-내부로 확장된 기숙사 [ Atelier FCJZ + CAAU ] Maison de la Chine Dorms

Atelier FCJZ + CAAU-Maison de la Chine Dorms

 

이 기숙사의 초기 아이디어는 500명을 수용할 수 있고 문화활동을 할 수 있는 300개의 1인용 기숙사를 마을 개념으로 디자인하는것이였다. 쾌적한 자연 환경에서 생활이 펼쳐질 수 있도록 중앙 안뜰을 중심으로 불규칙하고 개방된 고리 모양으로 기숙사 방을 배치했다. 주변 지역과 건물 옥상은 정원으로 설계되었으며 중앙 안뜰의 계단은 일련의 플랫폼을 연결하여 건물 중앙에 수직적 풍경을 만든다.

건물의 파사드는 소움 공해 문제를 해결하면서 방의 개성을 표현하는 수단이다. 나무 격자는 안뜰 주변의 전체 내부 파사드를 따라 늘어서 있다. 외부 입면의 점토벽돌과 함께 이러한 재료 구성은 건물의 벽돌이 유럽에서 수작업으로 제작되었기 때문에 지역 프로젝트로 남아 있으면서도 건축에 대한 고대 중국의 정의인 흙과 나무를 다시한번 반복한다.

A permanent exposition of architecture - This project is located in the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (CIUP) in the 14th Arrondissement of Paris. The university city was established to provide housing primarily to international students in Paris in 1925 and has now more than 40 dormitory buildings named after different countries. It is well known for its remarkable collection of architecture, such as the ‘Collège Néerlandais’ (The Netherlands College,1926) designed by Willem M. Dudok, the ‘Pavilion Suisse’ (The Pavilion of Switzerland, 1930) by Le Corbusier, the ‘Maison du Brésil’ (Home of Brazil,1954) by Lucio Costa and Le Corbusier, and the ‘Pavilion de L’Iran’ (Pavilion of Iran,1969) by Claude Parent.

 

A long-awaited House of China - In 1930, Chinese architecture student Yu Ping-Lih in France proposed a Maison Chinoise, or Zhongguo Xueshe in Chinese, as his diploma project since the CIUP had allocated a lot to China without charge. In the year before, the Association for the Realization of Maison Chinoise in the Cité Universitaire de Paris was organized by Chinese students from various universities in Paris and published a manifesto pleading with the Chinese government then to fund such an important project but without success. Yu’s drawings are now kept in the archive of Southeast University in Nanjing. Finally, in 2017, a design competition was held to produce a proposal for the House of China with the official name of Fondation de Chine. The scheme of FCJZ x CAAU was selected as the winning entry from a group of five Sino-French teams.

 

Living with the landscape - Fondation de Chine, commonly known as Zhongguo Xueshe or Maison de la Chine, occupies a rather narrow piece of land on the south edge of the CIUP, with a sports field bordering its north and the Boulevard Peripherique (the Ring Road) to its south.

The initial idea for this facility was to compose the 300 single-occupation-dormitories with a 500-person cultural activity hall into a conceptual village and then, to better fit onto the site, simplified to a loop formation, after studying the extended family housing type in Southern China Tu Lou, which means “earth building” in Chinese since it is typically built with rammed earth and has another name of Da Yuan Lou or “big round building”, for its typical circular configuration.

Le Corbusier’s design for the Pavilion Suisse was centered around the concept of healthy living, which we value just as much today. Therefore, with Tu Lou as our main inspiration, we arranged the dormitory rooms in the shape of an irregular, open ring around a central courtyard, in order to allow student life to unfold in a pleasing natural environment. The surrounding area and the rooftop of the building are designed as gardens, while the staircase in the central courtyard further links a series of platforms together, creating a vertical landscape in the heart of the building. After approving our design proposal, the client named poetically the building He Yuan, meaning the Garden of Harmony.

 

Materiality with cultural DNAs - To achieve a distinct genetic connection with Chinese culture in the architecture through construction not through style or image as in Yu’s design in 1930, grey clay bricks are deployed as the main material on the exterior façade; through various brick-laying techniques inspired by the traditional bonds in ancient China including Die Se or cantilevering of bricks, we will be able to achieve porosity, relief in the wall, as well as projected eaves so that to demonstrate details and crafts as expressive architectural forms.

Simultaneously, the undulation on the building facade is a measure to express the individuality of rooms thus their residents while addressing the issue of noise pollution from the Peripherique. A wood grating lines the entire inner façade around the courtyard; together with the clay bricks on the outer facade, such material composition reiterates once more the ancient Chinese definition of architecture as Tu Mu or earth and wood while remaining a local project since the bricks on the building were hand-made in Europe.
