About Qutan Başlangyç mekdebiniň giňeldilmegi

Gutan Hytaýyň günortasyndaky çet bir obadaky başlangyç mekdebi üçin gurlan iki gatly giňeltme binasydyr. Täze bina 570 inedördül metr meýdanda dört synp otagyny, bir okalga otagyny, iki işjeňlik otagyny we iki mugallymlar otagyny goşýar. Kampusyň gündogar tarapyndaky boş ýer bölegine ýerleşdirilen bu giňeltme, mekdebiň asuda howlusyny daşardaky oba meýdançasyndan bölüp durýar. Ýerli derýa ýataklaryndan ýygnalan çagyl daşlar birinji gatyň daş örüm diwarlaryny emele getirýär. Gündogar we günbatar fasadlaryndaky Gün-goraýjy panjaralar tomus paslynda gün şöhlesini azaldýar.

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.

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.
