项目背景 | Background

牛角冲村位于安徽霍山县城郊，背靠大别山，处于霍山县南岳山景区大环线之上的一处重要节点。作为大景区环线上的重要村庄节点，牛角冲村既有自身环境改造提升的诉求，同时作为旅游通道上的重要节点也亟待提升。

Located at the suburb of Huoshan County, Anhui Province and rested against Dabie Mountain, Niujiaochong Village is a site of great importance in the grand circle of the Nanyue Mountain scenic spot. Because of its important location, it needs both environmental upgrading and development as an important junction point.

牛角冲中心村被一条小河穿过，该村民组民宅都沿河岸两侧而建，菜地、竹林分布其间，村民们的洗衣洗菜每天也都在河边进行，河道涵盖了众多村民的日常生活场景。但同时河道由于常年缺少治理和维护也存在诸多问题，河道内杂草丛生，淤积严重，上下游道路无法连通，河边现状洗衣点也非常简陋，使用不便。本项目以河道为依托，以公共空间为切入，通过对滨水空间的梳理，重塑乡村生活依水为邻的传统空间叙事，以当下乡村生活为背景再现乡村公共空间活力。

▼总平面图，Site plan

With a river running across the Niujiaochong Village, the villagers have built their homes along the river banks, including dwellings, vegetable fields and bamboo forest. Many daily scenes can be seen along the river. For example, there you can see residents washing clothes and vegetables every day. However, the river course leaves much to be desired due to the perennial lack of governance and maintenance. The upper and lower reaches of the river course are silted because of overrunning weeds and accumulated sediments. And it’s quite primitive and inconvenient to wash clothes in the river. Based on the river course and from the perspective of public space, therefore, this project reexamines the waterfront space to reconstruct the traditional spatial narrative of rural life adjacent to water and reproduce the vitality of rural public space according to the current rural life.

方案设计 | Scheme and Design

方案在河道上下游设置了两处洗衣和休憩埠头，将河边洗衣这一带有社交属性的日常劳动与公共空间结合，使乡村空间重焕生机。在整个构筑物系统中使用了统一的形式，材料上采用了标准化的钢材以及常见的乡村材料，降低建造难度的同时具有推广和示范效应。

Two quays for laundry and relaxation are designed in the upper reaches and the lower reaches, which combines laundry, a daily activity and a form of social communication, with public spaces, and refreshes the rural spaces. The design adopts an integrated language and form, using standard steels and other materials common in rural areas. By doing so, both the difficulty of construction could be diminished, and the design could be accepted and followed.

上游埠头 |The Upper Quay

上游埠头原本是一处桥边的下河台阶，台阶直接与车行道相连接，存在一定交通危险，河道长满杂草，淤积严重。改造过程中将桥与洗衣埠头整体考虑，原下河台阶做了方向上的调整，在桥头的入口处形成可以坐下聊天的休闲空间，下河台阶的巨大屋檐为下方的洗衣空间提供遮蔽，河道中通过两道拦水墙形成一处水池，上下各有水口，村民既可以在池中漂洗大件衣物也可以在流速较快的水口处冲刷。

The upper quay used to be steps down the river next to the bridge, where there is a certain traffic risk because of the direct connection between steps and lanes, and the river course is filled with overrunning weeds and accumulated sediments. In the transformation process, the bridge and the laundry quay are considered as a whole. The direction of original steps has been adjusted to form a leisure space where people can chat at the entrance of the bridge. The huge eaves of the steps then shelter the laundry space below. In the river course, a pool is formed by two retaining walls, with outlets at both the top and bottom, so villagers can rinse large clothing in the pool or at the outlets where water flows quickly.
