乡建的「关系法则」
The “Law of Relations” in Rural Construction

在乡村，建筑的一枝独秀是对土地的不尊重。奉行这一观点的袈蓝建筑在进行田岗村的总体规划和建筑及景观设计时，更倾向于创造和谐荣融的整体场域精神，而非被观看的形式主义的、刻奇的「他者」。

In the Chinese countryside, there has been a trend where an onrush of architectural development has taken place, which in many cases has been to the detriment of the original environment. In acknowledgement of the prevailing situation, SYN Architects has strived to create a more appropriate design method for projects located within rural settings, consciously avoiding an overly formalistic or quirky aesthetic approach – resulting in a design seamlessly integrated into surroundings, evident in the architecture and landscape design of Tiangang Village, as well as its overall planning.

群山环绕、流水潺潺的田岗村，摆在袈蓝建筑眼前的确定性仅有「非基本农田的点位」，面对不确定的功能和建筑关系，「布置哪些建筑与业态，与乡村形成闭环关系」成为设计者所面临的首要议题。

In designing the master plan of Tiangang Village, situated in a bucolic area surrounded by mountains and flowing streams, SYN Architects was faced with creating a set of buildings within a complex agricultural landscape. Faced with open questions regarding proposed architectural relationships, such as “Which buildings and business types should be included?”, the designers decided to prioritize creating a “closed loop relationship” between the village and the immediate countryside.

自外界进入「田岗·知行村」，首先映入眼帘的是田园市集，它与一尊艺术装置共同约束出「乡村入口」的形态，并以现代的、极具冲击性的外观昭示着村落正在进行的颠覆性变革。作为常设或节庆时「赶集」的空间，田园市集接纳着本村、北部山村以及过往的人群，可达性成为其选址的根源所在。

Upon entering Tiangang Zhixing Village, the first thing one notices is the Tiangang Zhixing Market structure. Together with an art installation, it forms the village entrance, providing a modern and impactful presence, indicative of the regenerative changes underway in the area. As a permanent space for “going to market” also available for use by local festivals, the Zhixing Market structure accommodates the local village, the nearby northern mountain village, and passing crowds, with accessibility being the prime consideration in its site location.

与田园市集对河而望的是一座「田园大讲堂」，它更贴近村落，承担村内外信息交互的功能，亦作为「乡村振兴」的重要发声地。再至村内，艺术中心、牌楼和乡村会客厅形成三角关系，围合出大片具有景观性的农田和「大地艺术」的试验场，任天然风景与人为艺术在此自然生成、相得益彰。

Located across the river from the Zhixing Market structure is the Village Lecture Hall, which facilitates the exchange of information both inside and outside the village, and serves as an important symbol of the revitalization of the local area. In the village, the Tiangang Art Center, the Archway, and the Village Living Room form a triangular relationship, enclosing a large area of landscaped farmland and providing a testing ground for Earth Art, where the pre-existing landscape and man-made art are naturally integrated and complement one another.

路的另一侧，「一座农桥」成为离开「田岗·知行村」的出口，它将原始场地中危险的涵洞桥转型成为可运营、可互动、可游玩的「价值之桥」，亦以天外来客般的五光十色与乡村的质朴形成对比，遥想着「城市的光怪陆离」。自桥而出，田园市集成为离村的必经之地，游览动线由此完成闭环。

Across the road, the “Agricultural Bridge” becomes the exit from Tiangang Zhixing Village, which transforms the dangerous former culvert bridge into a functional, interactive, and playful “Bridge of Value”. Contrasted with the rustic simplicity of the countryside, the richly colored bridge recalls the variegated sensations of a city, or perhaps an alien visitor from the sky. Thus when leaving Tiangang Village via the bridge, the concept of an integration of urban and rural values is embodied as one must pass through it to exit the village, and the tour route completes the closed loop.

袈蓝建筑用一条「最美乡村路」串联起田岗艺术中心、乡村会客厅、田园市集和田园大讲堂在内的各功能空间，并见缝插针地置入艺术家驻留的选点，用艺术与景观构筑出人与场域的丰富的关系，让一切「形式」归拢于「温暖、亲密、传承」等情感体验。

SYN Architects has employed the concept of a “scenic rural road” to connect various programmed spaces including the Tiangang Art Center, Village Living Room, Zhixing Market structure, and Lecture Hall, along with a number of artist residences located at selected points along it. By doing so, a rich relationship between the inhabitants of the village, visitors, and the landscape is established and sets the groundwork for affecting experiences of warmth, intimacy, and cultural tradition.

田园市集
Zhixing Market Structure

「一笔而成」
A “One Brush Stroke” 

基于田园市集的选址和功能，建筑师希望它能够具有「包容性」，即，具备容纳和溢出的便捷性、创造内与外的相对关系。具体而言，市集由朝向村落的圆弧一笔而成，临河处形成「外市集」，与檐下的「内市集」互为补充，丰富了使用形态。与外部道路背行的弧形亦作为一种「安全信号」，提醒人们与车道保持一定距离。

▼设计生成，design generation ©袈蓝建筑

Based on the location and function of the Market structure, the architect hopes that it will contribute to an inclusive flow of use – that by conveniently containing and facilitating circulation, it will create a relative relationship between inside and outside. The Market structure’s form is derived from a single ‘brush stroke’: the shape of a circular arc facing the village, with an “outer market” being formed near the river, providing additional program opportunities from the form of the arc, and complementing the “inner market” under the eaves. The arc also acts as a “safety signal” as it faces outwards towards the adjacent road, reminding people to keep a safe distance from the lane.

田园市集整体由环柱削切而来，以一道屋脊连接两个曲面，一端与地面相接，另一端则留出亲近外部的空隙，其倾斜的形态能够避免积雪、减轻屋面荷载。钢架和拉索支撑起羽翼般遮风避雨的灰空间，均匀分布的柱体随着屋面的高低形成空间秩序的细微变化，颇具韵律，实现美学与功能的合二为一。

The Market structure’s undulating form has been created from ‘cutting’ a wedge from a curved block, with the two curved surfaces connected by a ridge at the top. One end meets the ground, while the other end is left with slight a gap close to the ground, the roof twisting to accommodate the change in incline. The resulting shape prevents the accumulation of snow and reduces the roof load. A steel frame and cables support the feather-light structure, providing shelter from the wind and rain. Evenly distributed columns create subtle spatial modulations and rhythms as they adjust to the height of the roof, a visually striking integration of aesthetics and function.

这座亭阁状建筑体与周边的自然草木相互渗透，所用的材料亦源于自然：顶部，木屋瓦作为乡建的常用材质，奠定建筑「质朴」的基调；中部，麦秸杆压成的板材不经粉饰，与钢结构系统共同暴露，竹制的吊灯悬于其下，回应田园的温润；底部，木制的市集摆台可依循功能灵活布置，或散或合、或高或低，融于场地和场景。

The pavilion-shaped building is permeated with the surrounding natural vegetation, with materials derived from nature: its wooden roof tiles are the same as those commonly used in rural construction, and set the tone of the building’s rustic character; the wooden cladding boards are unpainted and exposed together with the steel structural system. A bamboo chandelier is suspended within the space, echoing the warmth of the countryside; and finally, the timber market tables can be flexibly arranged as needed, separately or combined, in order to be fully integrated into the venue on any particular occasion.

激发乡村的内生力
Activating the Inherent Strengths of the Countryside

建筑的尽头，一方原生态的石质盥洗池满足着市集参与者的用水需求，它以粗糙的质感将乡野气息呈现于观者眼前。作为「被迫的聚集地」，盥洗池以多人取水的情景促发人与人的轻松交流，唤起公社时代「集中水龙头」的记忆。

At the end of the building, an original stone reservoir meets the water needs of market users. As a natural place of gathering, the reservoir provides a place of easy communication as multiple people collect water, evoking the memory of the “centralized water tap” in the commune era, and presents an element of rural character and texture to the market’s visitors.

田园市集的功能定位发源于田岗村特有的民俗文化，其运营亦交还当地居民。在自发形成的社群交易活动中，外来客与本地人实现沟通、建立情感与信任，催生出新的、具备自传播性的关系与情绪，将「田岗·知行村」与外部世界连为一体。袈蓝建筑期望未来的田岗·知行村能够借由源源不断的访客和逐渐成形的商业运营模式，激发出乡村的内生力。

The functional orientation of the Market structure is taken from the unique folk culture of Tiangang Village, and this new iteration returns it to the local residents. As spontaneous trade and business activities begin there, visitors and locals communicate, build trust, share emotions, and forge new self-sustaining relationships, connecting Tiangang Zhixing Village with the outside world. SYN Architects expect the project to activate the inherent power of the traditional village, by creating a new flow of visitors, and establishing an organic model for growing its businesses.

田园大讲堂
The Lecture Hall

路易斯·康曾言，「学校起源于一个人在一棵树下对几个人讲述他的领悟，老师不晓得他是老师，那些听他说话的人也不认为自己是学生。这些学生希望他们的儿女，也能听听像他这样的人讲话，于是空间开始兴建，第一所学校于焉而生。」在田岗知行村，一座归属于乡村的「田园大讲堂」正承载着「学校」最原始的含义——它是建造者的宣言，也是自省；它允许「教者」与「被教者」的角色对倒；它理应如「树下空间」般，是一个简单、开放的庇荫所，也能创造出自由和社区的感受。

Renowned architect Louis Kahn once said, “School originated when a man told several people his insights under a tree. The teacher did not know he was a teacher, and those who listened to him did not consider themselves students. These students hoped that their children would also be able listen to the speeches of people like him, so a space was built, and the first school was born.” In Tiangang Zhixing Village, the Village Lecture Hall embodies the meaning of a “school” in its most basic form. It is in some ways a built manifesto of the architect, as well as a form of self-examination – it aims to allow the roles of “teacher” and “student” to be reversed, and is intended to be a simple, open space akin to “shade under a tree”, thereby encouraging a sense of freedom and community.

做好「土壤」
Nourishing the “Soil”

「做好土壤」，这是袈蓝一以贯之的法则，也是其营建田岗·知行村的总纲。「田园大讲堂」临河而建，位于居民生活区和村子的「门户」之间，建筑师将其设定为「讲堂」，希望能借此建立外界与村民的连接，并输出袈蓝在乡村振兴领域经过实践验证的价值观与方法论，让村民看到、感知到新设计与新产业能够带来的新未来，展望乡村自治的可能性。

The metaphor of “Nourishing the Soil” is a consistent principle of SYN Architects, and also serves as the general guideline for the regeneration of Tiangang and Zhixing Village. The Village Lecture Hall has been built along the river and is located between the residential area and “gateway” of the village. The architects programmed it as a lecture hall, hoping to establish a connection between the outside world and the villagers, and in order to communicate the values and knowledge of the village. Also, the proven values and methodology of SYN Architects in previous projects of rural regeneration can be passed on there, allowing villagers to learn about the transformations brought about by fresh designs and new industries, and encouraging them to look forward to a future of rural autonomy.

建筑师以建筑的造型作为隐喻的载体：在田园之上掀起一块草皮，如地毯般卷曲形成建筑，被掀起处暴露出绿植之下的土壤，揭示出「身处田园」的本质。「卷」暴露于外部的一侧以木瓦为主要材料，配合倾斜的屋面，避免风雨的侵蚀；屋顶内侧则覆以木材，并延续至卷曲墙面的内侧及地面，在材料的贴近性中将新形态关联至「旧记忆」，让建筑整体融入村落的自然、朴拙，如从「土壤」中自然生成。

The designer conceived the shape of the Lecture Hall through the metaphorical raising of a quadrangle-shaped piece of turf, and then curling it like a carpet to form the envelope of the building – the raised turf exposes the soil which lies beneath the grass, revealing the core essence of the countryside. The exposed side of the rolled “turf” is clad with wooden shingles, which turns into a sloped roof which necessarily protects the building from wind and rain. The underside of the roof is covered with longitudinal timber cladding and continues down the inner surface of the curved wall to the ground. The intimate, organic nature of the materials connects the striking form of the building to the memory of rural tradition, so that the building as a whole integrates into the atmosphere and simplicity of the village, through the process of its generation from the area’s “soil”.

景观的处理沿用了建筑的造型手法。建筑的背向，木地面贴着场地的边缘，围合出「田园大讲堂」的边界。在「掀起草皮」的过程中，建筑师有意留存了一个圆洞，将一颗树留存。而「被掀起」的屋顶的同样位置，亦有一处圆洞，与其投影面的圆相对，让另一棵树穿透建筑。两棵树的存在一方面将自然的气息融汇于建筑（两棵树、地面和屋顶的一对圆洞共同向访者提示着建筑屋顶是从地面掀起这一理念），另一方面则作为「学校」原型的化身物，暗示人们遥想「讲堂」空间起始时刻的美好。

The landscape design follows the modeling technique of the building. At the rear of the building, a wooden walkway extends along the edge of the site, defining the boundary of the Village Lecture Hall. As a remnant of the process of “lifting the turf”, the architect has intentionally left a round hole and a tree, which corresponds to a circular hole in the same position on the projected surface of the “lifted” roof, allowing another tree to grow up and through it. The existence of the two trees, on the one hand, integrates the natural surroundings into the building (reminding the visitor that the roof of the building has been “lifted” from the ground), and on the other hand, is an embodiment of the “school” archetype, inviting people to contemplate the beginnings of the Lecture Hall.

「田园大讲堂」朝向路面的一侧，袈蓝建筑开启了木与草的「拼图游戏」。木地板与车行道的连通性时时被打断，或折叠为楼梯，或掀起而成座椅、路牌，又或者为树与景观小品留白……旺盛生长的草木蔓过木地板和背侧「被暴露的土壤」，似乎在召唤着田岗·知行村焕发新生。

Where the Village Lecture Hall faces the adjacent road, SYN Architects reveals a “jigsaw puzzle” of wood and grass. The connection between the wooden deck and the roadway is interrupted from time to time, folded into stairs, lifted up to form seats, street signs, or simply left blank for trees and landscaped elements to take root… The vigorous growth of new grass and trees in and around the wooden deck and the rear area of “exposed soil” seems to be summoning Tiangang Zhixing Village to regenerate itself.

悬浮的盒子
A Floating Box

在「掀起」的动作完成之后，整栋建筑一体成形。除弧墙之外，袈蓝建筑以大面积落地玻璃作为其余所有墙面的主材，又在北向和东向入口处以耐候钢门斗突出入口存在。

Once the “lifting” action has been completed, the whole building takes shape. In addition to the curved wall/roof, SYN Architects uses large panels of floor-to-ceiling glass for the other walls, with weathered steel vestibules at the north and east facades to highlight the entrances.

行至室内，袈蓝建筑贴着弧面做了一排条凳，让畸零空间重新具备功能价值。大面积的开放空间允许多样化的会议场景发生，两组吧台的设定则能在大型会议时分散人群，保证茶歇的稳定供应。事实上，整个「田园大讲堂」的建筑体成呈现为透明的玻璃盒子，建筑师在盒中造盒，将卫生间、监控室、设备间等必要配套功能组合于木质的「内盒子」中，又在高度上与建筑的总体高度「保持距离」。如此，一方面能够避免卫生间隔间等小面积空间层高过高带来的不适，也让内盒子与外盒子形成一种悬浮感，轻盈地落于「土壤」之上。

Moving indoors, SYN Architects have integrated a row of custom benches at the curved surface, so that the potentially awkward space regains functional value. Meanwhile, the large open space allows for a wide variety of gatherings, and the placement of two sets of bar counters allows for easy access during large-scale meetings, ensuring the convenience of any future tea breaks. In its entirety, the Village Lecture Hall essentially presents itself as a transparent glass box.

Additionally, the architect has further provided a smaller box within the box, which combines the necessary supporting functions such as restrooms, a monitoring room, and equipment room into the “inner box”, clad in timber panels. In terms of height, it stops short of the overall height of the larger building envelope. In doing so, it avoids the potentially awkward height of a tall ceiling in small spaces such as toilet cubicles, while lending the inner box the appearance of “floating” within the outer box, lightly placed above the “soil”.

在结构柱与屋顶的交接处，袈蓝建筑巧妙围绕柱身于顶部开设凹槽，并将灯带埋入。当灯光开启，柱头与屋顶间泛起光晕，似乎彼此脱离，这种视觉效果于细节处强调了建筑整体的「悬浮感」，让游览「田园大讲堂」之旅惊喜迭出。室内的主体照明采用条状的灯带，它埋入屋顶与弧墙内侧，于室内呼应户外景观的「拼图游戏」。

At the junction of the structural columns and the roof, SYN Architects cleverly opens grooves in the ceiling around the tops of the columns, embedded with strips of recessed light panels. When the lights are on, a halo appears between the tops of the columns and the roof, which seem to be separated from one another. This visual effect emphasizes the overall “suspension” of the building in its details, and adds a surprising element for visitors to the Village Lecture Hall. The main indoor lighting also adopts recessed light strips, which are embedded in the ceiling and the inner side of the curved wall, echoing the “jigsaw puzzle” pattern of the outdoor landscape.

让「乡村振兴」发声
Revitalization of Tiangang Zhixing Village

在城市化的飞速进程之中，人们总是长于依赖「法」而迷失「道」。如今，越来越走向建筑学的乡村则提供了一片淳朴、自然、自足，无需过多规训的纯粹之境。「田园大讲堂」以「揭示本质」作为创作的源起，用弧面和玻璃让「墙」这一隐喻牵制的建筑学元件被柔化甚至消失，让身处其间的人们沉浸于自然的暗示下，自主、自发地开始行动——像是最初聚集于树下而「学校」兴起，袈蓝建筑期待「田园大讲堂」及其中所举办的活动能埋下田岗·知行村「乡村振兴」的火种，星火燎原。

In the rapid process of urbanization, people have tended to rely on theoretical methods of development, often losing sight of the inherent rural values present in sites they build on. Today, the countryside, which is increasingly moving towards architectural development, provides a largely pure environment that is simple, natural, self-sufficient and does not require an influx of new conditions placed on it. The Village Lecture Hall takes the concept of “revealing the essence” as the starting point of its conception, and uses curved surfaces and glass to downplay the architectural element contained by the metaphor of “wall”, rendering it almost invisible so that people experiencing it are simply immersed in its references to nature. In this way, we can start to act autonomously and spontaneously – like gathering under the tree before the first school came into being, SYN Architects expect that the Village Lecture Hall and the activities held within will spark a lively, joyous revitalization of Tiangang Zhixing Village.
