Glass Brick Dwelling in Bayi Village / XAUAT

The Original Appearance of The Dwelling. The dwelling is located in Bayi Village, Linwei District, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province. It was originally built around 2000 as a one-story flat-roofed building with a masonry structure with internal beams and structural columns. The safety inspection and identification of the dwelling structure showed that the safety performance of the building met the current code requirements, but due to years of no occupancy, there were problems such as water seepage from the roof, poor indoor ventilation and lighting, and mold on the interior walls. The owner wants to renovate and expand the dwelling, increase the functional units, continue the sloping roof form of the Guanzhong vernacular dwelling, retain the courtyard greenery, and control the construction cost.

Planning: The Iteration of the garden. Located on the northern bank of the ancient canal in Yangzhou, the history of "Zhuxi Jiajing" can be traced back to the Ganga ditch in the Spring and Autumn. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor, built the Shangxing Palace here. During the Tang Dynasty, the site was converted into the Kamigata chanzhi Temple. After the millennium, the site was transformed into a park, renamed "Zhuxi Jiajing", and laid the groundwork for the subsequent design plan. The general plan of the original park was reorganized according to the scale of 'four, three, two, one', in accordance with the landscape technique of gardens: there are four divisions of open space, the central part of which is covered with earth to form a mound, so as to obtain the interest of height and depth. The water body is divided into three parts, giving the park a sparse and spacious appearance. Five new buildings, namely the courtyard, the pavilion, the hall, the house, and the garden, are scattered throughout the park to provide public services, and a pavilion, a bamboo pavilion, and a stone pavilion have been constructed to be hidden among the original eight scenes.
