丽拉2020：故乡的云景观设计
LILA 2020: Cloud of Hometown Landscape Design
This project won 2020 Special Mention in Hospitality category
陪审团声明：项目文本谦恭地讲述了团队的目标，即让现场恢复其乡村完整性和当地传统建筑方式，摆脱通常主导的设计技术。然而，当代干预成功地创造了一个强大的独立设计表达，成功地扩大和加强了网站本身的美丽。建筑和植物融合在一起，创造出浓密的大气空间。
From the jury statement: The project text humbly tells of the team’s aim to return the site to its rural integrity and local traditional building ways, away from the usual domination of design techniques. Yet the contemporary intervention succeeds in creating a strong independent design expression which successfully augments and strengthens the beauty of the site itself. The structures and plantings merge in creating densely atmospheric spaces.

Cloud of Hometown is a hotel located in an old village in the chain of Mount Tai. Different from the vitality of the whole mountain range, the village is gradually deserted and decayed for economic backwardness and population migration, and the forests were left with rotten tress and dead branches.
在此基础上，在本次改造设计中，我们探讨了如何在改造过程中坚持“地上建筑”的理念，强调去设计和当地工匠创造的方式，对废弃的山坡和衰败的村庄进行再生。模仿自然植物群落恢复山地植被的方式，将人工景观结构精心融入自然，规划使用最自然、最简单的语言消除设计痕迹。我们希望它看起来像是乡村景观的自然演变，真正融入居民的生活和村庄的历史。
On this basis, in this renovation design we discuss how to adhere to the concept of “building on the ground” in the process, Emphasize on de-designing and the way created by local craftsmen to regenerate abandoned hillsides and declining villages. Imitate the way of natural plant communities to restore mountain vegetation, and man-made landscape structures are carefully integrated into nature, planning to use the most natural and simple language to eliminate the design traces. We hope that it would look like the natural evolution of the rural landscape, and truly integrate into the life of the residents and the history of the village.
首先，我们尊重地形和原始村庄纹理，同时最大限度地保留原始街道纹理和大树，将对场地的破坏降至最低。我们充分利用当地的材料和传统技能，恢复简单的乡村景观，并以现代的方式和独特的视角审视当地文化。
Firstly, we respect the terrain and the original village texture, while keeping the original street texture and big trees to the greatest extent, and reducing the damage of the site to the minimum. We make full use of local materials and traditional skills to restore the simple rural landscape, and examined the local culture in a modern way and a unique perspective.
现场使用的石头、砖头、木材等材料均来自废弃的老房子。它不仅节约了能源和资源，还创造了一个具有独特历史遗迹的景观。我们还邀请当地工匠以古老的手工方式建造，从石板路到台阶再到矮墙。在每一个手工痕迹的景观背后，设计师和当地工匠的丰富经验和见解被结合在一起。
The stone, brick, wood and other materials used in the site are all from the old abandoned house. It not only saves energy and resources, but also creates a landscape with unique historical traces of the site. We also invite the local craftsmen to build it in an ancient handmade way, from the slate road to the steps to the low wall. Behind every landscape with handmade traces, the rich experience and insights of designers and local craftsmen are combined.
该设计通过挡土墙加固土壤，并重新种植本地植物，如红卫一、石楠、狼尾草，确保森林植被和植物多样性，修复稀疏和退化的山地森林环境和场地内部环境。自然生态林地结构更加完整，再现自然景观之美。
The design consolidates the soil through retaining wall, and replants native plants such as Celtis sinensis Persoon, Chinese Photinia, Chinese Pennisetum, which ensures the forest vegetation and plant diversity, repairs the sparse and degraded mountain forest environment and the internal environment of the site. The natural ecological woodland structure is more complete, recreating the beauty of natural landscapes.
在这个追求速度、追求流水线的时代，我们坚持原始信念，强调整座山都要回归本真，摆脱所谓的点、线、面的设计组合，用没有设计感的工匠式建筑激活乡村空间，让它慢慢地经受岁月的洗礼。
In this era of pursuing speed and assembly line, we adhered to the original belief, and emphasized that the whole mountain should return to its original nature, get rid of the so-called design composition of point, line and surface, and activate the rural space with the craftsman like construction without design sense, so that it can slowly undergo the baptism of the years.
