Revitalization Of Abandoned Village Hot Spring

Revitalization Of Abandoned Village Hot Spring

Revitalization of Abandoned Village Hot Spring is an innovative architectural project that exemplifies the harmonious integration of historical preservation and contemporary design in rural development. This transformative initiative, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design category, encompasses a total project area of 13,500 square meters and demonstrates a thoughtful approach to sustainable rural revitalization. The project originated from a personal mission to preserve childhood memories in an abandoned stone village and evolved into a comprehensive rehabilitation scheme that redefines the cultural and spatial dynamics of Denghua Village. The design philosophy employs a three-pronged construction methodology: preservation of existing structures, reconstruction using recycled materials, and strategic new construction with contemporary materials. With a building density of 30.1% and a landscape ratio of 42.2%, the project masterfully balances built environment with natural surroundings, incorporating three essential elements of new rural life: woods, seclusion, and spring water. The architectural program creates distinct zones for social gathering and private retreat, while carefully integrating natural spring water throughout the site. The design's significance lies in its ability to preserve rural heritage while introducing modern amenities, creating a sophisticated hot spring destination that respects its historical context. The project demonstrates exceptional sensitivity to environmental impact through its careful preservation of the spectacular natural landscape and meticulous planning for material reuse, setting a new standard for sustainable rural development and cultural preservation in architectural design.
