有 愛 的地方才叫家。

HOME, A PLACE FOR LOVE
 

據調查，中國農村留守兒童約6000萬人，其中14周歲以下的農村留守兒童約4000多萬人。在經濟高速發展的今天，越來越多成年勞動力背井離鄉到城裡打工，而他們的孩子卻留在基礎設施不完善、教育資源匱乏的山村，守著爺爺奶奶、電話、和隔空寄來的玩具度日。留守兒童在成長過程中缺乏父母情感上的的呵護，容易導致對生活和前途缺乏信心和希望。

There are approximately sixty million left-behind children in rural China, according to a survey, and over forty million are under 14. Those children are left-behind in their villages with no sound infrastructure and educational system, their parents have gone to cities to earn money like many other rural migrant workers in cities under today’s high-speed economic development in China. Taking care of grandparents, playing with toys while waiting for phone calls from parents are the only things those children can do. Left-behind children will easily have a lack of confidence and hope in life and future due to the lack of parental emotional support during their growth.

“A LITTLE RED HAT”的構想始於童趣，每一個孩子都該擁有美好的童年。在設計伊始，設計師將“孩子與父母之間缺失的情感交流”作為出發點，營造“我們在同一屋簷下”的團聚氛圍，為河北省帽子山村的留守兒童、老人們建造一個注入情感的“家”，一個具有教育功能的“文化空間”，一個有趣好玩的“童趣園”，而非“新的建築”。

The idea of "A LITTLE RED HAT" starts from the joy of childhood, and we believe that every child is supposed to have a good childhood. At the very beginning of design, the designer do atopic  - “lack of emotional communication between children and their parents” as a main point, in order to create a concept of under one roof is essential to those left-behind children and elders. This project is dedicated to create a “home” with full of love, a “home” with the education function of"cultural space", and a “joyful garden” to those people who live in MAOZI village in HEBEI province, rather to simply build a “new house”.

不僅是一個建築項目，更是送給孩童與老人最珍貴的 禮物

MORE THAN A PROJECT, THIS IS A GIFT TO THOSE LEFT-BEHIND CHILDREN AND THE ELDERS
 

設計採用三角元素代表穩固，環繞式建築佈局寓意外界給予孩童和老人一個溫暖的擁抱。多個三角形體相互交錯，組合形成的折線“走道”迴圈反復，讓閱讀、穿行、嬉戲、休憩、音樂等多種活動在這座“關愛之家”內自由發生。

The main design element is triangle which refers to the stability. The surrounding architectural layout implies a warm embrace from the outside world to children and the elders. The enveloped corridor path formed by those multiple overlapping triangles is dedicated to make reading, walking, playing, relaxing, listening and other activities freely occur in this "loving home".

坡屋頂阻擋風雪，落地窗引入充足的光線，而中庭的出現利於讓空氣對流。由於建築外觀的獨特性，室內空間形成了只有孩子們才可以攀爬到達的一些“角落”，成為了他們的秘密樂園。他們可以在這裡透過大大的落地窗觀察外面的世界，在廣闊的想像天地中翱翔。對於老人們而言，中庭區域和室外走道將成為散步的絕佳選擇。

The purpose of roof slope is to prevent the wind and snow, the sufficient light can be brought into the interior by the window. The existing atrium facilitates the convection of the air. Due to the uniqueness of the architectural appearance, the interior space forms a few "corners" that only children can climb to reach, thus becoming their secret paradise. The outside world can be brought into their eyes through the enormous floor toceiling windows, children here can do brainstorming and meditation and anything rewarding. The atrium and outdoor walkways will be a great choice for walking for the elders.

材料上，建築外立面採用老房子傳統的紅瓦，並結合現代化玻璃、鋼結構，在創新的同時追求材料的原真性。設計中“情感”的交互體現在三個方面：建築與環境，人與建築，人與人三者之間。這將不僅是一個建築項目，更是送給孩童與老人最珍貴的禮物。

In terms of materiality, the facade of the building is the local traditional red tiles, and the building is structured bythe steel skeleton and glass curtain wall, in order to pursue the originalauthenticity of the material while innovating under its own aestheticperspective.The interaction of "emotion" in the design is embodied inthree aspects: architecture and environment, people and architecture, andpeople with people themselves. This will not only be considered as a project,but also a gift to those left-behind children and the elders.

三角元素具有穩定且不規則的特性，建築由多種規格的三角形體圍合而成更具趣味性，希望通過這個擁有獨特造型的尖頂建築物傳遞“牢固”和“被擁抱”之感。

The triangle elements have their own characters of stability and irregularity, the architecture structured by those severalir regular triangular forms, implicitly provide the sense of “stable” and “been cuddled”by caregivers’ perspective, while to increase more funky architectural expression.

河北省平泉縣帽子山村的環境呈現出中國華北地區傳統的鄉村面貌：黃土、坡屋頂、紅磚房。這裡民風淳樸，是少數民族的聚居地。此地區屬於北半球溫帶季風氣候，四季分明。冬季以偏北風為主，夏季以偏南風為主。所以建築東側以玻璃為主，充分的引入光線及春夏溫暖的東南季風。西側以紅瓦為主遮擋強烈的西曬並阻擋冬天凜冽的西北風。

Maozishan village, Pingquan county, Hebei province, it is surrounded by traditional North China rural landscape - loess land, slope-top houses, red-brick houses. The folkway here is simple as it is mainly inhabited by minority nations. This region is a temperate monsoon climate in the northern hemisphere with four distinct seasons. Winter mostly has northerly wind, and summer southerly wind. Therefore, the east side of our building is mainly glass, fully introducing the light and the spring and summer warm southeast monsoon. On the west side, the red tile blocks the strong western sun and the cold northwest wind in winter.

從建築空間與結構上，創新的同時，具有當地的記憶與靈魂，使其與錯落環境相協調，融為一體。

The purpose of this project is to build such innovated space in picturesque disorder with native memories and local culture in the area.

對於留守兒童來說，“團聚”、“住在同一屋簷下”、“大家庭不會被分割開”的感覺很重要，因此每個公共空間內部均無牆體隔斷。建築物內部滿足文化活動室，活動培訓室，圖書館，閱讀室，辦公室六種基本功能。使用者的動線將沿著活動培訓室環繞一圈抵達文化活動室後回到原點，依次迴圈。建築物四周的地面同樣設計了環形走道，令散步的人們能多角度觀賞到不同的建築形態。各立面不同大小的三角形開口，為室內各面創造了不同程度的光照環境，同時為室內圍合出了不同形狀的戶外景色。大自然將為四季分明的山村建築添加更多的情緒與表達。

The feeling of being together and the concept of under one roof are essential to those left-behind children. Therefore, there is no wall to separate the internal spaces in each public area. The basic functional components, the cultural function room, activity & training room, library, study room, office, are all included in this spire constructed building. The majority of the user’s moving circulation will follow the training room around a circle to the cultural activity room and then return to the beginning. People can explore different architectural forms according to different angle of views by walking along the circle path which is adjacent to the building. The varieties of triangular forms carefully divide the space and create room light with different level. Meanwhile，the transparent floor to ceiling window makes the seasonal rural environment integrated to the interior as natural ornamentation.
