竹林步道是整个大别山森林徒步道中的一个景观段落，横跨一片长满竹子的山谷，一路抵达山顶一颗挺拔参天的大松树下。这里的竹子生长于山谷之中，为了获取顶部宝贵的阳光而不断竞相向上生长。竹林旺盛的生命力和山谷清幽深邃的意境，构成场地中的独特景观。我们希望步道介入场地时，尽可能不破坏这种充满原始野趣的意境，在保护竹林自然环境的基础上，使用与环境协调的建造语言，让步道融入到场地的自然环境中。

The bamboo forest walking path is a landscape node of the Dabie Forest Trail. It lays across a valley full of bamboo and ended at the foot of a giant pine tree on the hilltop. Here in the tranquil valley, bamboo grows vigorously to reach the precious sunlight above, which constituted a unique view. In designing the walking path, we intended to not only preserve the site view and the ecological environment but also to make the new-built trail blend in with the landscape naturally.

思考与启发 Thoughts and Inspirations 山区施工除了对自然场地造成破坏之外，还经常面临材料难以运输，水电不通造成的现场施工方式有限的问题。此外，地方工人的施工工艺水平也有很大局限。因此我们需要根据当地情况选择恰当的低影响且易操作的建造模式。我们曾在邻近的山区见到一处工人用脚手架和木板搭建的临时施工便道，顺应地势起伏铺展在山间，用最直接有效的方式解决了山间交通的问题，脚手架这种纤细轻盈的材料在山间也形成了与环境极为和谐的画面。类似的民间建造在乡村其实随处可见，简单有效的手段，却意外的充满建构的趣味。

There are many construction challenges in the mountain area. For example, the construction activity may harm the natural environment, the material could be difficult to transport, and the construction method is limited due to the lack of water or electricity. In addition, the overall construction standards may fail to meet the requirements. Hence, the construction method of the walking path should be localized, can be easily operated, and with low intervention to the environment.

We have seen a construction access road built with wood planks and scaffoldings by local workers. It goes along with the mountainous terrain naturally and most of all, it solved accessible problems effectively. The slenderness and lightness of the scaffolding create a harmonious sense within the landscape. Such folk constructions are frequently used in the rural area. Usually, they are easily built, but with playfulness construction thoughts.

低干预和单元化的建造方式

Low Intervention and Modularized Construction

我们采用脚手架作为竹林山谷和大松树两处节点的建造材料，设计了一个脚手架建造单元，这两处节点只需要根据不同长度需要进行单元组合即可，大大减少建造的复杂程度。其他步道依托现有小路进行简单的毛石铺地。

A modular scaffolding unit is used for the construction of the two plank roads in the bamboo forest and under the pine tree. The unit can be combined to different lengths according to needs, which simplified the construction process. The other trail linking the plank road is paved with rubble stone.
