Is there a clear distinction between Yangchun Baixue and Lower Riba people?
Design, is it to grasp the focus of the eye, or to pursue physical and mental comfort?
The answer given by Guan Tianqi is:
Quality simplicity, controlled abundance
On May 7, the fifth issue of the large-scale live broadcast series of "Ideology" designer open classes launched by Oceano, Yidian News, Pacific Home and many other professional media in the industry, specially invited Spatial Evolution Architecture Teacher Guan Tianqi, founding partner of Design and Rainbow Stone Space Design, course instructor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, took "Experiential Design in the New Cultural Tourism Era" as the theme and combined personal representative case works of cultural tourism innovation and rural revitalization. Share his unique insights on humanistic care and design aesthetics.
How to define a B&B? Where will China's B&B industry go in the shadow of the epidemic? How can B&Bs use design to make guests want to “stay a few more days”? And how can the cultural tourism industry escape from superficial themes? How to create “exquisite” cultural tourism? Can a design really make a project earn hundreds of millions more? Under the current "rural revitalization" initiative, how will "B&B + cultural tourism" help the construction of China's rural areas? How is it possible to not only stick to “traditional relics” but also dig deep into the local spirit of the place?
At the live broadcast that day, Teacher Guan Tianqi used a rigorous scholar's attitude and combined with rich practical cases to answer questions for the "students" in the live broadcast room in simple and easy-to-understand terms:
“The man behind Daniel Wu”Is it difficult to do?
3Projects will be produced in 3 hours,3Construction drawings will be produced in 3 days,31Complete day
"Beautiful House" was the key point for teacher Guan Tianqi to quickly "break out of the circle". The project was to renovate an old stone house in a small fishing village on the island of Zhoushan. The house had been abandoned for a long time, and even the roof was broken. The design of the entire renovation follows the concept of "adapting measures to local conditions, following the trend, and being natural", respecting the existing building structure but integrating contemporary design techniques.
Due to the limited construction period, it only took 31 days from site inspection to completion. However, through prefabricated and modular construction, the house shows the vision of teacher Guan Tianqi in the design: retaining the roughness of the local rock features and achieving a strong contrast with the new materials to create a sense of indifference.
"In that project, it took us 3 hours to make the plan and 3 days to produce the construction drawings. The entire construction period from the beginning to the end of the design was only 31 days," Teacher Guan Tianqi said in the live broadcast. This is a It is a very challenging project, but it also incorporates my personal design attitude: there is no need for a sense of mission in the ceremony, and there is no need for a sense of ceremony in the form. Technical selection of form and materialsIn terms of selection, I have always been eclectic, diverse and pragmatic, and I do not want to delve into the origin of the form. It is better to be inclusive and suitable.
B&Bs are also accommodations, so you have to be responsible when designing them!
When talking about the design of B&Bs, Teacher Guan believes that we must first understand the culture of B&Bs. "B&B" is actually an imported product, and its specific origin is difficult to say, but in the final analysis it emphasizes a host culture, which needs to project strong local cultural characteristics and traces of the host's life. As for domestic development, the shaping of "feelings" is still a little behind, and the current business format is more inclined to the development of boutique hotels.
As the overall industry heats up and the temptation of profit "cake" becomes greater, more and more people enter the game, which also means that the comprehensive competitiveness of the homestay industry in terms of quality, service and user experience needs to be improved urgently. In this regard, Teacher Guan said, "B&Bs are also accommodations, and they must be designed responsibly and provide facilities that comply with regulations."
Comfortable indoor living atmosphere, distinctive design, diversified theme styles, fresh and natural outdoor environment, and rich humanistic colors have become factors that many people consider. The location of the B&B must have "good mountains and good water", and sustainable development is the prerequisite. At the same time, it is not necessary to have direct flights or high-speed rail, but good basic transportation conditions are also a must. Furthermore, the balance of interests between service providers and service users will be an inevitable factor in ‘staying a few more days’.
Try your best to erase“the traces of design”, the project should convey kindness
As for larger cultural and tourism industry projects, Teacher Guan believes that it is necessary to make it clear that “the design of cities is ‘performance’, and the design of rural areas is ‘life’.Live'". In urban life, due to limited living space, people always hope to see more eye-catching and exaggerated designs in public spaces; but in the design of cultural tourism vacation products and rural areas, experience is the first It should reflect the true state of local life.
Based on this concept, he summarized 8 aspects: The first is "space without boundaries", integrating indoor and outdoor with full-space thinking, and using the structural nature of the existing building itself to create interior design elements. The second is "constructive aesthetics", which is good at exploring the characteristics of the building itself, strengthening its construction language, and becoming a decorative element that does not need to be overly refined. The third is "place and local spirit", which uses local building materials to integrate with local buildings to create a special aesthetic. The fourth is "environmental protection, energy saving and sustainability", which maximizes support for environmental protection through the transformation of old objects and the renovation of old materials.
The fifth is the "dimension of time", which gives the design the ability to last forever, allowing the building to remain vibrant after many years. The sixth is to “always be suspicious of ‘decoration’”, using the spirit of doubt to make the design purer and the techniques more refined. The seventh is to "pay attention to the interpretation of space by art". In the design, we must learn to choose artworks, but we must avoid "art chaos" and let the artworks be integrated into the overall atmosphere of the living space. The eighth is to "adapt measures to local conditions, make the best use of the situation, and be natural". Design is not just superficial. It must understand the real problems of the owner and truly meet his needs through design.
Cultural tourism projects emphasize "exquisite living". On the spiritual level, it means returning to nature and oneself, and returning to nature; on the life level, it means "quality simplicity and controlled abundance". The only remaining "performance" is also for life, so that the design can convey "truth, goodness and beauty".
Designer Open Class InteractionQ&A
Q1 I hope the teacher can recommend some B&Bs suitable for checking in during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday?
Guan Tianqi At present, most of the best homestays in China are boutique hotels, which are much more sophisticated than those in Japan and Taiwan. Friends in the north can choose Ningxia Zhongwei, where there is a cluster of B&Bs; there are more choices in the south, such as Moganshan in Hangzhou, where there are many B&Bs. If you look across the country, there should be good choices. The reason why people are willing to experience B&Bs is actually because our current living spaces are too similar, and we want to go to some special living spaces to get special experiences.
Q2 Can you recommend a few books or magazines that you usually read to designers?
Guan Tianyi designers must be ancient and modern, in fact, they are becoming a hybridist, and they may not be thoroughly studied in all fields, but they must have all aspects of knowledge overnight, and finally they can naturally reveal it in your design technique. come out. In terms of books, I recommend everyone to read "Chinese Craftsmanship: Analysis of Chinese Classical Architectural Design Principles". This book uses a comparative method to explain the inherent qualities and mutual differences between Eastern and Western architecture. In terms of magazines, I personally prefer the British book "Wallpaper". It provides timely follow-up on the latest international popular information, from architecture and space design to clothing and fashion industries. Designers can get information from it. A holistic perception.
Q3 At what stage can a designer try to start an independent business?
Guan Tianqi Designers of different ages can try to start a business. For design, the current society has given a relatively broad space. As long as they maintain a vibrant state and accumulate experience, such designers will gain favored by his market and customers. Therefore, I think this is not a matter of age, but a matter of the designer's mentality.
When you have a certain degree of confidence in your abilities and have the courage to explore and innovate, you can try to start a business. I have an open mind about this. After all, entrepreneurship itself is also a kind of design practice. Even if you get a bloody head, you can start over. But before you really start, you must combine your own knowledge, background, region and customer goals to find the direction and positioning of your efforts. There are many difficulties and dangers in starting a business, and indoorThe starting point for starting a business in the design industry is not high, so don’t put too much burden on yourself.
Q4 How is the old house in Zhoushan renovated in "Beautiful House" operating now?
Guan Tianqi Unfortunately, this house is not currently operated as a B&B. The local government has made it a tourist attraction. You can visit and take photos, but the distance will be relatively far.
Q5 How can designers draw inspiration from traditional Chinese culture and art?
Guan Tianqi From farming civilization, industrial civilization to modern civilization, each stage has its own characteristics and design methods. In this regard, my attitude is that we must be open and not put too much emphasis on personal local culture and fall into a state of self-improvement. There are many excellent parts of Chinese culture, but we must absorb content that has current significance, not legacy. It is necessary to distinguish the difference between "tradition" and "remains": "tradition" has always been alive and exists in our daily lives, such as chopsticks; "remains" have been eliminated and are only preserved in museums, archaeological sites and other places. . Contemporary people should have contemporary thinking and choose good "traditional" content that can be continued to draw inspiration. Travel lightly and don’t be weighed down by history. It does not mean that "all the things of our ancestors are right." The current designers create a new civilization, which is the greatest respect for our ancestors.
Q6 Do you think the "New Crown", a large-scale black swan event, will have any impact on the future development of the cultural tourism industry and the B&B industry?
Guan Tianqi I believe this incident has had an impact on everyone's mentality, that is, they have different experiences and feelings about the significance of ecology and thinking about the future. For me, the biggest feeling is that when our human civilizations are integrated, globalization is inevitable. For cultural tourism and B&Bs, their starting point is the desire for nature, the desire to cherish current life, the people around us, and various natural human emotions, and to discover the preciousness of daily life. Then, this requires the physical space to be more humane, more natural, more environmentally friendly, and more popular, instead of making some superficial things.
I think that the cultural tourism industry and the B&B industry may usher in a big explosion in the future, because this kind of short-term vacation products in China are still very lacking. I hope more designers will join in this field. Moreover, the previous tourism industry was mostly based on sightseeing and sightseeing. However, with the rise of new consumer groups, especially the increase in consumption power of the post-90s and post-00s generations, people’s demand for experiential vacation products will become increasingly strong. Therefore, I believe There will definitely be great development in this field after the epidemic.
