Exploration of Village Architecture——Container building

-


    This semester, I went to many villages to observe people's buildings, and I found many interesting houses in the village. For example, the prefabricated house in this article. It is built with many different materials and looks like a messy combination.


    Its connection is not perfectly processed, and the iron sheet is only attached to the insulation material, not connected to the concrete below. The insulation layer is only attached to the iron pillar, and a part of the iron sheet has already fallen off.


    Its overall structure is very strange, with different materials spliced together and seemingly unrelated to each other, making it an unattractive building. But in fact, this is the norm in Chinese rural architecture. There are many workers in rural China who have high mobility and only demand cheap rent for housing. So there are many such container houses in rural China. This type of house is easy to dismantle and move, which is in line with the characteristics of high worker mobility. It has low rent, cheap counterfeiting, and is suitable for large-scale construction. And the material can be recycled. So this type of container style house is very popular in rural China.


    In fact, if there is a choice, everyone hopes to live in a bright and spacious house. However, we still have a long way to go. As an architecture student, I hope to contribute to the construction of rural areas in China. We need to observe and listen more to the needs of the villagers.

Mozuna Kiko and His Grand Architectural Thought

-
Image
     Mozuna Kiko was born in Kushiro, Hokkaido in 1941. The vast fields and starry sky in Kushiro City formed Mozuna Kiko's initial impression of the world. Because of this broad and mysterious atmosphere, Mozuna Kiko has formed an almost infinite grand view in his architectural career. In the 1960s, postmodernism rose and led the trend of thought of liberation worldwide, and then quickly extended to the field of architecture. In the field of architecture, aesthetic diversity broke out, and various architects boldly carried out innovative designs and incorporated various humanistic concepts. In 1965, when postmodernism prevailed, Mozuna Kiko graduated from Kobe University in Japan. Under the influence of post-modernism, Mozuna Kiko formally began his exploration of architectural theory.      After graduation, Mozuna Kiko first stayed at Kobe University as an assistant professor at Mukai Masaya. He founded his own office in 1978 and became a professor at Tama Art University in 1995.

A vent house that isolates the outside world

     When I was conceptualizing my final assignment, I came up with the concept of an outlet room. Recently, students have been under increasing pressure, and I often feel pressure while working in the studio. So I think we need a place to carry our emotions. This place should be filled with plush things. Because I think soft things can help people quickly relax.      I made a model for this, where external questioning or slander is like a shattered glass cover, while the soft fabric isolates these fragments and protects the people in the middle. The clay person in the middle represents different emotions, and all emotions can be expressed in this room.

Tempietto

     Tempietto is a representative building of the Renaissance style designed and built by Donato Bramante. Tempietto was built in memory of St. Peter. When Donato Bramante designed Tempietto, he referred to the style of ancient Roman architecture. Especially columns. The consensus of architects at that time was that different architectural column styles should be used to commemorate different people or gods. Donato Bramante used the Doric order of ancient Rome in order to make the whole building more consistent with the concept of commemorating St. Peter. This also shows that Donato Bramante does not blindly pursue classical style, but combines it with spiritual connotation. This is also a prominent feature of Renaissance architecture.      Donato Bramante emphasizes volume. In Tempietto's plan, he used two geometric patterns of circle and square, which made the whole building full of changes. There is a strong sense of the existence of a circle of columns around the periphery
