引子机缘巧合,2013年我们得到了第一次在乡村做项目的机会。项目是位于河南信阳大别山里的一个小村子,名为“西河”。顾名思义,这个村子有一条河叫西河;而村庄本身不大,户籍人口只有380余人,当然现在常住人口只有不到100人。如同中国的大部分留守村庄一样,这里一方面具有较为完好的自然环境、农业景观,但另一方面,村庄属于半停滞状态,没有支柱产业,缺少活力……在我们去之前这里甚至没有手机信号。我们的设计是对一座20世纪50年代的粮库进行改造。 By chance, in 2013 we got the first chance to do a project in the countryside. Project is located in Xinyang, Henan Daba Mountains in a small village, called “West River ”. As its name implies, this village has a river called the West River; and the village itself is not large, only 380 people registered population, of course, now the resident population is less than 100 people. Like most of China’s left-behind villages, on the one hand it has a relatively intact natural environment and agricultural landscape. On the other hand, the village belongs to a semi-stagnant state with no pillar industries and lack of vitality. There is not even a cell phone signal before we went there . Our design is to transform a 1950s grain depot.
