Hebei Province is a unique case. They are transformed from the original village committee, health station and stage. The design needs to take into account the original architectural form, and the use of materials must respect the original rural buildings. On this premise, new relationships and new connotations are released through new buildings. The renovation of the blue building/
drawing room of the
project fully retains the main building structure of the original village committee. The original village committee is a building with five single-storey arched verandas, sloping roofs and brick walls, which are not obvious in the whole village. The rhythm brought by this repeated arch provides inspiration for architects. Relying on the motif of "arch", the scale of the arch is expanded on the extension line of the northeast side of the original arch, and the connection with it is re-established to form a trumpet-shaped volume, and the roof and wall are dominated by the concrete shell structure. In addition to the enlargement of the original five arches, the architect also recreated an arched volume with the same scale along the wall along the street, forming a square space with the main body of the building and giving it the function of entrance. In terms of
building materials, the whole building mainly uses concrete materials, supplemented by wood, red brick, miscanthus and other architectural or decorative languages that can trigger rural associations. It is worth mentioning that the red brick floor of the first floor just falls on the projection surface of the top arch and arch crevice, so that the existence of light is reflected on the ground; while the top of the second floor uses a whole luminous film to cover the top surface, forming a uniform light environment. In terms of
architectural structure, from the main body of the building to the outside, six groups of arch shells are separated and blended to form a triangular crevice space. Because its profile is high on the outside and low on the inside, it is difficult to drain water and easy to accumulate snow, which is a natural problem of the structure. The architect covers the shell with a row of unilateral triangular skylights, which re-restricts the flow direction of rainwater and facilitates the burial of drainage pipelines. The triangular skylights also introduce light into the interior, emphasizing the existence of arches with the existence of light, and bringing rich light and shadow changes and light and transparent space temperament.
The arch is not only the motif of the new architectural style, but also strengthened and continued in the interior: the wooden arch rib runs through the village history exhibition hall, and becomes the decoration of the coffee space and children's activity area, creating a sense of territory for the card seat, and combining with the bookshelf and other functions. In addition, the architects treated the ground by simulating the projection of light on the arch. Arch has become a consistent element of architecture and interior, forming rhythmic beauty through repetition, which is emphasized again in the form of virtual body.
