贺兰山下美贺之塔丨中国银川丨继景室内设计（上海）有限公司

意义：不是建筑的建筑

Meaning: A building, yet not a building

我一直都抱有幻想，如果有机会能在西北盖一栋房子挺好。虽然我从事的工作多以改造项目为主，可万一实现了呢？三年前改造了美贺酒庄之后，当我再一次来到贺兰山脚下时，依然被大自然的雄伟壮观所震撼。

因为消防规范的要求，需要在离酒庄建筑不远处建一栋水塔，来解决酒庄消防用水的压力问题。基于之前愉快的合作经历，业主希望委托我来设计这个听起来有点奇怪的附属建筑，对于从未接触过此类项目的我来说，或许是一次难得的机会。

I’ve always been with a dream that it would be nice to build a house in the Northwest. I work mostly on construction renovation projects, but what if it could be true? When I returned to the foot of Helan Mountain three years after the renovation of Mihope Chateau, I was still shocked by the magnificence of nature. Due to the requirements of the fire code, a water tower to be built should be by the Chateau, to solve its water pressure problem of extinguishing and protection. Based on the previous good cooperation experience, the owner wanted to entrust me to design this strange-sounding annex, which may be a distinct opportunity for me as I had never been involved in such a project.

酒庄的建筑高度是 21 米。根据规范要求，水塔的高度必须要高过酒庄的建筑才能满足消防供水的需求，所以选址就尤为重要！可去到现场后，无论从哪个角度看，水塔的高度和体量未来都不可避免地映入眼帘。

The building height of the Chateau is 21 meters. According to the code requirements, the height of the water tower must be higher than the Chateau buildings to meet the water supply needs for extinguishing and protection, so the location is particularly important. After being at the site, the height and volume of the water tower will inevitably come into the view from any perspective in the future.

“太大了，太挡了，太突兀了”心里想如果不盖这个东西最好了。但是水塔和建筑的关系是相互依存的，即酒堡建筑在水塔必须在。水塔的高度是不可回避的一个问题，所以这个看似临时的构筑物却不能当成一个临时的构筑物去思考。

“It’s too big and obtrusive.” I thought it would be better if I didn’t cover it. But the connection between the water tower and the building is interdependent, that is, the building of the wine castle must be with the water tower. The height of the water tower is an unavoidable problem, so this seemingly temporary structure cannot be considered as a temporary building.

选址：让灌溉水池成为水塔的景观

Site Selection: Make the irrigation pond a water tower landscape

“如何让水塔显得不孤立不突兀呢？”这个问题一直盘旋在我脑中，直到在回上海的飞机上看到 ipad 里的一张航拍照片。

How to make the water tower look not isolated and not abrupt? This question kept hovering in my mind until I saw an aerial photo in my ipad on the plane back to Shanghai.

“对啊，为什么不能让既有的灌溉水池成为水塔的景观呢？这样水塔就好像已经存在了很久一样！”这样不就可以让二者成为相互依存的关系吗，设计本来不就是普遍联系着的吗？设计的存在和形式不都在于它内部要素之间的特定联系和同周围其他事物的一定联系、相互作用和依存的结果吗？如果这样追问下去，为什么这里要建造水塔？是因为这里有酒堡建筑需要满足消防的规范；为什么酒庄的建筑要建在这里？是因为这里有葡萄园需要满足酿造需求；为什么要把葡萄树种在这里？是因为葡萄树的生长需要有充足的阳光和贺兰山挡住了风沙形成了独特的气候；为什么这里会有那么大的灌溉水池？是因为这里种植的葡萄树需要充足的水来灌溉。

“Yeah, why can’t we make the established irrigation pond a view of the water tower? It would be as if the water tower has been there for a long time!” Wouldn’t that make the two interdependent? Isn’t design inherently and universally connected? Isn’t the existence and form of design the result of a specific connection between its internal elements and a certain connection, interaction, and dependence with other things around it? If we go on like this, why was the water tower built here? It is because there is a wine castle building here that needs to meet the fire code. Why is the winery building built here? Because there are vineyards here to meet the needs of winemaking. Why are the vines planted here? Because the vines need sufficient sunlight to grow and the Helan Mountains block the wind and sand to form a unique climate. Why is there such a large irrigation pond here? It is because the vines need sufficient water to irrigate.

从贺兰山脉到葡萄园到灌溉水池到酒庄的建筑再到水塔，由此展开相互关联缺一不可。于是我找到了答案——让水塔参与整个生态体系，让灌溉水池和水塔互为景观。

From the Helan Mountains to the vineyards to the irrigation ponds to the architecture of the winery and then to the water tower. The process unfolds from this interconnectedness. Thus, I found the answer – let the water tower participate in the whole ecosystem, and make the irrigation pond and the water tower become each other’s landscape.

观景：不是观景平台的观景平台

Viewing:A viewing platform,yet not a viewing platform

当我们对建筑形态陷入一种固定思维后，水塔的传统印象或许是四根柱子撑起了一个水箱。我们能不能跳脱固有的思维，为水塔赋予新的意义呢？

When we fall into a fixed thinking about architectural forms, the traditional impression of a water tower might be four pillars holding up a water tank. Can we think outside the inherent thinking and give a new meaning to the water tower?

酿造红酒本身就是一个复杂的过程，需要种植、采收、压榨、发酵、橡木桶培养、装瓶等，相互关联缺一不可。人不也是这样吗？需要成长、学习、实践、试错、感悟、收获成果来体验更丰富的人生。

Brewing wine is a complex process, requiring planting, harvesting, pressing, fermentation, barrel culture, bottling, etc. They are interrelated and cannot be separated. Is it not the same with people? Need to grow, learn, practice, trial and error, perception, harvest results to experience a richer life.

如果把人生的体验浓缩在这个小小的壳内，建立一个和贺兰山对话的窗口会怎样呢？那么这条体验路径应该怎么设置呢？就像爬山一样，我们费劲艰险，翻越高山、峭壁，不断地去挑战自我，人和自然的关系或许就是这么微妙吧！

What if the experience of life is condensed in this small shell and a window of dialogue with Helan Mounts is established? And how should this path of experience be set up? Like climbing a mountain, we struggle to climb over high mountains and crags, constantly challenging ourselves. Perhaps the relationship between man and nature is so delicate!

概念：Concept

一条 100 米长葡萄园间的小路，穿过格桑花丛把我们带到 12 米高如山涧夹缝般的入口。入口隐约有光，初极狭，仅一人可通过。小路穿过建筑入口在幽暗的空间螺旋上升。夕阳穿过西边墙上的开孔洒进室内，透出丝丝风声。拾级而上，15 米高的螺旋楼梯不设缓冲平台，我希望人们能感知到身体发生的变化。复行数步，豁然开朗。一大片光直面而来，螺旋楼梯从室内穿过直径 6 米的圆孔把我们带到了室外空中。

A 100-meter-long path between vineyards leads us through the gerberas to a 12-meter-high entrance like a mountain stream crevice. The entrance is faintly lighted and at first extremely narrow, only one person can pass through. The path spirals up through the building’s entrance in a dark space. The sun sets through the openings in the western wall and spills into the interior, revealing the slightest sound of wind. There is no cushioned platform in the 15-meter-high spiral staircase, so I hope people can sense the physical changes that are taking place. After a few more steps, the room opens up. A large area of light came straight ahead, and the spiral staircase took us from the interior through a 6-meter diameter circular hole into the air outside.

楼梯悬挑出 4 米如丝带飘在空中，底部无任何结构支撑。我们悬浮在半空中缓步前行，眺望远山和一望无际的葡萄园，酒堡的全貌完整地在我们面前呈现，原来酒堡在贺兰山面前是那么孤独而又渺小，一如人类在大自然面前，充满着仰望和感叹。我们仿佛追寻着某种信念，继续攀登。螺旋的钢制楼梯缠绕着方形混凝土墙壁跟随着路径转弯，前一刻我们还在风中鹤立，后一秒停在 25 米的高空中。转身穿过一个 1 米宽的入口进入了空气也仿佛静止的幽闭空间。

The staircase cantilevered out 4 meters like a ribbon floating in the air, without any structural support at the bottom. We were suspended in mid-air and walked slowly, looking at the distant mountains and endless vineyards. The full view of the wine castle was presented in front of us, and it turned out that the wine castle was so lonely and small in front of Helan Mountain, just like human beings in front of nature, full of admiration and sighing. It was as if we were pursuing some kind of faith and continued to climb. A spiral steel staircase wrapped around a square concrete wall followed the path as it turned, and one moment we were standing in the wind as cranes, the next we stopped 25 meters up in the air. Turning through a 1-meter-wide entrance into a claustrophobic space where the air seems to stand still.

喇叭口状的混凝土空间，空无一物。视线被拉到这个空间里唯一的大开口，远处的贺兰山如策马奔腾，明亮、刺眼、连绵不断。

The flared concrete space was empty. The view was drawn to the only large opening in this space, and the Helan Mountains in the distance were as bright, blinding and continuous as a galloping horse.

回想从进入到登顶的过程，猎奇、探索、惊喜、胆战、畅怀，短短的过程中充满了趣味。犹如人生，兜兜转转、起起落落，到处是未知。我们靠近栏杆，倾听大自然的声音。山、光、风、土地、葡萄园在这里相互交织。

Looking back on the process from entry to the top, the hunt, the exploration, the surprise, the boldness, the open arms, the short process is full of fun. It was like life, going round and round, ups and downs, everywhere is unknown. We move closer to the railing and listen to the sounds of nature. Mountains, light, wind, land and vineyards are intertwined here.
