The Report On Macha Activity Center Second Stage Engineering Practice

In the development of contemporary architectural design concept and engineering practice.New-type vernacular architecture through the excavation,concentration of local unique potential architectural elements.Re-interpretation of modern architectural thought.It condenses into a kind of contemporary architecture rooted in local technology and culture,and integrates modern design concepts.In recent years,it has been widely practiced in the world.There are many kinds of new local architecture at present.Many construction activities are still at the stage of experimental and exploratory.There is no systematic design method and comprehensive construction experience system.On the basis of summarizing the experience and lessons of the first phase of the project,this project is carried out through in-depth study and discussion of local construction factors.Since the completion of the Village Activity Center in Macha in July 2016,As the first new vernacular building in remote rural areas in China,which integrates modern compaction technology training,university student volunteer service sites,villagers’ cultural entertainment and infrastructure services,has won good social repercussions.At the same time,the existing construction facilities can no longer meet the growing demand for folk activities.So in spring and summer of 2018,the team carried out the second sustainable ecological construction project in Macha Village,Huining County,Gansu Province.The project aims at further exploring and inheriting the traditional construction experience and wisdom,utilizing the suitable ecologicalconstruction technology,and introducing advanced design concepts,and creating a simple and warm local building,the volunteer dormitory in Macha Village.This project is the second phase of Macha Village Villagers’ Activity Center.Its building materials are traditional building materials,such as raw soil,wood and wheat straw,which are easily available in the locality.The main members of the construction team are graduate students majoring in architecture and surplus labor force in the village.The core technology of construction is modern compacted soil construction technology.The scientific proportion of local soil,sand and stone is added by modern mechanical compaction.A new type of rammed earth building has been formed to meet the needs of safety,economy and beauty of contemporary buildings.Therefore,how to build a "reasonable" volunteer dormitory in the local area based on the existing modern rammed earth construction technology and local traditional construction technology is the core of this study.The main contents of this paper include the following three aspects:1)Macha Village Villagers Activity Center Phase II project design and construction of the whole process of research,explore the northwest poverty-stricken areas of rural construction engineering practice strategy;2)Study on the modern application of traditional vernacular building materials and traditional building wisdom,explore the possibility and feasibility of the design language and modern application of vernacular building materials.3)Local traditional construction technology and wisdom of the excavation,testing and application research,to explore the ecological sustainable potential of contemporary local architecture.
