磁器口东门旅游服务驿站丨中国重庆丨重庆悦集建筑设计事务所

01 缘起 | 古镇边缘的服务型驿站

Origin | A service station on the edge of the ancient town

重庆磁器口作为始建于宋代的千年古镇和中国历史文化名街，集丰富的巴渝文化、宗教文化、沙磁文化、红岩文化和民间文化于一体，2006 年被批准为国家 AAAA 级旅游景区。它以“一江两溪三山四街”的独特地貌，成为人文荟萃、风景优美的旅游胜地，也是重庆主城区内唯一的规模最大、最具巴渝传统民居、民俗、民风特色的古镇。

Chongqing Ciqikou, established during the Song Dynasty, is a millennium-old ancient town and a historically significant cultural street in China. It embodies rich Bayu culture, religious culture, Shaci culture, Hongyan culture, and folk culture, and was designated as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction in 2006. With its unique landscape of “one river, two streams, three mountains, and four streets,” it has become a culturally rich and picturesque tourist destination, and is the largest ancient town in the main urban area of Chongqing, showcasing traditional Bayu residential architecture, customs, and traditions.

设计场地位于磁器口历史文化街区的建设控制地带内，紧邻核心保护区，场地北临清水溪与沙磁巷商业街相望，南接东门入口广场，东西两侧紧靠磁器口大桥和滨江路环道，围合出面向清水溪的三角形地块。

驿站的建设旨在为磁器口景区提供旅游服务的相关配套设施，功能包含旅游信息服务站、青年志愿者驿站、招租店铺和公共卫生间，以解决磁器口古镇内外相关公共空间严重不足的问题。

并且随着磁童路景观绿化改造完成，这片面向清水溪的场地也亟需提质更新，使之成为可供居民、游客驻足观景的视线通廊型景观空间。

The site is located within the construction control zone of the Ciqikou historical cultural district, adjacent to the core protected area. To the north, it faces the Qing Shui Creek and Shaci Commercial Street; to the south, it connects to the East Gate Square; and on both the east and west sides, it borders the Ciqikou Bridge and the riverside ring road, forming a triangular plot facing Qing Shui Creek. The purpose of the station’s construction is to provide tourism-related support facilities for the Ciqikou scenic area, including a tourist information service center, a youth volunteer station, rental shops, and public restrooms, addressing the severe shortage of public spaces in and around the ancient town. With the completion of the landscaping renovation of Mingtong Road, this area facing Qing Shui Creek also urgently requires quality upgrades to transform it into a scenic space for residents and tourists to pause and enjoy the view.

驿站设计的核心目标是在磁器口古镇这样的特殊历史环境边缘寻求一种延续传统文脉与连接当代语境的平衡，同时创造一个“闹中取静”的庇护场所，打造一个优雅质朴但又不失创意的空间环境。而在这样一块位于高架桥旁、清水溪边的不规则地块中，如何因地制宜地充分挖掘场地潜力，以最小的环境扰动达成最大的功能效果，同时在对历史环境充分尊重的前提下，以当代的建筑语言组织巧妙回应周边景观秩序和古镇建筑肌理，成为本项目的设计难点。

The core goal of the station design is to seek a balance between continuing traditional cultural context and connecting with contemporary environments in a unique historical setting like Ciqikou Ancient Town. It aims to create a serene refuge amidst the hustle and bustle, crafting an elegant yet simple space that retains creativity. In a site irregularly located next to an overpass and beside the clear water creek, the challenge lies in maximizing the site’s potential with minimal environmental disturbance. This involves skillfully responding to the surrounding landscape order and the texture of ancient town architecture using contemporary architectural language, all while fully respecting the historical context.

02 解读 | 清水溪岸，功能复合

Interpretation | Clear Water Stream Bank, Functional Integration

驿站总面积约 216.8 平方米，包含地上层和吊层。在功能策划上，我们将地上层作为招租商业（为平衡本项目投资与回报）和旅游信息服务站，服务站内设有室内休息座椅、充电宝、自助售卖机等，为该地块提供一系列缺失的公共服务和必要设施。我们还利用场地原有高差，将平台下的空间借助景观充分利用，拓展出 100 平方米左右的面积，作为公共卫生间和志愿者服务站，其中，公共卫生间满足功能性需求，志愿者服务站为志愿者们提供休息、交流、培训的空间。让使用者能通过大面积落地窗和室外平台充分感受到整个场地景观。此外，交通楼梯安排在建筑外侧，以便更好地将自然环境引入到建筑空间内。

The total area of the station is approximately 216.8 square meters, comprising an upper level and a suspended level. In terms of functional planning, we will designate the upper level for rental commercial purposes (to balance the investment and returns of the project) and as a tourist information service station. The service station will include indoor seating, charging stations, and vending machines, providing a range of essential public services and facilities that are currently lacking in the area.

We will also make use of the site’s existing elevation changes to fully utilize the space beneath the platform, expanding it to around 100 square meters for public restrooms and a volunteer service station. The public restrooms will meet functional needs, while the volunteer service station will offer a space for volunteers to rest, interact, and receive training. Users will be able to experience the landscape of the entire site through large floor-to-ceiling windows and the outdoor platform. Additionally, the stairs will be located on the exterior of the building to better integrate the natural environment into the architectural space.

03 概念 | 折纸漂浮，翠影轻亭

Concept | Origami floating, green shadow pavilion

作为一个历史大环境中的小房子，如何使其与场地保持和谐共处的关系是设计师首先考虑的问题。建筑南北侧正对清水溪和入口广场，另外两个朝向保留了许多长势良好的香樟树。因此，在设计策略上，驿站以屋面作为视觉中心，采用三个基本长方体块以上下错落叠加的组合方式而矗立于场地中，力求与周边绿化景观自然融合，同时为使用者提供遮阳避雨的休憩空间。在此，因地制宜地利用地形高差与景观，设置吊层与视线通廊为首选策略。

▼生成逻辑，Generate logic©悦集建筑

As a small house within a historical context, how to maintain a harmonious coexistence with the site is the primary consideration for the designer. The building faces the Qing Shui Creek and the entrance plaza on the north and south sides, while the other two orientations preserve many well-growing camphor trees. Therefore, in terms of design strategy, the station uses the roof as a visual center, standing in the site with a combination of three basic rectangular blocks arranged in a staggered manner. This aims to naturally integrate with the surrounding green landscape while providing users with shaded and sheltered resting spaces. Accordingly, utilizing the terrain’s elevation changes and landscape features, the preferred strategy is to set up hanging levels and visual corridors.

04 串联 | 通廊与观景挑台

Connection | Corridor and Viewing Platform

在形体设计上，将不同尺度的体块围合出的视线通廊，作为整个建筑的核心区域。通廊空间与吊层空间垂直互动形成天井庭院，形成一处静谧安逸、可以与光线互动的场所，自然光与人工光在此处融合，在室内形成能短暂驻足停留思考的空间节点，不仅使灰空间具备较高的识别度和趣味性，还将其转化为一个独特的景观休憩场所。

此外，建筑外部层层抬升的平台设计，不仅为人们提供了座椅和户外活动空间，还能有效应对重庆暴雨季节，防止建筑因水位上涨而被水侵袭。木质平台的设计与檐口形成了有趣的呼应，而折线型金属屋面则在不同角度下展现丰富的光影变化。

随着人们逐步接近，对建筑的解读过程也变得更加清晰，为使用者带来层次丰富的视觉体验。

In terms of form design, the visual corridor created by the enclosures of volumes at different scales serves as the core area of the entire building. The interaction between the corridor space and the suspended layer space creates a skylight courtyard, resulting in a tranquil and comfortable place that engages with light. Here, natural light and artificial light merge, creating nodes within the interior where people can pause and reflect. This not only enhances the recognition and interest of the gray space but also transforms it into a unique landscape resting area. Additionally, the layered elevated platform design on the building’s exterior not only provides seating and outdoor activity spaces but also effectively addresses the heavy rainfall season in Chongqing, preventing flooding due to rising water levels. The design of the wooden platform resonates interestingly with the eaves, while the zigzag metal roof showcases rich variations of light and shadow from different angles. As people gradually approach, the interpretive process of the building becomes clearer, offering users a richly layered visual experience.

05 构造 | 上扬的折线形屋面

Structure | Upward Zigzag Roof

通过对场地肌理的分析，我们希望建筑能与周边古镇产生形态上的相关性，同时将新的手法赋予建筑的构造和色彩等元素，让驿站在整个公共广场中形成新的形态视觉，最终以开放的姿态迎接市民和游客。考虑到使用者多为青年志愿者，设计以如展翅起飞的折线形屋顶象征青春与活力。屋顶向两侧延展，呼应着钢木与混凝土结构的“显隐”关系。这样的处理不仅能够形成通透的中庭空间，也让风环境自然穿透，回应了场地的开阔性需求。同时，伞形钢木结构打造的灰空间为公众提供了休憩场所，外檐出挑形成如亭如廊的可遮风避雨、抵挡烈日的过渡空间，为广场活动的人群提供半室外庇护的场所，进一步支持公共生活的开展。

Through the analysis of the site texture, we hope the architecture can create a morphological relationship with the surrounding ancient town, while also introducing new techniques to the building’s structure and color elements. This will allow the Station to form a new visual identity within the entire public square, ultimately welcoming citizens and visitors with an open stance. Considering that most users will be young volunteers, the design features a zigzag roof that symbolizes youth and vitality, resembling wings in flight. The roof extends outwards, reflecting the ‘visibility’ relationship between steel-wood and concrete structures. This approach not only creates a transparent atrium space but also allows the wind to flow naturally, addressing the site’s need for openness. Meanwhile, the umbrella-shaped steel-wood structure creates a gray space that provides a resting area for the public. The overhanging eaves form a transitional space resembling a pavilion or corridor, shielding people from wind and rain and offering a semi-outdoor refuge for the crowds engaged in activities at the square, further supporting public life.

建筑主体结构使用胶合木的梁柱体系，深檐的坡屋顶采用哑光黑铝镁锰板金属系统，并结合伞状变体设计，贴合传统受力逻辑。横梁承受水平力，通过柱子将竖向荷载传递至地面，结构清晰、简明。建筑上部的木结构梁柱直接暴露，与经过精心处理的外立面相结合，展现了轻盈的设计手法和轻介入、轻姿态、亲近自然的空间效果。在材料的选择上，主体结构以木色为主色调，与素雅的白色水洗石墙面形成视觉反差，体现出现代建筑的要素。

The main structural system of the building uses a glulam beam-column framework, while the deep eaves of the sloped roof are made of a matte black aluminum-magnesium-manganese metal system, combined with an umbrella-shaped variant design that aligns with traditional structural logic. The horizontal beams resist lateral forces and transfer vertical loads to the ground through the columns, resulting in a clear and straightforward structure. The upper wooden beam-column structure is exposed, combining with the carefully treated facade to showcase a light design approach and create a space that is minimally invasive, graceful, and in harmony with nature. In terms of material selection, the main structure features a wood color as the primary hue, contrasting visually with the elegant white washed stone walls, embodying elements of modern architecture.
