TAO (TRACE ARCHITECTURE OFFICE)
Founded by Hua Li in 2009, TAO (TRACE ARCHITECTURE OFFICE) is a Beijing based
design studio committed to architecture, urban, landscape, and furniture
design. Being critical at contemporary architecture as an obsession to fancy
forms and becoming fashions or dogmas in the context of media driven globalized
consumerism, TAO pursues essence of architecture with poetics of space and
clarity of tectonics. With their most projects positioned in specific cultural
and natural settings in China, TAO makes architecture deeply rooted in its
social and environmental context with respect of its gravity. The sense of
place, response to climate, efficient use of local resource, appropriate
material and construction method, such issues are always explored in every TAO
project responding to its specific context. TAO has realized several award
wining projects including Museum of Handcraft Paper in Yunnan and XiaoQuan
Elementary School in Sichuan. Their works have been recognized and published
widely both in China and internationally.
TAO (TRACE ARCHITECTURE OFFICE) 迹. 建筑事务所由华黎创立于北京,是一家从事建
筑、城市、景观及家具设计的设计事务所。TAO对当代建筑在全球化的消费主义语境下沦为
时尚符号或形式教条持批判性的态度,反之,TAO关注通过空间的诗意和建构的清晰来呈现
建筑的本质意义。TAO的项目大多处于具有特殊的地域文化和自然景观的环境中,因此TAO
的工作致力于深入理解和尊重项目此时此地的条件,营造根植于当地社会土壤和环境生态
的当代建筑和景观。场所意义营造、场地及气候回应、本地资源合理利用,以及适宜的材
料与建造方式等命题的探讨,构成了TAO每个项目工作的核心内容。自成立以来,TAO的建
成作品得到国内外诸多建筑媒体的广泛报道和出版,并参加了多项展览。2012年孝泉民族
小学和高黎贡手工造纸博物馆项目同时荣获美国《建筑实录》杂志“好设计创造好效
益”中国奖的“最佳公共建筑奖”。
About the courtyard house of TAO
In 2012 TAO moved to a small courtyard house in Hutong area of Beijing due to
the demolition of factory when previous office was located.
The physical space in courtyard is little tight for the office, however the
courtyard offers sky, tree, sunlight, breeze, ground and roof to us and creates
a pleasant and warm atmosphere for a working environment. Thus setting free
more space in mind.
The house is not so old, but its details give an ancient feeling—window
frames, inscribed board, Queti, color painting, and moss on brick wall.These
things make the time slower, reminding us slow down the working pace. The vivid
color and rich details in courtyard house also tells the fact: architecture is
not abstract. It is exactly the sensation and memory to these details, colors,
and atmosphere make the real architecture alive.
Courtyard house is a typical introversive space with its boundary defined. We
say that by living here physical boundary will help us not to expand blindly.
Well the quiet courtyard can help us to introspect more. In a time while one is
always distracted by outside noise, the introspection to heart is even more
important. The intimate scale of courtyard shortens the distance and makes the
communication among teams closer. Its dispersive layout makes the corners for
independent working possible. The only problem of courtyard house is lack of
storage space. When more and more models produced in studio, we may need to dig
into ground.
关于TAO的小院
2012年因为原来所在的厂房拆除,TAO搬进了北京旧城胡同里的一座小四合院。开始原本觉
得用起来有点局促的空间,后来却因小院有着天空、枣树、阳光、微风,以及能接地气、
能上房顶而带来更加轻松和亲切的工作氛围,为我们释放出更多内心的空间。院子本身并
不太老,但房子的细节处处都透着古意,花窗、牌匾、雀替、彩画、青砖墙上的青苔,这
些东西让时间变慢,提醒我们不要工作得太快了。而老房子里浓烈的色彩和丰富的细节也
在述说一个事实:建筑不是抽象的,正是这些对细节、色彩、氛围的感受和记忆才构成了
有生命的建筑。
四合院是典型的内向空间,外部边界确定。我们戏说这样可以用物理边界来限制事务所的
盲目扩张。而安静的小院也有助于我们更多地内省。在这样一个很容易被外部喧嚣所干扰
的时代,指向内心的观照尤其重要。此外,四合院小巧的尺度使大家可以近距离地交流,
而分散的格局又提供了一些可以独立工作和思考的角落。唯一的问题是模型越做越多,会
没地方放,那时或许只有掘地三尺了
