PHASE 1 CONTEXT THE CURRENT SITUATION OF RURAL DECLINE IN CHINA In today's China, with the rapid progress of population urbanization, a large number of villages are gradually decimating. According to statistics, 200 villages are disappearing every day. Cigui Village is one example of this.

Survey of the current situation of Cigui village Cigui village

Economic status

infrastructure

Cultural conditions

The population is only 37 people, and all of them are elderly people, and the labor force is seriously lacking.

The traditional smallscale peasant economy is still maintained, with decentralized agriculture and logging as the mainstay, the economic situation is not optimistic.

The village's transportation system is still very primitive, showing a tree-like distribution, and there is basically no good public space for the villagers to interact.

The water system is dominated by a small stream. There is no systematic water network and sewer design, and the use is more chaotic.

With a history of more than a thousand years, some cultural relics and historical sites have been preserved. Most of them were former residences.

They suffered severe damage during the Cultural Revolution. There are few leftovers, and they are basically not used and are not well protected.

The first step in our design is to transform the original road network and water system to increase the area of the public space and the accessibility of the road network.

The water system is all that is needed to surround the farmland. Supply to agriculture for minimum cost.

We have used the original important buildings to renovate, giving them new public service functions, and carrying out community renewal activities in the villages, thereby reducing the large cost of new buildings and the destruction of the local environment.

Meet our minimum design principles.

Recognizing the local economic conditions and restrictions, we believe that we should not blindly introduce a large amount of capital for the development of certain industries, but should respect the status quo of lower local productivity, carry out drip-style design, and retain each one to develop its own industry. right.

The stage is the only public space in the area. It has been used as a venue for local opera performances. Its biggest feature is the fully preserved truss system of the late Qing Dynasty, as well as the height difference space, which is especially suitable for use as a gathering and public event.

The village is far from the city and the traffic is very inconvenient.

Most of the original buildings in the village are run down, and a small number of important cultural relics are preserved.

This plane originally used the method of average composition, the stage on one side and the gods and stands on the other side of the turbulent water, which fully reflected the cultural tradition of the local ancestor Jingzong, but not for modern use.

Most buildings are run down, and a small number of important relics are preserved.

The project covers a large area, more buildings, but the function is simple, the vast majority of the buildings are hotels, only to meet the demand for accommodation, and far more than the demand of tourists.

The natural resources surrounding the Great Nine Lakes were not fully utilized and no development was carried out except for the ancient town of Pingqian.

-Solve the problem of diversion of people and vehicles in the only traffic fortress tourist hub

Texture Texture Extraction Scale

1. Reduce the original traffic width of the town and move the main road outward.

2. Set up a convenient parking system and a fast hotel community around the new main road.

3. Cut down the parking system around the secondary road, unify the parking at the end, and slow down the speed to achieve a small impact on the car.

4. Increase the bicycle inside the block and walk the system. Achieve separation of people and vehicles.

Principle 2: Remain and renew

PHASE 4 MASTER PLAN

-Reshape the site without affecting original building and giving more accessibility by improving walkability

Group Courtyard Simple in shape, proficient in heart “One flower, One world, one leaf, one bodhi. ” There are no boundaries, only equality.

Principle 3: Local landscaping protyped from nature

-What is the aboriginal life in Dajiu Lake village?

Principle 4: Water resillience

Principle 5: Biodiversity and landscape mixture

-Change the river bank from straight and concrete to natural curve

-multifunctional land plot following the typography and situation

Principle 6: Straight to curve in river bank 1,Mark the ordinary hard-boundary river of Ping Qian Ancient Town

2,The typography of RIVERFIST design is guided by the dynamics of the river

3,Where water carves and erodes, subtractive design principles are used to create water remediation ravines and terrace outlooks.

4,Where the river deposits new material, accretive principles of design are used to mold and shape land berms for the new park.
