Zhang Ke (Pechino, 1970) è parte di quella nuova generazione di architetti cinesi che ha trascorso un periodo di formazione e/o di lavoro all’estero – nel suo caso per la laurea magistrale alla Harvard GSD e tre anni di pratica tra Boston e New York – e che lega un interesse per tradizioni costruttive locali ad approcci occidentali alla progettazione. Come molte delle nuove pratiche in Cina, il suo lavoro guarda a scale molto diverse: i progetti sono attenti alle micro-dinamiche dei luoghi e alla vita quotidiana delle persone che li abitano, ma ambiscono anche a rivoluzionare le modalità con cui si concepisce la rigenerazione urbana in Cina.

Xizhi Art village is a regeneration project aiming to rejuvenate the old derelict village in decay, by establishing an art village that combines art and design with the local natural and cultural environment. Xizhi village is located in Beijing municipality, Miyun district, northeast of Beijing, originating from the Ming dynasty.

The new Guangxi Longji Primary School is conceived as a “house” designed for students and teachers, where a series of intimate spaces open to a breathtaking landscape of terraced rice fields. The new building grows out from the existing school and then into the earth, reshaping the site topography as well as embedding itself as part of the slope.
新广西龙脊小学是一个为学生和老师设计的“家”。一连串的亲密空间从原有的木校舍里生长出来，沿坡入土而下，最后面对山谷梯田敞开。下沉的新校舍不但紧紧地嵌入山势，也同时体现了对旧校舍的尊重。

Ce projet de 30㎡ , appelé micro-hutong, offre une alternative, à la préservation et à la valorisation des maisons à cours traditionnelles, siheyuan, dont le problème le plus prégnant est le depart de ses occupants à la recherché de logements aux standards du «confort moderne ».

The new studio of ZAO/standardarchitecture is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful architecture offices in Beijing. It is located in the north of the city on the site of a former warehouse, of which only the plastered, closed street facade remains. For the new walls around the courtyard the architects decided to use fired clay bricks typical for northern China. These bricks exhibit slightly varied gray tones, which create a shimmering effect, and quickly develop a sensually rough surface when exposed to the weather.

Zhang Ke began his architectural practice in Tibet：the abstract simplicity and bright colors of Tibetan architecture have had a profound impact on his architectural approach. His series of projects in Tibet adopts contemporary local masonry and a geometric-inspired appearance to make the buildings seem like land art, deeply embedded in Tibet's unique landscape.

"Bauhaus" was never a word with special meaning for me, until I went to study at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard in 1996. The school was considered to be the American reincarnation of the Bauhaus, because Walter Gropius himself taught therefrom 1938to 1952. It was at GSD that I encountered the Bauhaus legacy and began thinking about Gropius and Mies van der Rohe.

The historical building culture still shapes China's popular national identity today. There is no brochure or advertising material without curved roofs or pagodas. An additional narrative has been added in recent years: the generic skyscraper city, which provides a background for the curved roofs and historical variety of forms without any local reference. However, the city of the people has lost its simple identity-creating frame of reference from the living environment. Not only functionally one-dimensional city quarters, but also aesthetically impoverished concepts complicate identification and thus the sense of responsibility for the neighbourhood. But what does a contemporary environment look like that is accepted and cared for by the population?
今天，历史建筑的文化仍在塑造着中国的流行民族特征。无论哪个手册或宣传材料都有大屋顶或宝塔。近年来又出现了另一种叙事：千篇一律的摩天楼城市为大屋顶和丰富的历史形式提供了背景，却毫无地方特色。人们的城市失去了从生活环境中建立认同的简单观念。不仅是功能单一的城市住区，还有审美贫瘠的概念，都使建立认同的过程和对住区的责任感复杂化。但会被大众接受和关心的当代环境应是怎样的？

The museum for the work of the painter Xiao Feng is located a few kilometres to the south of the famous West Lake, at the foot of Daci Mountain in Hangzhou. The plan of the building is based on the idea of a central garden, with a strong sense of inwardness reflecting a character that is key to traditional Chinese intellectual gardens. The layout naturally follows the site boundary and forms a linear circulation route through the exhibition spaces. Alongside the winding gallery spaces on the outside edge, a series of projecting rectangular rooms face inwards to provide views of the garden and, in some cases, also views towards the mountains at the back. The roof of the building was designed to generate a sense of layering and movement in the landscape. The organic volume rises gradually at the front to form an entryway to the garden, where the main entrance of the building is hidden behind trees and bamboo groves. Thus the museum becomes a part of the landscape and enhances the feeling of being in nature.
画家シャオ・フェソの作品のためのこの美術館は，有名な西湖から南に向かって数キロ，杭州大慈山の麓に位置している。建物の平面は中央庭園のアイディアにもとづいており，伝統的な中国の知性的な庭園にとって鍵となる性質を反映した，強い内面性の感覚を带びている。

Walking down a Beijing hutong (‘narrow street’) can feel like you’ve stumbled into a big, slightly chaotic, family home. There are always people hanging around, street furniture arranged for conversations, washing hanging out to dry, bikes scattered about.

This project further explores a sustainable renewal strategy for the urban fabric in the Baitasi historical area in an extremely subtle way. It aims to transform a 150 sqm courtyard in a shared space for two households with the insertion of a prefabricated service core in the 80 sqm main apartment and an 8 sqm “Mini House” underneath the pitched roof.

Ethics or Aesthetics?
The Brutalism and Rustic Manners in ZHANG Ke’s Works
Eduard KOEGEL, Translated by SU Hang, Proofread by ZHENG Chao and ZHANG Yifan
ABSTRACT By studying the two design approaches recurred in Zhang Ke’s works, the article considers the dynamics of his architectural expression. In the micro courtyards in Beijing, the architect seeks to unearth the history of the houses while provoking visitors’ speculation. Using found conditions of the site as the context, with a subtle reference to Brutalist material culture, the architect stages a direct conversation between the old and the new, to generate a distinct, sensual and perceptual experience. When surrounded by rural landscape in Tibet, Zhang Ke borrows the rustic manner of local material culture and applies it in his design, again, implicated with a touch of Brutalist sensitivity. With such approach, he aims to revitalize traditional craftsmanship and engage it in a new way, so as to sustain the originality of local practice while finding new application for traditional skills and techniques. In these projects, Zhang Ke’s idea of urban and rural context denotes a contemporary debate of identity. This conversation, creating an equal exchange between craftsmen and the architect, is a productive social encounter that has to transcend the wide gap of economic development between the two regions.

Seventeen Years Practice of ZAO/standardarchitecture
ZHI Wenjun, HE Run, DAI Chun
ABSTRACT Taking Chinese contemporary architect Zhang Ke as a sample, in terms of "data analysis", the article tries to unscramble Zhang Ke and his ZAO/standardarchitecture. By applying tools of computer programming and information visualization, the analysis goes beyond the perceptual understanding of architects, which is always based on the works they design or the articles they write. By means of data and text mining, more rational and scientific, the article summarizes the creative ideas of Zhang Ke. It shows projects, publications, exhibitions, speeches and awards of Zhang Ke/ZAO, revealing the impacting factors behind his success at the same time.

Im Oktober 2016 organisierte der Architektur-Lehrstuhl von Prof. Mike Guyer, Mitinhaber des bekannten Architekturbüros Gigon/Guyer in Zürich, eine Seminarreise ¢ür Architekturstudenten der ETH nach China. Die Teilnehmer konnten sich glücklich schätzen, mit der ETH-Architektin Mulan Sun Buschor eine erfahrene und kompetente Reiseleiterin mit gleichem Berufshintergrund zu bekommen. Mit ihrer einhergehenden Kenntnis der aktuellen chinesischen Architekturszene stellte sie ein äusserst spannendes Programm zusammen, das die hohen Erwartungen der angehenden Architekten voll und ganz zu er¢üllen vermochte. Ich erhielt die einmalige Chance, die Gruppe zu begleiten und mir eröfnete sich in einigen der gezeigten Architekturlösungen eine un erwartet neue Sicht au das Thema Denkmalpflege und Transformation in diesem Lande, die ich ohne diese Werkstattbesuche wohl nie so hätte gewinnen können.Im Oktober 2016 organisierte der Architektur-Lehrstuhl von Prof. Mike Guyer, Mitinhaber des bekannten Architekturbüros Gigon/Guyer in Zürich, eine Seminarreise ¢ür Architekturstudenten der ETH nach China.

The office building is based on the space-forming concept of cellular structures. Three-dimensional cells fill the given outlines of the complete building volumetric, some even as voids. This space-generating concept projects itself onto the floor plans and the building’s envelope, with its tilted glass panes. Also, in the courtyard the organic grid system generates a system of cellular pockets of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Micro-Hutong is an experiment carried out by studio Standardarchitecture in the district of Dashilar in Beijing. A building imagined in 2012 and translated from wood to reinforced concrete in 2016. Through a double process of partial demolition and remodellation, the result of the intervention is a small lot which favours the spatial and functional link to the neighbourhood and a sense of cosy and intimate dwelling.

Hutong reform in the past and present
张轲带领的标准营造事务所以尊重历史发展的每个阶段为前提，依据老城中的杂居形态，考虑大杂院当代居民的使用，设计了以“微杂院”、“微胡同” 为代表的胡同更新项目。我们由此为出发点，思考中国城市改造的走向以及当代建筑师的社会责任。

The hutongs of Beijing are fast disappearing. The residential compounds, with their layering of spaces and multiple courtyards, are often viewed as messy and insalubrious – almost as slums. If they find a place in the modern city, it is often in sanitised form, as a tourist attraction, filled with boutiques. The attempt to find a new use for this traditional building form – one that would benefit the local community – motivated this proposal for a space that would serve both the pupils from the nearby primary school and the hutong's remaining, mostly elderly, residents. Besides a children's library and exhibition space, the centre hosts a local handicrafts studio and classes in painting and dance.

Establecido en 1977 y otorgado por el Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), que dirige el español Luis Monreal, el Premio Aga Khan de Arquitectura se ha ido consolidando a lo largo de los años hasta convertirse en una referencia no sólo de las arquitecturas del mundo islámico, sino también de los edificios de calidad realizados con recursos locales y atentos al contexto. Dirigido por Farrokh Derakhshani, el premio trienal, dotado con un millón de dólares, y cuyo jurado presidió en esta edición Luis Fernández-Galiano, ha recaído en seis obras de diferente condición y ubicaciones muy distintas, cuya característica común es el modo en que contribuyen a mejorar su entorno: la mezquita Bait Ur Rouf en Daca (Bangladés), de Marina Tabassum; el centro comunitario en Gaibandha, también en Bangladés, de URBANA / Kashed Mahboob Chowdhury (imagen superior); la biblioteca y el centro de arte infantil en un hutong pequinés, de ZAO/ standardarchitecture y Zhang Ke (véase Arquitectura Viva 180); el puente peatonal Tabiat en Teherán (Irán), de Diba Tensile Architecture / Leila Araghian y Alireza Behzadi; el Instituto Issam Fares en Beirut (Líbano), de Zaha Hadid Architects; y, flnalmente, el Parque Superkilen en Copenhague (Dinamarca) de BIG / Bjarke Ingels Group.

Many young Chinese believe that the path to greatness is equivalent to the path to riches. Beijing architect Zhang Ke feels exactly the opposite. After receiving his bachelor and master degrees from Tsinghua University, he was the first Chinese national to secure a place at Harvard University’s prestigious Graduate School of Design. After graduation, he worked for William Rawn Associates in Boston briefly before spending three years at various architectural firms in Manhattan. He quickly learned that the corporate lifestyle was not for him.

In this shift and even search for diversity among dwelling unit types and aggregations of unit types, the small or so-called ‘micro-unit’ has been pursued in a number of contexts, both in China and abroad.

The hostel is situated along the slope of the Yarlung Tsangpo River near Pai Town, the small locality that marks the entrance to the Grand Canyon. The site is facing the river to the north, the 7,782 m-high peak of Namcha Barwa to the east, the 7,294 m Gyala Peri Peak to the northeast, and Mount Duoxiongla to the south. To design a hostel with one hundred rooms in such an environment posed a great challenge for the architects. Inspired by the “steps” strategy often seen in local villages when built on slopes, they decided to design a series of stepped, single-storey, linear buildings, each with unimpeded views of the river and mountains to the north and east. On four steps, each set back and grouped in a cresent-shaped form, the building is integrated like a horizontal cut in the foot of the mountain. With roofs covered by earth, shrubs and rocks, the building gently embeds itself into the sloped landscape. Viewed from a distance, the hostel disappears like a few thin leaves floating along the river.

Cha’er hutong is a quiet spot among the busy Dashilar area, situated one kilometer from the Forbidden City in the city centre of Beijing. The #8 Cha’er Hutong courtyard is a typical “Da-Za-Yuan”—big messy courtyard—once occupied by over a dozen families. Over the past fifty years, each family built a small add-on kitchen in the courtyard. These add-on structures are usually considered as urban scrap and all of them have been wiped out with the renovation practices during the past years.

Cha'er Hutong (Hutong of tea) is a quiet spot among the busy Dashilar area, situated one kilometre from Tiananmen Square in the city center. No.8 Cha'er Hutong is a typical "Da-Za-Yuan" (big-messy-courtyard) once occupied by over a dozen families. Over the past five decades each family built a small add-on kitchen in the courtyard. These add-on structures form a special density that is usually considered as urban scrap and almost all of them have been automatically wiped out with the renovation practices of the past years.

西藏娘欧码头是继2008年完工的派镇码头之后，标准营造与西藏旅游股份公司合作完成的又一码头项目。娘欧码头坐落在尼洋河和雅鲁藏布江的交汇口。 这里保留有完好的原始景观，而河岸边日益频繁的居民日常活动也似乎等待着一种介入，把自然元素串联起来，形成一个关于天空、山川与人的完整故事。

The urban-rural dichotomy has always played a vital role in understanding how things evolved to where they are in present day's China. The dynamism between these two ends has helped shape the entire social-political landscape of the country. Yet, it may no longer hold true to place a clear distinction between the two with new ideas emerging in urbanization theories. Can we bring bucolic life into the city? Can we create urban convenience in the countryside? Or can we come up with a novel alternative that blends the advantages of the two?
城市与乡村的二元论对于理解中国历史之演进至关重要，两者的互动造成了中国当今社会经济之格局。然而随着新的城市化／城镇化模式的出现，对立地去理解两者间的关系已经不合时宜。我们能否将农村生活的惬意带进城市？我们能否在乡村创造城市的便捷？或者我们能构想出一种取二者之长的新兴发展模式？

The new ZAO/standardarchitecture studio, located to the North of Qingnian Lake Park，was renovated from an aged warehouse, with its old industrial facade still displaying on the street front. The interior has grown from the idea of "room inside room", with of a couple of service rooms floating amidst a free flowing, unified space.
标准营造新工作室位于青年湖公园北门附近，由原址上的一座老厂房改造而成，至今沿街仍保留了原先的工业立面。室内的空间源于“屋中屋”的想法，一些小设施房（包括接待、卫生间、文件储存等）漂散于一个大而完整、流线自由的空间。

Freshness and playfulness are the qualities that first come to mind when seeing the work of Zhang’s firm Standardarchitecture. The shapes have no specific reference but often play a game with geometry. “For me, playfulness means that we allow ourselves a certain measure of intuitiveness,” says Zhang Ke, founder and director of the Beijing-based architectural office. “We try to incorporate intuition into our designs and to convey something of the same feeling to the people who will use the space and the place. Much new architecture takes itself too seriously, especially in China. It’s either too self-important, or it’s irrelevant or simply weird. Obviously I belong to a younger generation of architects. We are aware of the main issues, but we are not so naive as to pretend that we can save the world with our work. As a result we feel freer to explore the possibilities of architecture.”

At the beginning of its 35th anniversary Aedes introduces the architecture office ZAO / standard architecture founded by Zhang Ke in Beijing 2001 and thereby continues its focus on Asia and China. The variety of the office's works include small-scale interventions in the city, large research buildings, museums for Le Corbusier, as well as tourism buildings that have been sensitively embedded in the landscape of Tibet. In Zhang Ke’s projects, the traditional and the contemporary meet to form a discreet modernity that embraces the potentials of local craftwork for new solutions. With Zhang Ke the exhibition presents one of the most important protagonists of todays architecture scene in China, who is forging new paths and opening discourses with his concepts. (Aedes)

As one of the most important protagonists of today's architecture scene in China, Zhang Ke and his ZAO/standardarchitecture has launched solo exhibition Contemplating Basics at Aedes gallery since January 31, 2015. The variety of the office's works including small-scale interventions in the city, large research buildings, and tourism buildings that have been sensitively embedded in the landscape of Tibet, presents that Zhang Ke on behalf of Chinese architects is forging new paths and opening discourses with his blend concepts of the modernity and tradition. The images on cover page and below are respectively the sketches of Hangzhou Xiao Feng Art Museum and Namchabawa Great Tree by Zhang Ke. Both projects are exhibited in the Contemplating Basics
作为中国建筑界中一股不可忽视的力量，张轲/标准营造个展“营造”于2015年1月31日在柏林Aedes建筑艺术馆开幕。展览主要呈现了标准营造在北京的小型干预项目、以及嵌入西藏迷人景观中的旅游建筑等作品，展现了以张轲为代表的中国建筑师在现代性和传统之间寻求融合与开放的实践之路。本期封面及下图分别为“杭州肖峰艺术馆”和“南迦巴瓦大桑树冥想台”的素描图，张轲手绘。

Architects: ZHANG Ke/standardarchitecture＋Embaixada
The intervention locates on the confluence of the Niyang river and the Yarluntzangbu river, a place which remained intact and of an overwhelming beauty. The wharf demanded installations for modernizing and expanding the existing capacities of the area that would provoke a substantial increase in built facilities and the human footprint over the landscape. The proposal is based upon the idea that it is mandatory to establish a contextual dialogue with the landscape scale of intervention.

尼洋河与雅鲁藏布江交汇处自然风貌颇为完整，风景秀丽，而尼洋河岸一带对现代化的需求也促进了基础设施和人文活动的逐渐繁荣。娘欧码头便在此拔地而生。我们的方案旨在与地形和景观发生对话，让空间沿山坡自上而下，从海拔3000m的观景台沉降至海拔2971m的河岸，迂回错综，形成一条悠慢的走道。

Micro-Hutong is a building experiment by Zhang Ke's Standardarchitecture team on the YangMeiZhu street of Dashilar area. The goal of the project is to search for possibilities of creating ultra-small scale social housing within the limitations of super-tight traditional hutong spaces of Beijing.
Located in the Dashilar District, a historical area within walking distance of Tiananmen Square, standardarchitecture has designed a 30-square meter Micro-Hutong that offers a new alternative to Hutong preservation and actualization.

골목 모퉁이를 돌면 또 다른 골목길이 끝없이 이어지는, 비좁고 복잡하지만 베이징의 오랜 역사가 그대로 배어 있는 후통. 보존과 개발의 경계에 서 있 는 이 지역에 실험적인 공공주택이 들어섰다. 소규모 단위 공간을 이용해 과연 극도로 제한적인 땅에 공공주택이 들어설 수 있는지를 살펴보는 작업 이다. 동시에 후통의 전통과 오늘날의 개발 요구, 이 두 마리 토끼를 한 번 에 잡을 수 있는 대안이라는 측면에서도 주목할만한 사례다.

标准的胡同民居应该是什么样子？著名建筑师张轲给出了的答案一定在你想象之外。在杨梅竹斜街53号，走进表面看似破败的大门，内里却别有乾坤。在—个约30平方米的小院里，“悬浮”着5个屋子，向外的—面全部是玻璃窗，需要借助梯子才能爬上去。按照张轲的构想，这里既可以居住，也可以成为工作室、咖啡店或是手工商店。这已不仅仅是住的问题了，似乎涉及到了可持续的生存方式。只是这样的建筑，居民接受起来还需要一段时间，所以目前除53号院外，并没有跟风之作。

By intuition, it seems there are two levels to adaptation: one physical and one non-physical. In the non-physical sense it means, at least to me, adapting your ideas to a place and make it work within it-by relating to its traditional construction method, weather, landscape or whatever material available. ［Unlike a car that you drive and park there, the building basically grows out of it, adapts to what belongs to that place]. I call this non-physical, but in a way it's half physical... And most of our projects fit in this understanding, making them different in YangShuo，Suzhou，Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Tibet or Chengdu. They adapt to the place and local building traditions, but depart from contemporary perspectives. The second aspect, the physical, happens when the building is there and it starts to change its program, or changes due to natural disasters［like earthquakes making it partially collapse, in need for repair］or other type of change.
从直觉上来讲，应变有两个层面的意义：—个是物理层面的，一个是概念层面上的。在概念层面，至少对我来说，它意味着你的思路和想法要适应一个地方，使之可行，而这是通过统筹传统建造技术，气候，景观或当地普遍运用的材料实现的。 （这不像你停一辆车在那里，它（建筑）更像是从地里长出来的，适应所在地的属性）。我把这个叫做概念上的，但其实可以说它是半概念的…我们的项目v大多数都可以用这种概念来解读，这也是为什么它们会因所在地不同而不同，比如说阳朔，苏州，杭州，上海，北京，西藏或成都。它们适应所在地和当地的建造传统，但是以当

Gli Hutong, che ancora compongono parte del tessuto edilizio storico della città di Pechino, rischiano ogni giorno di essere demoliti per aumentare la superficie edificabile, oppure di essere oggetto di restauri che si limitano a riprodurre le decorazioni senza nessun tipo di attualizzazione distributiva. L'Hutong è stato il modello tradizionale di espan-sione residenziale della città di Pechino fino al XX secolo e indicava in origine la stretta strada che tiene unite le siheyuan, le tradizionali case a corte, e nel tempo, per estensione, la parola designa l'intero quartiere composto di case e vie.

『外灘画報2013年7月25日号』は、「中国建築師中堅力量（中国の中堅建築家の力量）」というタイトルのもと、1970年代前後生まれの若手中国人建築家10組12人を紹介している。特集は以下のような言葉ごはじまつている。「中国における建設量が世界の半分を占める現在、しかし国内の主要な建築の多くは未だにアメリカ·ヨーロッパ·日本の建築家によって設計それている。ときおり目にする中国の建築家といえば、イオ·ミン·ぺイ、張永和、王澍、劉家琨、朱ペイなど数人程度。だが、中国の建築家は決して彼ら数人にとどまらない」。本稿で紹介する張軻は、この特集号において12人の建築家のトップバッターとして登場しており、彼がこの世代の建築家を代表する一人として認識それていることが分かる。

在设计周期间五彩斑斓的杨梅竹斜街上，隐藏着一扇黑黢黢、完全不事张扬的低矮金属门，进门之后，一座座颇具现代建筑感和视觉冲击力的木盒子错落有致地相向而立，饱满的木色、利落的几何形态让看惯了胡同老建筑的双眼顿时一亮。这就是张轲带领他的“标准营造”在短短的16天里，从拆除腐朽老建筑开始，以设计周开幕前参展者一贯的神速，为大栅栏“抢造”出的一片新天地。

Zhang Ke in Conversation with Cruz Garcia
From 2010 to 2015 the hunger for urbanization in China has devoured 12 million acres of land per year and a staggering 150 million acres of arable land were consumed by urban sprawl from 1996 to 2010. Facing these revealing figures and concerned about the struggle of the growing urban area versus the decreasing arable area, standardarchitecture has proposed a solution in the form of a colossal infrastructural hybrid that integrates architecture and urbanism, the countryside and the city.

米瑞公路是318国道（川藏线）在林芝县分出的一条旅游公路，这条公路沿着尼洋河谷东岸婉蜒起伏的河岸线向南延伸，在通往雅鲁藏布江大峡谷的20千米距离内，尼洋河谷独特的地貌一览无余。公路沿线的达则村被选为这条观光线路的起点，达则村的可建设用地所剩无多，村口的一片滩涂因此成为修建游客接待站的不二选择。

每年，中国的建筑量占全球建筑总量的一半，但是那些在中国留下标志性建筑的建筑师，往往是美国人、欧洲人、日本人。偶尔有几个国人熟知的中国建筑师，也就是贝聿铭、张永和、王澍、刘家琨、朱锫……但是中国建筑师并不止这几个。许多独立建筑师在体制之外实现着自己的理想，他们的作品频频在国外专业媒体中出现，屡获国际建筑奖，他们代表着中国建筑师的实力。我们用三个月时间，策划、拍摄和采访，希望这个群像式报道能让读者对中国的中坚力量建筑师有些许了解。

On the 7782-meter-high Mount Namchabawa, a 1300-year-old mulberry tree with a canopy about 40 meters wide, and a few huge rocks off the road to the last village Jiala in the depth of Yaluntzangpu Grand Canyon gave inspiration to the designers. They covered the ground with shiny white gravels to make it become a place for contemplation, a memory for all the ephemeral moments in life.
海拔7782米的南迦巴瓦雪山上：一棵有着1300年树龄、40多米宽树冠的大桑树和路边几块大岩石，以及一条通往雅鲁藏布大峡谷深处最靠近无人区的—个村子“加拉”的山路，这些带给设计师灵感——给地面铺上白色闪光的细石子，将这里变成一个冥想的地方，来纪念生命中转瞬即逝的一些事。

Zhang Kes' career also started with a park. In 2001 the Harvard graduate won a contest for designing a grass verge along Peking's renovated city wall and established “standardarchitecture,” an office that he now manages together with several partners.“The name is supposed to convey neutrality,” says Zhang. Instead of show architecture he wants buildings that organically fit into their environment. In the Tibetan Yalutsangpo Canyon he therefore built a marina and a visitor centre, whose striking forms imitate the dramatic landscape. For the material, he used locally hewn stone.“That was an attempt to create an architecture that conveys the feeling of growing out of the landscape,” Zhang explains. At the same time, the 41-year-old experiments with bold urban construction concepts. In 2011, for example, he tried to simulate how public life in Peking would change if the ring roads were transformed into huge conveyor belts. It was less a matter of realistic chances of implementation than of the constant attempt to question the known.“Sometimes one has to dream,” says Zhang, “because then we realise that we are not bound to what we already know.”

ABSTRACT This conversation is conducted through 'Wechat'. Zhang Ke, Liu Yichun and Chen Yifeng are leading figures among Chinese architects born around 1970. Topics are focused on their education, mental transformation and differing interests in practice. During the conversation, the three architects looked back at their different life circumstances and choices, respective interests and strategies, dilemmas and uncertainties. Theoretical discourses such as modernism, regionality, tectonics and ontology are also discussed.
这是一次以“微信”为媒介进行的访谈。张轲、柳亦春和陈屹峰分别是1970年前后出生的建筑师中具有代表性的人物。话题集中在他们的教育经历、观念转变以及实践中关注点的异同。访谈中，三位建筑师回顾了各自在相同时代的不同选择和境遇、兴趣和策略、困境与困惑，并引出关于现代主义、地域性、建构、本体等理论问题的探讨。

Un divano che esplora il rapporto con il corpo. L'architetto e designer Zhang Ke dello studio Standardarchitecture di Pechino ha ideato Topo per l'azienda cinese Camerich partendo, e adattando, il concetto di topologia, che "si caratterizza come lo studio delle proprietà delle figure e delle forme che non cambiano quando viene effettuata una deformazione senza strappi, sovrapposizioni o incollature. Concetti fondamentali come convergenza, limite, continuità, connessione o compattezza trovano nella topologia la loro migliore formalizzazione". Topo è infatti connotato da linee fluide continue che lo fanno apparire compatto ma 'in movimento' se visto da diverse angolazioni. Una seduta 'tridimensionale' che sembra 'galleggiare' e ne incoraggia un uso ludico. Topo ha un rivestimento che, come una spugna altamente elastica, lo rende avvolgente ed elastico per assorbire l'impatto dal corpo, garantendo una sensazione di totale benessere. Il divano è disponibile in una vasta gamma di colori, tessuti e personalizzazione, per una perfetta integrazione con l'ambiente circostante.

White the West frets about the “new normal,” with its paralytic combination of panicked urgency and concomitant complacency, the feeding frenzy continues in China. Zaha Hadid is building a contemporary art center in Chengdu that will be twice as big as the opera house she just completed in Guangzhou. Norman Foster is competing for another mammoth Beijing airport that would make the one he finished only four years ago look tike a skid mark on the tarmac. A number of the usual suspects, including Hadid and Herzog & de Meuron, are angling for the job to design a new National Art Museum of China building in Beijing that, at 60,000 square meters (or is it 160,000-it really doesn't matter), is meant to outdo the National Stadium (aka, the Bird's Nest), which will be next door. While it is probably true that the choicest jobs are still going to Western designers, there is no shortage of work for their Chinese counterparts. Indeed, a common critique of and by young Chinese architects is that they're so busy building that they hardly have time to think. In China, research and experimentation are not so much abstract exercises as on-the-job training. But while the exigencies of contemporary China call for broad strokes-in the next twenty years, Chinese cities are expected to add more than the current population of the United States-the actual conditions are more nuanced.

The building serves as a visitor welcoming centre providing comprehensive information about Mount Namchabarwa and Yaluntzangbu Grand Canyon. It serve also as the “town centre” tor the villagers as well as the supply base for the backpack hikers exploring the canyon. The program includes a reception/information hall, public toilets, a supply store, an internet bar, a medical center, locker rooms for backpackers, meeting rooms, offices for tour guides and drivers, a water reservation tank and a central electrical switch house for the village. The building is conceived as a series of stone walls set into the slope, with no windows facing the incoming road in the west, almost scale-less，an abstract landscape.

Like author，like book, the architect's work shows his style. If we want to taste the excellent architecture, we have better begin with its creator. Zhangke, an architect or from Anhui Province, has the typical Anhui characteristics. He is the first student who graduated from Qinghua Universily and went to Harvard for further study since the reform and opening up.

"Il concetto di eredità si pone su due livelli: il primo riguarda l'eredità di ciò che è accaduto in passato, e di conseguenza l'eredità da progettare per il futuro; il secondo concerne l'eredità propria che proviene dalla Cina, dove durante i secoli scorsi gli intellettuali hanno espresso la propensione di vivere tra le montagne. Così il primo pensiero è stato: tratterè dell'eredità per il futuro. E insieme ho pensato anche alla Cina. Le tre montagne dell'installazione possono ospitare da tre a cinque villaggi. L'imperativo per il futuro è di interrompere il consumo di territorio coltivabile; alle persone dobbiamo fornire metri cubi e non terreno, come accade negli alveari. Il progetto può sembrare basato su di un concetto naif, ma l'intento è di sollevare il problema e porre domande: possiamo portare una nuova forma di relazione tra città e campagna senza contrasto?"

Founded by Zhang Ke, the office now has four principals: Zhang Ke, Zhang Hong, Hou Zhenghua and Claudia Taborcla. Standardarchitecture is a leading new generation design firm engaged in planning, architecture, landscape, and product design. With a portfolio that includes a wide range of buildings and landscapes completed over the past five years, it has emerged as the most critical and realistic practice among the latest generation of Chinese architects and designers. Consciously distancing itself from many of the other “typical” young generation architects, the office remains detached in a time of media frenzy and its focus is consistently positioned on the realization of urban visions and ideas. Although standardarchitecture's works often produce exceptionally provocative visual results, its buildings and landscapes are always rooted in the historic and cultural settings with a degree of intellectual debate.

The project consists of the expansion of the existing standarchitecture studio space to occupy the entire second floor of a formerly rundown Soviet era building. The staircase, semi-circular balconies and intermediate spaces previously occupied by other uses have been transformed into new office space, meetings rooms and a material library. Conceptually and spatially these new additions have been differentiated from the previous conversion through the use of large curved glass windows that offer a panoramic view out into the surrounding trees and the complex beyond.
本项目为标准营造事务所的办公空间扩建。这是一座苏联时期遗留的旧建筑，改造后的办公室将覆盖整个建筑二层。过去的楼梯间、半圆形阳台以及其间的一些空间已被改建为全新的办公区域、会议室、材料陈列室等。这次扩建在概念与空间上都与过去的工作室改建不同，使用了大块弧形玻璃，由此获得了户外树木及周边景观的全景视角。

The project design was inspired by the sinuous course of the Yarlung Zangbo river that is split into several streams which diverge and unite to create a continuous and sensual movement; a flow through the river system.
西藏尼洋河沿岸一带以多山与宽阔谷地为其特点。本项目设计灵感来自河流的蜿蜒离合所创造的连续而感性的动作，就像一股流体穿越雅鲁藏布江。

ABSTRACT The article offers a brief introduction of standardarchitecture's recent work "Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon Art Centre" in Tibet Autonomous Region. The article also raises the issues of "locality" and "contemporaneity" of architecture, and points out that "cultural equal footing" is a critical attitude for contemporary architectural creation in areas with a strong local cultural milieu such as Tibet.
摘要 文章介绍了标准营造设计的西藏雅鲁藏布大峡谷艺术馆，同时讨论了艺术馆的当地性与当代性特征，提出“文化平视＂的态度是在西藏特殊文化的背景下当代建筑得以产生和发展的关键。

The Yarlung Tsangpo river runs hidden in the southern mountains in Tibet; carving some spectacular gorges，that can reach more than 5000 m deep. Near Pai town; at the foot of the Namchabarwa mountain（7782 m）, lies a small valley where the gega spa is located.
雅鲁藏布江位于在西藏南部山区，并形成了一些深达5000多米的壮观峡谷。格嘎温泉位于派镇附近，南迦巴瓦峰（7782米）脚下的一个小山谷中。

The project is located at the confluence of the Niyang river and the Yarluntzangbu river, a place which has retained an overwhelming natural beauty. The wharf authorities required new installations for modernizing and expanding the existing capacities of the area that provoked a substantial increase in the built footprint over the landscape.
项目位于尼洋河和雅魯藏布江的合流处，原生环境保存完好且风景优美。为了促进地区的现代化及提高发展能力，急需加建一些利于人流及建筑物增长的设施。

The main challenges of the project were to blend the new building into its environment and to favor a series of relationships with it. Thus, the material chosen for the enclosure is local stone, which fits perfectly well with the surrounding rocky landscape, and that was used following vernacular techniques. On the roof, a 15-centimeter layer of local clay, called Aga, provides protection from water, and includes the rainwater drainage pipes. Furthermore, the open central space is carved out of the irregular volume and is connected with the landscape through four oblique entrances painted in intense colors achieved with mineral pigments. Though the colors lack symbolic references, their use reminds of the importance of color in Tibetan culture.

Mirui Road is a tourist road that meets Highway 318 connecting Tibet and Sichuan province. This road meanders southwards along the Niyang River. Within this 20km distance to the Brahmaptra Canyon, the specific terrain and landscape of Niyang River can be enjoyed from the road.
米瑞公路是318国道（川藏线）在林芝县分出的一条旅游公路，这条公路沿着尼洋河谷东岸蜿蜒起伏的河岸线向南延伸，在通往雅鲁藏布江大峡谷的20km距离内，尼洋河谷独特的地貌一览无余。

In recent years the young architects, founders of the standardarchitecture Studio in Peking in 2001, have participated in many important international events. Their "credo" is that architecture must express local "spirit" rather than local "form".

The route to the Brahmaputra Canyon in the Himalayas passes through the impressive landscape along the Niyang River in southern Tibet. In a bid to increase tourism in this area, the Niyang River Visitor Centre was created, forming a gateway to the gorge 20 kilometers away. In order to assert itself in an exposed situation where the river meets the mountains, this monolithic structure is virtually sealed off from the outside world.

I due interventi si collocano infatti ai piedi del Namchabawa, una montagna di 7.782 metri s.l.m., nei pressi del Yalutsangpu, il fiume che scorre a quota più alta al mondo. Questi estremi certamente particolari sono di interesse relativo se confrontati con un dato geopolitico assai significativo: il centro visitatori e il giardino di meditazione di Namchabawa si trovano entrambi nell'area sud-orientale delta regione autonoma del Tibet. Prendere atto della costruzione di un progetto di architettura contemporanea, collocato a qualche centinaio di chilometri da Lhasa, ad opera di un gruppo di architetti di Pechino, implica una riflessione su quanto è accaduto negli ultimi cinquant'anni in questi luoghi.

当建筑师张轲在北京成立标准营造，用他自己的话说选择这个名字是因为“它听起来中性，不会引起任何特定的形式的联想”。 “但是在快速发展的中国，对于工作室，就如同公司最近使用的START（Standard Architecture Team）缩写。”张轲说到：“对于每一个项目，我们希望有一个完全新的开始；摆脱一切成见，像我们总是假装什么都未知一样。”标准营造成立于2001年，现在合伙人还包括张弘和Clauclia Taborda（一个里斯本景观建筑师），被定位于中国最新最前沿的一代建筑师。这需要一个新的起点，—

Der Schiffsteterminal wurde von Standardarchitecture entworfen und liegt in einem Tal zu Füßen eines mit Schnee bedeckten Berges in tibet. Weil es sich dabei um die einzige Verkehrsanbindung im Kreis Motuo handelt, in dem es ansonsten keine öffentlichen Verkehrswege gibt, ist diese Gegend besonders bei Wanderern sehr beliebt. Der Kai ist mit 430 ㎡ recht klein, auch seine Funktion ist einfach. Er bietet seit 2008 den Reisenden, die über den Wasserweg ankommen, einen Platz zum Ausruhen, Platz zum Warten auf das nächste Schiff, sanitäre Einrichtungen sowie Gelegenheit zum Übernachten, wenn das Wetter keine Weiterfahrt zulässt. Das Gebäude ist Teil eines kompliziert beschaffenden Geländes. Rampen schlähgeln sich aus dem Wasser zum Ufer hoch, um majestätische Bäume herum bis hin zu einem Innenhof, wo sie zusammen eine Aussichtsplattform über dem Fluss bilden. Der Innenhofbietet den Reisenden einen Aussichtspunkt, wo sie sich auch ausruhen können. Das Gebäudematerial, von der Mauer bis zu den Rampen, besteht aus Stein, der vor Ort vorhanden ist. Die Bauweise ist typisch für diese Gegend. Die Mauern außen wie auch die Wände innen bestehen einfach aus Stein. Für Fenster, Dachbalken und Boden wurde ein lokal vorhandenes Holz benutzt und vor Ort bearbeitet.
接待站位于藏东南林芝地区米林县境内的一个名叫派镇的小集镇，海拔约2900米，这里不但是雅鲁藏布大峡谷的入口，也是重要的宗教转经线——“转加拉”的起点，还是通往墨脱徒步旅行的出发点。设计之初应对了诸多挑战，诸如本地的文化、建筑传统、建筑与基地、建筑与大范围地形及自然景观的关系、如何协调当地工匠、当地技术的参与、在恶劣的气候和有限的资金条件下材料和建造方式的可行性等。建筑的结构体系是传统砌筑石墙和混凝土混合结构。砌筑石墙的藏族工匠主要是来自日喀则，他们在石墙的砌筑上有很特别的习惯和方法，建筑的门窗和室内没有使

在西藏做建筑似乎是一件很挑战的事，西藏独特的地域文化很难找到介入点，在历史中也不曾有过多的交流。对于西藏这片特殊地域中建筑的当代性更难拿捏得准，把外边时髦的东西直接搬过来是对传统文化肤浅的野蛮行为，直接模仿当地的建筑形式则是虚假的复制手段。西藏当代的建筑应该是什么样的？标准营造在西藏雅鲁藏布江沿线做了一系列的建筑，创造出许多让人回味无穷的风景，可谓具有创造性的历史开端。建筑并非简单地将当地传统的符号图解化，也并不是现代建筑形式的照搬，而是自然地将现代建筑形式根植于西藏特有的地域性格中，建筑很自然地从当地生

Harmonious Beijing is seeking a new vision of urbanization and urban mobility for Beijing in 2030. It will adopt a "subway first" development model to replace the "road first" growth model, and new urban developments will take place only along the new series of subway rings of this powerful transportation system. The infrastructure system, a ring of interconnected subway lines and meta-mountains around the city, will form a "linear city center" that can accommodate all kinds of urban programs with a highly efficient and convenient public transportation system. Inside the city, the current roads will be upgraded into "travel belts", electrically driven belts that move vehicles and people around the city at a speed of 60 to 80 km/h. People will not be allowed to drive their cars while on the belts, thus dramatically reducing carbon emissions and at the same time changing lifestyles of the time that people spend on the road.
調和的北京は、2030年の北京のための都市化と都市のモビリティの新たなヴィジョンを求めたものである。そてでは、「道路第一主義」の成長モデルが「地下鉄第一主義」の開発に置き換えられ、強力な交通システムである新しい一連ののリングに沿ってのみ新たな都市開発が進められる。相互につなぎ合わされた地下鉄路線のリングというインフラストラクチュア•システムと街の周りのメタ•マウンテンが「リニア•シティ•センター」をかたちづくる。それはきわめて効率性が高く利便性に優れた公共の交通システムを備え、都市のあらゆるプログラムに対

When architect Zhang Ke set up Standardarchitecture in Beijing, he chose the name because "it sounds neutral. It doesn't imply any specific form," he says. But for a studio that's on a roll, in a country stuck in fast-forward, perhaps it's equally fitting that the firm recently adopted the shorter alias START (as in Standard Architecture Team). "For every project, we want a completely new start, to throw off all preconceptions - like we're almost pretending we don't know anything," says Zhang Ke. Founded in 2001, and now including partners Zhang Hong and Claudia Taborda (a Lisbon-based landscape architect), Standard is positioned at the forefront of China's latest generation of emerging architects. It takes each brief as a new point of departure - a series of existing givens - and has shown itself flexible enough to explore projects both massive and small, spectacular and understated.

Venedig, Ende Augttst 2010. Die „Scuola Grande de la Misericordia“ steht zumeist recht unbeachtet in einem ruhigen Viertel von Venedig. Der mächtige Backsteinbau ist eine Mischung aus Kirche und Zunfthaus und seit 500 Jahren unvollendet. Vor zehn Jahren verschandelte man sie mit groben Betoneinbauten sogar zur Sporthalle, irgendwann soll einmal ein Konzertsaal daraus werden. Im Sommer 2010, anlässlich der Architektur-Biennale, wurde das Gebäude dann ganz unerwartet genutzt: Als Zukunfts-Werkstatt. Im methaphorischen Sinne wurde die Scuola Grande de la Misericordia zu einer riesigen Glaskugel, in die die Auguren schauten, um Umrisse unserer künftigen Lebenswelt zu erkennen.

By using local construction techniques and materials, this project makes a strong contrast between artificial elements and the natural landscape in Tibet. The building relates to the surrounding landscape through wall openings and its unique form and geometry. Colors are used to highlight transitional spaces, and yield a contemporary interpretation of traditional Tibetan architecture.
该设计运用当地传统建造技水和材料，把西藏典型的人造元素和自然地景的强烈对比彰显出来，同时通过洞口、形体和空间的几何特征把建筑和周围景观加以联系。院落中颜色的运用强化了空间的过渡，也是对传统西藏建筑的一种当代诠释。

我建成的项目中，有不少是用当地的材料，但也有一些不是以当地材料为主的。在我看来，没有某一种材料是更现代的或者更传统的，对于我们来说都可以是现代的，关键是要看我们怎样使用它。建筑师比较习惯的是会去考虑用很常用的材料，对我们来说更倾向于“"不择手段”，包括气味、触摸、声音都可以形成空间感，都可以成为我们使用的材料，有些转瞬即逝的材料，对我们，对建筑来说更有意义。
