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.
Operation Flow: This project combines the traditional residential form and the contemporary construction technology. From the perspective of cost and natural resources, the use of traditional Chinese style curtain wall system mixed with aluminum alloy and wooden structure can perfectly present the beautiful form of traditional buildings, ensures the performance of construction, reasonable cost and construction cycle, it can be widely used in the contemporary practice of traditional Chinese style buildings.
