1. 场所与地点 | Place and Site

东乡文化中心位于甘肃省东乡族自治县唐汪镇马巷村。马巷村除南面以外三面被黄河的支流洮河所环绕，虽然位于黄土高原上但是这里相对海拔较低，只有大约1700米左右。这里的地理位置优越，既是信仰穆斯林的东乡族同胞的定居地，也是汉族的传统村落同时由于紧邻藏区，所以这里也有许多藏传佛教的寺庙。虽然马巷村是一个很小的村庄，但它并不简单，这里有着在乡村中特别罕见的丰富多元的历史文化。在马巷村中，既有信仰穆斯林的礼拜寺，也有道观还有源自藏传佛教的吉祥寺。因此新建的文化中心将以何种方式介入到这个多元文化的时空压缩体之中将是建筑师首要面对的问题。

Dongxiang Culture Center is built in Maxiang village, Dongxiang autonomous county, Gansu province, China. On three sides (except for the south side) is the village surrounded by Tao River , a tributary of Yellow River. It is located on the Loess Plateau with an altitude of about 1,700 meters. The village is not only the settlement of Dongxiang people who are Muslims but also a village of the Han people. Due to its close proximity to the Tibetan area, there are also many Tibetan Buddhism temples in the region. Being a small village but full of rich and diverse history and culture, Maxiang is a extremely rare place in countryside with Muslim mosques, a Taoist temple and a Tibetan Buddhism temple. Therefore, how to involve the newly-built culture center in this multi-cultural complexity of space and time is the focus for the architect.

面对如同厚重的沉积岩般堆叠的人文历史，文化中心以一种轻盈的方式被轻轻的置入其中。她没有选择历史的语汇，而是以现代的方式轻装上阵。文化中心将成为地方文化的阅读者而非讲述者。事实上，没有一座建筑能够把如此众多的故事都讲全，因此这是一座倾听的建筑。

当你穿越一路的黄土高原，转过几座大山，被洮河所环绕的马巷村突然映入眼帘，确实如同一片世外桃源。2018年受中国扶贫基金会的委托，车飞老师赴现场踏勘并最终选定现在的位置作为文化中心的选址。文化中心没有选择村子外面的空地而是选择嵌入村子内部的肌理之中。这里曾经是搬迁前的吉祥寺旧址。现状除遗存庙门外已成为一片空地。在基地的东侧不远处是洮河，北侧的不远处则是新建的吉祥寺，西南是高山环抱的马巷村。高山、河谷、黄土高原以及平川构成了项目地点独特的自然环境。

In a context of the human history stacked like thick sedimentary rocks, Dongxiang Culture Center was gently placed into it not with a historic vocabulary but in a modern way. The culture center is supposed to be a reader of local culture rather than a narrator. In fact, no building can tell such numerous stories and it becomes a listening building.

After crossing the Loess Plateau all the way and turning over several mountains, Maxiang Village surrounded by the Tao River suddenly comes into your view, appearing like a paradise. Entrusted by China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation in 2018, Prof. Dr. Che Fei investigated the village and finally suggested to choose the current location as the site of the culture center. It has been decided not to put the culture center in the open space outside the village but to embed it in the fabric of the village. The chosen site was the former site of Jixiang Temple before its relocation. The existing site has become a vacant lot except for the gate left from the former temple. Not far away flowing Tao river in the east, closely in the north standing the newly built Jixiang Temple and the farm houses of one part of the village distributing in the southwest surrounded by far mountains, the project site encompasses an unique natural environment of big mountains, river valleys, Loess Plateau and riveside.

2. 空间与形态 | Space and morphology

马巷村的空间形态大多呈内向性，村落空间被高大厚重的围墙所包围，即便是清真寺或寺庙等公共空间也是被围墙所包围的内向空间。建筑类型大多是平顶的合院式建筑。文化中心被置于村落的中心将创造一个开放与交往的空间，这里在未来将成为旅游者、艺术家、本地村民的共享空间。而文化中心作为一个外向性的公共建筑，其基本概念是将内向性的合院式类型反转为外向性。这样既保留了传统肌理的历史记忆，同时又实现了空间形态的外向性。

The architecture typology of farm houses in Maxiang village is mostly flat roofed 1- or 2-story building with a courtyard in the center fenced by tall and thick walls which makes its spatial form introverted. Even public spaces such as mosques or temples are also inward spaces surrounded by walls. the culture center being built in the center of the village is creating an open and communicative space shared by tourists, artists and local villagers. As an extroverted public building, the concept of the culture center is to reverse the introversion of the local traditional courtyard into an extroversion not only to present the historic memory of the village fabric but also to create the extroversion of the spatial morphology.

文化中心的形式概念源于内外反转的当地合院建筑类型，原先的庭院转化为展厅等功能性空间，而围合建筑则转化为走廊等公共空间。这样的转变使得马巷村的中心出现了一个积极开放的公共空间，这将深远的改变整个村庄的空间形态，并以此为中心将周边的小路转变为街道。相信在不远的将来，民宿或其他服务业也会逐步在周边出现。这也将改变这里以农业生产为主的乡村经济形态。

The architecture concept of the culture center originates from reversing the outside and the inside of the Dongxiang farm-house courtyard. The original courtyard is transformed into functional spaces such as exhibition halls while the enclosed buildings are transformed into public spaces such as corridors, that makes an active and open public building in the center of Maxiang Village. It will profoundly change the spatial morphology of the entire village, becoming a core connecting the rural roads which will gradually transform into streets as a result. It is believed that hotels and other service industries will appear in the surrounding in the near future which will hopefully change the existing only-agriculture-dominated economic situation.

在文化中心的二层，其空间形态再次反转，恢复为合院形态，由连廊组成的展廊空间围合露天庭院，这样在二层参观者将体验到东乡传统合院建筑的空间感受。而文化中心的屋面所呈现出的第五立面也将与周边的建筑融为一体。

On the second floor of the culture center, its spatial form is reversed again and it is restored to an original local courtyard style. The exhibition space composed of connecting corridors surrounds the open-air courtyard through which visitors on the second floor will perceive the spatial experience of Dongxiang traditional courtyard buildings. The fifth façade displayed on the roof of the culture center is also considered to be integrated with the surrounding buildings.
