Lower Lao Village, Wama Township, Longyang District, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province. The local government wants to build a collection house to improve and address the housing needs of the village's orphan elders, and to rent out the spare rooms at low prices to families with foster children who are further along the way to school. Leasing fee for the daily maintenance and overhead of the collection house. The local government requires that it be built at low cost and meet the functions of 22 living rooms.

In 2018, in response to the National Poverty Alleviation Policy, Lower Fort Village planned and built a new village. The layout of the new village has changed from a state of random growth to a deliberately planned fan-shaped layout, and the new village's buildings have also been transformed from traditional Turkish houses to modern frame commercial buildings,” A modern, new rural landscape. Located in the eastern corner of the new village, surrounded by the white walls of the new village, Dewa, we intend to take the materials on the spot and continue the local traditional architectural landscape to design an “earth” house to preserve the collective memory of the villagers. In addition, we invited a one-village team to participate in the project as a design cooperation agency.

The construction site is almost rectangular, with a construction area of only 280 square meters, a surface width of 10 meters and a depth of 28 meters. To accommodate 22 rooms, the most efficient way is the layout of the internal corridor; if the building is made of only one floor, the axial width of the single rooms is 2.3 meters, the functional use of space is limited; if the design in three floors is not only expensive, but there is also a certain challenge for the bearing of the retaining walls; the most appropriate strategy is to design two floors, each The size and size of the building is also more suitable for living rooms on floor 11.

The program adopts a construction strategy using local materials, local craftsmen, and local technology. In order to meet the requirements of low-cost construction and to achieve the appearance and comfort of living of an “earth” house, earthen walls should be used as load-bearing walls, not maintenance walls. This requires modernizing and optimizing traditional earthen technologies based on traditional construction wisdom. To improve the strength of the wall according to the local soil particle level, the installation of reinforced concrete girder beams and structural columns on the structure strengthens the overall structure of the rammed earth wall, optimizing the overall performance and earthquake resistance of the rammed wall structure. Second, the masonry construction uses aluminum alloy formwork, machine Reinforced solidification, enhances the evenness and density of the foundation wall. In addition, the concept of intrinsic development is introduced, modern soil skills training for local craftsmen, improves the quality skills of local craftsmen and empowers local craftsmen, thereby increasing their employment opportunities.

In my memory, there was a village gate with a large tree planted in the village, men and women sitting under the big tree, chatting with their parents for a short time. This unique place carries the spiritual life of several generations of villagers. In a nutshell, if the collection house is the epitome of a village, our design principle is to recover this lost collective memory space. Take 3 meters to the inside along the street. The red brick wall, which can not reach the top of the building in the middle, is used to divide the interior and exterior. The red brick wall not only blocks the view, but also acts as a screen for the inner corridor.
