Chapter 336: A New Life in an Old Building

When Zhang Tianyuan's car arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw a few people standing outside the courtyard, discussing something there.

Zhang Tianyuan instructed Serlin to park the car in the parking lot, and he walked over.

"Aunt Li, Designer Lin, Boss Tie, you came here so soon, I thought I would have to wait a while. ”

"Xiao Zhang, you are really anxious, you just came back from Los Angeles and you are busy with this, and you don't rest first. Aunt Li said with a smile.

"I'm young, but you, didn't delay anything else?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"I'm just teaching now, it's nothing, you better ask them. ”

"Oh, Brother Zhang, what's the delay for you, even if you stop other work, you have to come over. Tie Ruisheng said very cheerfully.

"Thank you very much, Boss Tie. ”

"I said that I called my brother, why did I change the boss again?"

"Yes, yes, Iron Brother, Iron Brother, hahaha. Zhang Tianyuan walked over with a smile.

After shaking hands with Li Mingguang's wife, Aunt Li, and Tierui Pig Iron's boss, he walked to Lin Chun'e's side and said with a smile: "Designer Lin, we haven't seen each other since we met in Shangpu, how about it, this courtyard is okay, right?"

"Okay, very good, you're a send-off, I'm working on this topic, and I'm very grateful for coming to me. Lin Chun'e said with a smile.

"That's good, this time I'm going to trouble Designer Lin, I don't have many requirements, try to maintain the original courtyard appearance, and then the renovation is mainly more suitable for the current life, at least the toilet and electricity are convenient." The rest is nothing. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm here to study this. Assurance will make you satisfied. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Thank you, let's help each other. ”

Zhang Tianyuan glanced at the closed door. Ordered Snake Lin to open the door, and since Xu Yue's family moved out, they handed over the key to Snake Lin.

Under the leadership of Zhang Tianyuan, Aunt Li, Tie Ruisheng and Lin Chun'e walked around the courtyard.

Aunt Li is best at the design of ancient building restoration, while Tie Ruisheng is better at hands-on, he has a large group of professionals under him, and Lin Chun'e is good at the combination of courtyard houses and modern life.

So these three people look at a courtyard, in fact, the angles are different, but this is also better. In this way, the final conclusion will be more accurate.

The yard was very clean, which was obviously cleaned by Xu Yue's family before leaving, and even some flowers and plants were trimmed, which looked very neat.

The three of them looked at it very carefully, obviously they really wanted to make this courtyard house a good one, and they couldn't let Zhang Tianyuan down.

Zhang Tianyuan instructed Snake Lin to go out and buy water and food, it was easy to be thirsty on this hot day.

It's almost time to see it. The crowd simply sat down at a stone table in the backyard and rested.

"What do you think, can you come up with this decoration plan?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

He didn't know anything about architecture, so he could only ask for the opinions of these three people on this matter.

Tie Ruisheng pondered for a while and said, "I'm just talking about architecture. The courtyard house you bought was originally built during the Republic of China, but in fact, the years are not particularly old. In addition, the construction requirements were very strict at that time, so the quality was very good. If I had to say, there's basically nothing to move in your yard. Just repaint and patch up some of the broken spots. ”

"That's good, I originally thought it would be best to leave it as it is, otherwise would it still be called an old mansion?" Zhang Tianyuan said.

Aunt Li smiled and said: "Your idea is very good, I have been to St. Petersburg before, in St. Petersburg, Russia, a centuries-old building has been protected on the outside, and the inside of the building has been completely demolished. ”

"It's all demolished?, can it still be called protection?" asked Zhang Tianyuan in surprise.

"Of course, it is called protection, and we can also see several problems from this, one is the importance of the façade of the building, the façade of the building is a memory, the memory of the city, the memory of hundreds of years, when the functional facilities inside the building are completely inadequate, not to abandon the building completely, but to put it' The second is the concept of building protection, is the idea of the city, the foundation of a city's development is history, architecture is the symbol and freeze frame of history, money can create the skyscraper of modern buildings, but can not create the vicissitudes of urban history, the vicissitudes of history are the soul of the city, and the city without a soul will not have vitality; the third is the way and means of building protection, local protection and construction technology, although this is a technical problem, but reflects the originality of protection. Speaking of which, the courtyard house you bought doesn't have to be so troublesome, in fact, a large number of buildings inside and outside can be preserved, which is your luck. Aunt Li explained.

"Well, I don't know much about that. Zhang Tianyuan scratched his head and said.

"You don't know, our country has developed very quickly over the years, but with it a lot of problems. In many of our cities, there is a 'bathing for children' mentality, and when a child is bathed, even the water is poured out with the child, and it is completely discarded, which is actually a pathological mode of thinking. The protection of urban historic buildings is the continuation of urban life, we must not only have a sense of protection, but also learn how to protect under different situations and conditions, we need practitioners. And people like you are our practitioners, ancient buildings, and a kind of protector of culture, and the reason why I will put down my work to help you is also the reason. Aunt Li smiled.

"That's right, Mr. Li's words are very right, and I mean the same thing, because I have been engaged in architecture, I have traveled to many places, and I have seen those buildings full of cultural atmosphere being demolished casually, which is really distressing. Tie Ruisheng also nodded.

Lin Chun'e added: "There are many people who find these old buildings inconvenient to live in, and this is also their reason, so I studied the topic. It's about blending old buildings with modern life perfectly, like that. There will be no zài problem. ”

"Can you do it?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

Lin Chun'e nodded and said, "Of course you can, in fact, this aspect of research." It has already begun abroad, especially in Europe. In the process of building renewal, new technologies are also being applied more and more, so that the old buildings can be reborn while better meeting the requirements of energy consumption and building technology. For example, in some houses, on both sides of the hall, the architect built some concrete boxes within the outer walls of the warehouse. These pure rooms within a room not only meet the needs of storage and exhibition of artworks in terms of function, but also make the safety and air environment needs of the exhibition building well met. A new technology to prevent water vapor condensation can also be introduced in the building, wall heating and cooling: ventilation ducts are embedded directly in the concrete slabs of the walls and floors and suspended ceilings are eliminated, allowing the building to save 20% of its energy consumption. The heating and cooling of the building is achieved by sharing the energy supply of the surrounding buildings. Architects and luminaire manufacturers have jointly developed luminaires for use in art galleries. White luminous bands suspended under the ceiling provide soft direct and indirect illumination. Tong guò intelligent energy control equipment. The energy consumption of the whole building is less than 15 watts per square meter. You can rest assured that these are the conveniences of the new technology. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I agree with that, and a good architect can do so much more. Tie Ruisheng also nodded: "For the architect himself, his responsibility for this work is everywhere, so the details of the building are extremely delicate and attractive. The tireless and meticulous work not only makes the strictly abstract design concept finally present to the world with a perfect architectural image, but also makes the life of the building continue to the greatest extent. For example, oak wood removed from a 100-year-old wooden structure is eventually rediscovered as a material for benches, and rusted iron plates with historical traces may be installed in a specific part to remind people that the building was once a grain storehouse. On the glass boxes of two restaurants and shops that were added in front of the building on the riverside side. The architects used glass panels printed with special patterns, and the glass boxes showed different effects of glowing or reflecting sunlight at different light angles, which our team was able to do. ”

"Tear down the east wall and make up the west wall?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

You can say the same. It's impossible for your yard to be left untouched, and there must be some demolition, but not much. For example, if you say you want to build a private museum, then the museum should at least match the style of the whole building, right?"

"That's right. ”

"That's it. The materials needed are not only expensive if you go out to buy. And you may not be able to find the same one, but if you remove some from the inside, it will be completely different. Tie Ruisheng explained.

"I see. Although Zhang Tianyuan didn't understand architecture, he could still understand this.

Lin Chun'e took over the conversation and said: "Xiao Zhang, you can actually rest assured, our country is not the first to engage in this kind of research, as early as in Europe, there are many similar experiences, so you are not a guinea pig, and neither is your courtyard." ”

"Hehe, it's good not to be a guinea pig. Zhang Tianyuan smiled.

"Let me tell you something, there was a church renovation in Europe that I thought was very successful. People have the impression that churches are often converted into museums. In Neubrandenburg, Germany, architects converted a dilapidated church into a concert hall, where the Gothic space was transformed into a sacred and moving musical temple. Thanks to the joint efforts of the architects and engineers of Tongguò, not only the form and space of the Gothic church have been perfectly preserved, but also the acoustic requirements necessary for a modern concert hall have been met. From the concept of the architectural scheme to the design of the detailed structure of the building, it has the appropriate simplicity and logic. ”

"Changing a church into a concert hall? That should be much more difficult than renovating a courtyard house, right?"

"You're right. In fact, the church, which was bombed in World War II, had been repaired in the 70s of the last century, and the ruins of the church were roofed with steel trusses to prevent further damage to the old site. At that time, the idea of converting the ruins of the church into a concert hall was carried out, but the design and technology were not mature until 1996, when an international competition was held for Guò, and this plan was gradually realized by Finnish architects. Technology is moving very fast, you don't know it, so you don't know it. (To be continued......)
