04 Village in Multiverse

Rustic design from site prototypes

LOCATION:Dimen Village, Guizhou province, China

The context of China's rapid urbanization is a shift and change in urban and rural population and productivity.Because of the changes in productivity and relations of production, an imbalance in the function and space of the village occurs, which may lead to the gradual disappearance of the village, orthe urbanizationof the village.

Village in Multiverse proposes three designs for the future evolution of the village based on two major trends, projecting the traditional symbols and folk memories of the village into the architectural design, and combining the spatial layout with new relations of production and the social structure of the village. The design proposes three possibilities: 1, to transform the village into a productive agricultural space; 2, to explore and integrate the local industrial chain for the stock development of village revitalization; 3, to avoid the backlash of urbanization caused by the expansion of the village and propose an adaptive incremental development,which we choose to explorefurther.

05 Rural Primary School Library

A building designed and built in collaboration with local residents

LOCATION:Dimen Village, Guizhou province, China

In the overall construction process, the relatively harsh cost and relatively inaccessible local conditions constrained the design concept. We worked with the carpenters to design as we built. By researching the local level of construction and craftsmanship, we used timber framing as the primary method of architecture, while taking prototypes from the local wokura architecture.Werespondedtothesurrounding relationshipwith an organic and low-proﬁlegesture.

Prototype architecture:Granary

The structure of the granary is very similar to that of a house, and can be seen as a small dwellingwith onebay andonedeep.

Construction tools

The processing of small wooden work is almost mechanized, and modern tools such as spirit levels and metal triangular rulers have completely replaced traditional measuringtools.

Building material

The materials used come from mountain forests, and generally felled trees need to be left for one or two years to dry before they are suitable for use.

Structure

The pattern of brick houses in the village ranges from one-wall, to one-story brick structure plus wood structure to two-story brick structure to wooden structure,and the wooden structure gradually loses its senseof existence.

Building construction Houses with brickconcrete systems are generally castin-place concrete structures, and brick walls only play the role of maintaining the structure.
