At the same time, there are two century-old ginkgo trees on the site, and the site has rich cultural and natural elements, which are important clues for the architectural design of this project.
The original factory, as an industrial building of a special historical period, has a strong contrast with the surrounding residential buildings due to its large size. At the same time, as a production site, many local residents have worked here before. So both spatially and psychologically, this factory is like an anchor point on a rural field, anchoring people's memories to this specific place. According to the exhibition requirements, the original single story factory building needs to be expanded to three floors. After fully evaluating the cost of structural reinforcement and construction period, the owner decided to demolish the original factory building. In order to demonstrate the role of the original factory building as a spatial anchor point, the design maintains the orientation and volume of the original factory building. While meeting the exhibition needs internally, the external volume can still serve as an anchor point for the site space and establish a relationship with the venue.
The current situation of the village where the base is located is relatively loose in the spatial map. The southeast side is composed of naturally organic residential buildings along the river, the north side is composed of new rural residential buildings with regular and unified forms, and the rest of the open space is farmland and corresponding production facilities. There are no related collages of various spatial elements in terms of form. The architectural design aims to create an inward enclosed space by utilizing the existing factory space and connecting corridors in a spacious and loose spatial structure. Partially alleviating the "crisis of entity" caused by the separation of spatial relationships between individual buildings in the area, while also providing a gathering and inward facing public space for rural areas. - Inspiration
- Tongxiang Red Education Center is located in the south of Shufeng Village, a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The village has a dense water network and a superior natural environment. The project site is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is a preserved Qing Dynasty bridge on the water body to the east, which was used for daily walking between the original factory and the village. The site was originally the Tongxiang Huaneng Tower Factory built in the 1980s. There are two casting workshops on the east side of the factory area, which have open spaces and good structural performance. When the project was initially evaluated, it was decided to transform these two workshops into exhibition spaces. At the same time, there are two century-old ginkgo trees on the site, and the site has rich cultural and natural elements, which are important clues for the architectural design of this project.

As a production site, many local residents have worked here. Therefore, both spatially and psychologically, this factory is like an anchor point in the rural landscape, anchoring people's memories to this specific place.
