Chinese people always pay special attention to the “house”
.
How much flat the house is, how much it has gone up, which degrees to take, and how far it is from the subway – careful calculation, like doing math problems
.
Strangely, people’s memory of “home” has little to do with these data
.
When Lu Ming was a child, he lived in the old city of Guangzhou
.
He liked the weekends in early autumn best
.
The dry and cool wind blew into his room
.
“It’s not as muggy as summer
.
The sun was on the quilt
.
I turned over and slept again
.
I felt that day was very long.”
.
“ “Home” is a place where people get along day and night
.
When contemporary people consider price, area and location, they often forget to consider themselves
.
As an architect, Qingshan Zhou Ping can better understand the meaning of “home”
.
Recently, new weekly talked with Japanese architect Aoyama Zhouping
.
The question he discussed with us is very simple
.
Maybe it should have been answered long ago: What is a happy home? Having a house doesn’t mean having a home Nowadays, many young people go out early every day and go back to their place to eat and sleep at night – fast pace or “era of living alone” has become the label of current life
.
They think this house is Qingshan’s, but they can’t
.
House is different from “home”
.
House is a kind of physical existence, and “home” is the feeling of the brain
.
For Castle Peak, “home” is the smell of my mother’s cooking
.
“When I smell this, suddenly my home appears”
.
When I was a child, Castle Peak grew up in a seaside city
.
Now when I smell the smell of sea water, I can wake up the memory of going to the seaside with my family
.
Smell, texture of materials, wind or light, the collection of these various environmental elements, is home
.
On a sunny day, the warm wood fragrance gradually spreads at home/ unsplash Now the virtual economy of the Internet is becoming more and more developed, especially in China
.
Mobile phones can take classes, socialize, take out and so on
.
Many needs in life can be solved through virtual space
.
Born in Qingshan in the 1980s, most of his growing memories are completed in physical space
.
He feels different from today’s young people
.
“ I’m an architect
.
I design physical space
.
I want to emphasize the irreplaceable part of virtual space
.
” Many things on the Internet are visual
.
He wants to do something more textured
.
Castle Peak did
.
In his works, wood, brick and tile and other “ancient and early taste” materials are always integrated into the design
.
Siheyuan B & B designed by Zhou Ping of Qingshan [Youshu] In 2015, Castle Peak transformed the old houses in two hutongs in the TV program, which is very similar to the current popular “small space explosion”, as if people were daydreaming in the concrete forest
.
Castle Peak believes that the biggest problem in China now is that many people are pursuing different things, but the house development is a unified house type“ Now the living needs of ordinary people have been in contradiction with the mode of production of housing
.
” Under this trend, the market of emerging professional “finishers” is bullish, and some people can even achieve the level of 100000 per order
.
They will do thorough space storage, and even help “hoarders” from the psychological level
.
Originally produced in Japan, “duansheli” is not just a functional storage in Castle Peak’s view
.
That actually makes everyone think and judge, “what do you need in your life? Filter the unimportant things and return your life to a more pure and essential state”
.
Behind the space is the inner spiritual demand
.
“ The care of “home” is hidden in the invisible breath Rough or soft touch, smell, sound, light and shade, cold and warm, dry and wet, “home” is a three-dimensional collection of fresh feelings
.
Everything that seems unclear has been concretely interpreted from the magical perspective of architects
.
As a professional space planner, Castle Peak breaks down the troubles of ordinary people into light and ventilation problems
.
Most houses in Japan are wooden structures, single family and transparent
.
The most prominent example is the temple
.
There are almost no walls in the room, which are separated by sliding doors
.
However, it is different in China
.
The sealing performance of high-rise concrete buildings is high
.
Due to the pressure of house prices, it is almost impossible to occupy all four directions at home
.
Japanese houses often have spacious and bright living space/ Graphic insect creativity Seasonal and regional differences lead to “a little more air problems in China than in Japan”
.
The south is humid and muggy in summer, while the north is dry and cold in winter
.
Especially in extreme environmental conditions, people can’t open windows casually, and closed space makes ventilation more difficult
.
For example, the Datian Xiuze Gallery designed by Castle Peak in Shanghai is more like a closed box without too many windows
.
Because we want to display paintings and avoid the interference of natural light, the problem of air depends more on machines
.
Some time ago, the magic dust storm in Beijing gave people the illusion of immigrating to Mars/ Graphic insect creativity Invisible air has attracted much attention because of the epidemic
.
Recently, Yale University has published a study in the virology yearbook to explore the association between humidity and COVID-19 transmission
.
Immunobiologist Akiko Iwasaki pointed out that cold and dry air will accelerate the movement of virus particles, and mice with relative humidity of 10% – 20% will also reduce their immune ability
.
On the other hand, excessive air humidity or poor ventilation conditions are also not conducive to epidemic prevention and control
.
At present, it is the best choice to control the relative humidity at 40% – 60%
.
Since last year, people have paid more attention to air quality and personal health, and the sharing mode also needs to consider safety issues
.
Castle Peak previously built a “400 box sharing community” in Quanzhou, so that young people can only keep a box personal space of 5 square meters, and most of their lives such as eating, entertainment and work are completed in public areas
.
Qingshan Zhou Ping’s design – “the home of the new family”/ Graphic insect creativity All boxes are equipped with small air conditioners, which not only ensure safety, but also take care of everyone’s somatosensory needs
.
Some people want to be warm and some people want to be dry
.
If the house in the past was oriented to all people in a single state, the house in the future should take care of everyone in different attitudes, especially vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly, which is the care given by the city
.
In Osaka, Japan, the elderly can live freely in an accessible space
.
In Japan, with a high degree of aging, the “silver haired” can still cook, clean and travel by themselves, do a lot of things and maintain a high quality of life under social facilities and services
.
In today’s changing population structure, China’s living space should also usher in a similar evolution, “a good living environment can make everyone a peaceful and healthy state”
.
“ Now more and more technologies make everyone’s personality and different needs respected, which is an interesting point of intelligent systems
.
” Castle Peak’s interpretation of technology is more warm: “it’s not what we see in many future movies
.
It’s cool and obvious.” High technology is not necessarily eye-catching, “it may support us behind a comfortable, natural life”
.
“ The new trend of “home”: realizing “air freedom” and returning to the state of nature “ The state in which animals exist in the natural environment is the most comfortable
.
Man is also an animal
.
It is happier to return to nature
.
” Castle Peak often says that cat is his teacher
.
Because cats are very sensitive to the temperature and humidity in the room, they can always find the most suitable place to sleep at different times of the day
.
The cat lies comfortably on the sofa and enjoys the smell of sunshine in the air.
