绍兴地处江南，这里河湖交错，水网纵横，小桥流水、古镇小城、田园村舍、如诗如画。

Shaoxing is located in the south of the Yangtze River, known as Jiangnan, where one can get lost in the crossing alleys, bridges, canal network, and idyllic scenes appreciating itssimplicity and leisure.

在开始概念设计之前，我们团队的首要任务是尝试着全面了解绍兴的特点，不仅包括城市背景和地理环境，还有绍兴的历史。作为设计师，由于我们的团队成员都爱上了绍兴水乡，不仅爱着建筑与周围水域的关系，也爱着绍兴人与景观的联结方式。我们爱着这里的建筑设计，所有的桥梁、道路、亭子、空间、通道，都激励人去亲近河流。我们也爱着绍兴的当地植物，希望在项目中使用它们。最后，我们喜爱古代设计与环境完美融合的方式。我们希望创造一个童话般的、亲水而居的项目。

Before starting landscape concept design, the first task of our team is to understand the uniqueness of Shaoxing, including the urban and geographical context, as well as its historical background. As designers, our love of Shaoxing is deep-seated in itsrelationship between building and canals, as well as the link between Shaoxinger and their town landscape. We love its architectural design. Every bridge, road, pavilion, and alley encourage people to interact with the river. Besides, we also love the local planting palette in Shaoxing and hope to integrate it into this project. Specifically, we love the way how ancient design can be integrated with the environment. We hope to create a fantastic waterfront project.

我们可以从水乡绍兴学到什么呢？

What can we learn from the ancient watertown of Shaoxing?

如果您看到我们的项目，会发现它就像是被河流环绕的私人岛屿，是一片极美的土地和建筑。为了创造优美的景观，我们必须仔细考虑三组关系——建筑与空间之间的关系、人与景观之间的关系，以及建筑与水文之间的关系。在整个安澜府大区中，这三组关系也是贯穿始终。而作为销售中心和会所，它更多的体现了建筑与水文之间的关系。

When you catch our project, it feels like discovering an extraordinary architecture piece set on a supremely beautiful land island surrounded by rivers. To create a picturesque landscape, we must carefully consider three types of relationship - the relationship between architecture and site, people and landscape, as well as architecture and hydrology. These three relationships guide landscape design through the design process in the entire residential area of An Villa. Presenting a relationship between architecture and hydrology, the landscape of An Villaoffers visitors a cultural excursion, besides serving as a sales gallery and clubhouse.

通过研究水乡绍兴，我们获得了很多启示。例如，在灵感方面，如入口到达庭院，我们设计了装置艺术一般的庭院水景，以表现绍兴的历史。我们将绍兴建筑的屋檐和岛屿周围的河流相结合，设计了屋顶落水，既可以供人们避雨，也可以营造出雨打屋檐的效果。该精致的水景装置还可以围合空间，隔离街道的喧嚣，形成私人空间。同时，对于参观者来说，他们看到这道靓丽的风景，也会感到非常自豪。这些都是实体的灵感。

The character of the ancient house roof and water network endorses the main idea very much. The design team had got inspired in many ways by researching the watertown of Shaoxing. One is from architecture. The heritage roofs use the imbrex and tegula, overlapping roof tiles, to keep out rain and drain it efficiently. Drawing inspiration from this architectural technique, we create a water feature at the arrival court to facilitate the departure and arrival procedures. Moreover, the delicate roof structure not only captures the essence of the ancient roof but also highlights the dwelling history of Shaoxing. By creating a rain-like effect, this artistic installation becomes the pride and pleasure of Shaoxing architecture andcultural heritage.

我们还从水乡绍兴汲取了环境灵感。我们观察到屋檐是可以保护人们免受雨淋，并将雨水引到排水沟，以及老城的雨水排水管理方式。然而如今的绍兴市，每年雨水丰沛，偶有洪水。在这个项目中，我们尝试了更好的雨水管理方式。我们不想把雨水全部排入市政管道，增加城市的负担。我们尽全力将水留在岛内，或者在排水前合理处理雨水，希望能做到到百分百。这并非雨水使用，而是雨水管理，我们想将雨水引入景观。在晴朗的季节，这是一个雕塑性且带人回到传统江南氛围感的水景，而在雨季时，青瓦屋檐水景与淅淅沥沥的雨点和水声共谱了一曲禅意的协奏曲。

Another inspiration is from the environment of Shaoxing. As we pay attention to the relationship between roof and water runoff, we see the way the roofs protect us from the rain and then lead the rain to the gutter and how they manage the rainwater in the oldtown. Now in the current city of Shaoxing, we have a lot of rain every year and sometimes we have floods. In this project, we try to have better rainwatermanagement. We don’t want to push all the rainwater that we got to become the burden of the city. If possible, we try to be 100% and keep the water within our island, or we treat it nicely before we release it to the island. It’s not the use of water; it’s more like rainwater management that we try to create in our landscape. That’s the landscape principle of the An Villa.

江南长大的孩子记忆里一定有雨打屋檐的景象，临近夏天的结尾总是遇上雨季，绵密的雨敲打屋檐几日，夏天就这样悄悄过去了。“雨打屋檐”是一代又一代住在江南土地上的人对一个季节的记忆。

Children, who grow up in Jiangnan, can never forget the scene of rain hitting the eave. Every end of summer follows a rainy season. After dripping from eaves for a few days, the summer fades away swiftly. "Rain beating the eaves" carries the memory of the season for generations who live in Jiangnan.

然而江南的记忆不该停留在江南人小时候的回忆里。雨打屋檐，时间在空间里被循环——记忆循环、居住循环、材料循环。

However, the memory of Jiangnan should go further than just living in the childhood memories of every Jiangnanese. When rain hits the eaves, it is time to recurrence the space –recalling memories, recycling buildings, and reusing materials.

记忆循环-屋顶空间嫁接

Recalling Memories - Spatial collageof the roof

把绍兴的屋顶嫁接到下沉庭院里，这是对时间的一种再利用。时间和空间都是计量单位，空间里有体积，光影，色彩；时间里有声音，味道，触感。记忆可以被留住，更可以被循环。当场地被重塑，“屋顶”这一重要的“基因记忆”就自然而然的被嫁接进来。

Grafting the roof of Shaoxing into the sunken courtyard is reuse of time. Both time and space are units of measurement. There are volume, light, shadow, and color in space; There is sound, taste, and touch in time. Memory can be retained and recycled. When the site is remodeled, the important "genetic memory" of"roof" is naturally grafted in.

居住循环-老建筑与新建筑缝合

Recycling Buildings- stitch old buildings onto new ones

城市化的过程就是把大多数平房推倒，建起高楼大厦。这种青瓦白墙的南方传统民居在内部使用上已经跟不上时代需求，但他的屋顶空间可以被再利用，形成新的空间使用方式，原本只能鸟瞰的屋顶，可以转变成一个个趣味的花园，供人攀爬休憩，让都市人可以再次体验上房揭瓦的乐趣。将现代钢筋水泥和传统屋顶缝合，让“传统”作为现代室内的外部延伸，是让人开启回归自然的重要一步。

The process of urbanization has pushed down most bungalows to build high-rises. This traditional southern residence with dark greytiles and white walls can no longer keep up with the needs of the times in terms of internal use, but its roof space can be reused to form a new way of space use.The originally bird's-eye view roof can be transformed into interesting gardens for people to climb and rest, so that urban people can once again experience the fun of going to the house and uncovering tiles. Stitching modern reinforcedcement with traditional roof and making "tradition" as the external extension of modern interior is an important step for people to return to nature.

材料循环-瓦片再利用，火山岩的使用，粗糙材料与精致材料的对比

Recycling Material- tiles and stones contrast

瓦的视角，瓦片由陶土烧制，缺乏坚固的质地，但通过重复叠铺，最终能形成巨大的屋顶，这种低调的构筑方式正好对应南方人的性格和居住形态。

In terms of the tiles, although it is made from clay and is lack solid property, it can be stacked up in layers to become a huge roof. This low-key construction method just corresponds to the character and living form of southerners.

砖的视角，砖块一层一层堆砌，是一种老式的构筑方式，静态稳定，不可迁移。但也更容易留存时间的痕迹。但在实际建造过程中发现，砖需要较长的时间才能形成历经岁月的痕迹，因而刚烧制而成的青砖缺少了一些沉淀，所以替换成了火山岩，既保有了砖的拼贴纹理，同时火山岩表面大小不一的孔径，增加了质感的丰富性。

For bricks, bricks are stacked layer by layer, which is an old-fashioned construction method, staticand stable, and cannot be moved. But it is also easier to retain traces of time. However, in the actual construction process, it is found that the brick stake a long time to form traces of years. Therefore, the newly fired greybricks lack some precipitation, so they are replaced with volcanic rock, which not only retains the collage texture of the bricks but also increases the richness of texture due to the different pore sizes on the volcanic rock surface.

金属的视角，少量金属的加入，是为了增加肌理对比的艺术化冲突。这也是“新”与“旧”的一种隐喻，瓦片粗糙又亲近，就像江浙地区小时候生活的环境；钢板精致冷酷，规定了路径和树坑的位置，严肃有纪律，就像现代社会的信息文明。

For metal, a small amount of metal is added to increase the artistic conflict of texture contrast. This is also a metaphor for "new" and "old". The tiles are roughand close, just like the environment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang when they lived as children; The steel plate is exquisite and cold, specifies the path and the location of the tree pit, and is serious and disciplined, just like the information civilization in modern society.

植物

Planting

植物造景的“单元砖”

" Brick module " of Plant Landscaping

和砖一样，植物也是构成空间的媒介。植物设计上，设计师想把地理记忆和空间构造做一次大胆的拼接尝试。每一株植物就是一块砖。植物会不停的把“砖”一块块垒上去，从而实现自身的生长。基于绍兴本地的植物氛围和性状，我们与施工图合作方魏玛共同尝试着选出几种当地植物，作为植物造景的“单元砖”，并在平面上排列出砖砌设计的组合结构。

Like bricks, planting is also a medium to compose spaces. In planting design, designers want to utilizethe local plants to recall the sense of familiarity from people's memory and tocreate a refreshing modern place. Each plant is a brick. Based on the local planting palette and climate of Shaoxing, TROP collaborated with Weimar, theconstruction drawing team, select several local plants as the landscape "brick module" to compose spaces, compliment architectures, as well as complete the overall experience.
