瀑布边
Beside the waterfall

6月底，我们接到了一个项目，场地在于临安大明山的瀑布边，在一个暴雨的下午，我们去看了场地。 此时正是夏季雷雨最凶的时候，场地近临主景观的瀑布，在此处站着甚至能感受到水滴的飞溅。 虽然眼前的场地在当天露出最“狰狞”的一面，与之前晴天拍摄的照片仿佛是两个地方，但是也给了我们最好的一个参照，在暴雨时，水位会在哪个位置，水流会向哪里走。
At the end of June, we received a project located in Lin’an Daming Mountain,Hangzhou, China, near a waterfall. We visited the site on an afternoon during a rainstorm, which coincided with the peak of the summer thunderstorm season. The site was in close proximity to the main landscape of the waterfall, allowing us to experience the splashing of water droplets firsthand. Although the site appeared particularly “unappealing” that day, resembling a different location compared to the photographs taken on a sunny day, it provided us with valuable insights regarding the potential water levels during a rainstorm and the direction of water flow.

在这个离自然如此近的场地，我们希望他是一个开放的建筑，甚至可以说是一个“亭子”，将飞溅的水花、风、满眼的绿色，毫无遮挡的收纳进来，在这个最原始的想法的引导下，我们联想到了“伞”的结构，顶部有覆盖物能遮挡大雨，四周围又是开放的“肋条”支撑起的整个“伞骨”，能接纳自然。 在这样的思路下，我们设计了这样一个用樟子松木条，能快速搭建的建筑。
Given the site’s proximity to nature, we envisioned it as an open building, or even a “pavilion,” that would seamlessly incorporate the splashing water, wind, and surrounding greenery without any obstruction. Guided by this fundamental concept, we drew inspiration from the structure of an umbrella. This design features a top cover for protection against heavy rain, with open “ribs” to support the entire “umbrella frame,” allowing for an intimate connection with nature. With this vision in mind, we designed a building that could be rapidly constructed using pinewood strips.

▲结构生成
Structure Creation
- 直径8M的场地
4.8-meter-diameter site - 升起一条“伞”的肋条
Ribs rising as an “umbrella - 圆形阵列，形成12条肋条
Circular array of 12 ribs - 在不同垂直高度上水平伸出“手臂”，作为置物架、操作台、座椅，面层铺设桦木板
The “arms” extend horizontally at varying vertical heights to function as shelves, workstations, and seating areas, with the surfaces finished with birch boards. - 中间设置取餐台
A pick-up table in the center - 张拉的绳子局部消减拉向中心的力
The tensioned rope partially reduces the force pulling towards the center. - 底部衍生出可以躺的网
A net is created at the bottom for lying down. - 顶部覆盖半透的阳光板，向心留孔，排放雨水
The top is covered with semi-transparent solar panels with holes toward the center to drain rainwater.

落座其中，所见皆是绿色，人们自由地瞭望风景，内和外的界限在此时不是那么清晰，是在自然里，也是在建筑里。
When seated in the building, your view is entirely dominated by greenery, allowing for an unobstructed gaze over the surrounding landscape. At this moment, the boundary between the interior and the exterior becomes indistinct, creating a seamless experience that places you both in nature and within the building.

“dd” refers to “stacked.” Layers of stones are scattered throughout the mountains, while the transparent roof is suspended within nature, overlapping with the branches of trees, green leaves, and stone walls.
整个屋顶结构呈一个向内倾的“漏斗”形，这个造型也是为了将雨水引向中心的圆形缺口，我们设想一个场景，在雨天，雨水从屋顶的圆洞落入，最后灌溉圆形平面中心的蓬勃的植物。
The entire roof structure is designed in the shape of an inward-tilting “funnel,” specifically engineered to channel rainwater toward the circular opening at the center. We envision a scenario where rainwater pours through the circular aperture on a rainy day, subsequently irrigating the thriving plants situated in the center of the circular plane.

甲方给到的设计时间和施工时间十分苛刻，为了抓住这个能亲水的季节最好的运营时段，我们大概只有10天的时间进行方案设计，15天的时间进行是采购物料和施工。
The timeline for design and construction, as stipulated by the client, was very stringent. To make the most of the optimal operating hours during this water-friendly season, we were allocated only 10 days for the design phase and 15 days for material procurement and construction.
因为场地面积有限，直径4.8M的“伞”几乎撑满了整个场地，我们把构筑物的搭建放到了木工工厂，在工厂试搭建调试后，拆卸，到现场重新组装。 这样的工作流程保证了能在现场用最短的时间快速搭建。
Due to the limited area of the site, the 4.8-meter diameter “umbrella” occupies nearly the entire space. Consequently, we carried out the construction of the structure at a carpentry factory, where we assembled, tested, and dismantled it before transporting it to the site for reassembly. This workflow ensures that the structures can be erected on-site in the shortest possible time.

在这个项目中，我们生产到细枝末节，用日益便捷的3D打印技术在工作室打印一些部件以及景区导视，应用到建筑之中。 也用到了江浙地区手工艺者数捻的竹编技术，试图用颜色的韵律丰富整体的造型。
In this project, we focused on every detail, utilizing increasingly accessible 3D printing technology to directly print certain components and scenic guides in the studio for incorporation into the building. Additionally, we employed the bamboo weaving techniques from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, incorporating multiple twists to enhance the overall shape with a rhythmic interplay of colors.
