2015年，来自不同国家的年轻建筑师刘涵晓、Luís Ricardo和 David Correa成立了llLab.叙向建筑，他们在德国设计事务所haascookzemmrich STUDIO和Institute of Computational Design共事时结识。每位创始人都曾与国际领先建筑事务所的合作，如SOM建筑设计事务所、隈研吾建筑都市设计事务所（Kengo Kuma Architecture）以及位于加泰罗尼亚的普利兹克建筑奖得主RCR Arquitectes事务所，从中汲取了丰富经验。达成创立llLab.的共识后，他们回到了各自的家乡——Luís Ricardo回到了葡萄牙波尔图，David Correa回到了加拿大多伦多，隈太一（Taichi Kuma）回到了日本东京，而刘涵晓则在上海成立了llLab.的主要办事处。

llLab. was established in 2015 by young architects from different countries who met and bonded while working for haascookzemmrich STUDIO 2050, a progressive German firm, and at the Institute of Computational Designin Stuttgart. Each drew on his experience of having worked with leading international firms, including SOM, Kengo Kuma Architecture and the Pritzker Prize-winning practice of RCR in Catalonia. Having agreed to collaborate, each designer returned to his home city—Luís Ricardo to Opporto, David Correa to Toronto, and Taichi Kuma to Tokyo, leaving Hanxiao Liu to set up the main llLab. office in Shanghai.

许多大型建筑事务所都开设了卫星办公室，以监督项目进展，在更广泛的地理范围内拓展业务。llLab.四位合伙人的国籍虽然跨越了三个大洲，却主要专注于中国项目，这并不常见。刘涵晓介绍，他和Ricardo负责解决实际问题，而另外两个合伙人则负责研究材料和施工方法，如大规模机器人制造木材建筑形态、生物灵感3D打印可编程吸湿材料系统等，方便日后工作室建筑实践的顺利开展。工艺和技术的融合也预示了这一新锐事务所光明的未来发展前景。

Many large architectural firms have opened satellite offices to supervise projects and solicit new commissions in far-flung locations, but it’s unusual to find a boutique firm that is focused on Chinese projects being led by partners on three continents. However, as Liu explains, he and Ricardo concentrate on practical issues, while their two colleagues undertake research into materials and construction methods that may later feed into the firm’s built work. These include large-scale robotic timber fabrication at the University of Waterloo in Toronto , and Bio-inspired 3D Printed Hygroscopic Programmable Material Systems. The interplay of craft and technology bodes well for the future achievements of this fledgling practice.

llLab.目前打造了一些令人印象深刻的城市建筑，包括上海兰维乐总部体验中心、广州珠江啤酒桶酒店改造。除此之外，他们还在乡村地区留下了足迹，将设计融入当地的自然环境和乡土文化。在这个过程中，他们和越来越多的中国设计事务所一样，投入偏远村落的更新，鼓励村民留在当地，吸引游客为当地经济发展贡献力量。越来越多人意识到，中国乃至全球范围内的村庄小镇正濒临消失。年轻人为了逃离繁重的农活，转而去大城市谋求发展。老一辈人虽然留在了家乡，抑或退休返乡，但仅凭他们之力难以守住乡村。此外，保护中国乡村丰富的建筑遗存势在必行，而非将这些乡土瑰宝通通变成旅游主题公园。

Though llLab. have designed some impressive urban structures, including a sleek glass pavilion on the Shanghai Bund, and a dramatic conversion of silos in Guangzhou, they’ve made their mark in rural locations, responding to nature and the vernacular. In doing so they join a growing number of Chinese firms who are regenerating remote settlements, encouraging residents to stay and tourists to contribute to the local economy. There’s a growing realization that villages and small towns, in China and around the world, are an endangered species as young people flee the drudgery of agricultural life for the bright lights and career opportunities of big cities. Old people cling to their familiar abodes or retire to their home villages, but they cannot sustain these communities by themselves. And it’s important to conserve the rich legacy of traditional Chinese architecture without turning these rural gems into tourist theme parks.

此前我曾介绍过DnA建筑事务所负责人徐甜甜的作品，她将乡土文化融入设计，在松阳县将近30个村庄打造了工作坊、社区中心等一系列公共设施。llLab.也在开展类似的乡村实践，其中就包括离北京两个小时车程、风景如画的北沟村。北沟村临近长城，交通便利，吸引了源源不断的游客就地旅宿，如若开发不当，当地的本土特色容易遭到毁坏。受到委托，llLab.开展了一系列尊重村落特色、尺度和肌理的实践，打造的”“叁舍乡情驿站”和“三卅”酒店度假村不仅让北沟村变得更有魅力，还为其他建筑师提供了乡村干预的借鉴。

In an earlier report, I described the work of Xi Tiantian who heads the Beijing firm of DnA and has enriched nearly 30 villages in Songyang County with workshops, community centers and other civic amenities that abstract the local vernacular. llLab. is pursuing a similar course, notably in the picture village of Beigou, a two-hour drive north of Beijing. Conveniently close to the Great Wall, it draws a steady flow of tourists to its many b&bs but unsympathetic development could easily destroy its character. That realization persuaded a group of residents to commission a succession of sensitive interventions from llLab. that would respect the character, scale and materiality of the village. Together these additions have greatly enhanced the appeal of Beigou and set an example for what others might do, here and elsewhere.

三卅

San Sa Village

? Fernando Guerra I FG+SG

“三卅”（San Sa Village）如同一片乡村绿洲，是一个占地2000平方米的村中村，原址是一个燃气站。当游客置身于坡顶的两层砖房中，仿佛自己也成为了村落的一部分。建筑之间以一定的角度紧密并列，营造出传统庭院空间的氛围；造型简单，采用不规则结构形态及多样化铺装。llLab.团队使用当地材料，从专业人士和村民身上汲取灵感，经过多年协同努力，设计得到不断完善。这个项目承袭了中国传统建筑理念，但简单的村落布局与葡萄牙和日本的村落建筑也有着相似之处。

San Sa Village could be described as a rural oasis, a village within a village located on a 2000-square meter plot that was formerly occupied by a gas station. Visitors can feel as though they are part of the community while staying in two-story brick houses with pitched tiled roofs. These are tightly juxtaposed at angles to each other and open onto spaces that evoke the traditional courtyard. The simplicity of the forms plays off the irregularity of the composition and the varied patterns of paving. The architects employed locally sourced materials and the design evolved over several years as a collaborative effort, drawing on the varied talents of professionals and villagers. Though the spirit is authentically Chinese, there are affinities between these simple blocks and the rural vernacular of Portugal and Japan.

瓦厂酒店

New Brickyard Retreat

? 存在建筑

瓦厂酒店（New Brickyard Retreat）的风格截然不同，原址为琉璃瓦厂，2010年改建成了酒店。2019年，llLab.接受委托改造现有的三座建筑，突出其历史意蕴和空间特点，采用了当地的红砖和琉璃瓦材料。这些工业建筑的原始饰面，再加上旧址窑洞，与远处的乡野美景和慕田峪长城互为衬托。曲面砖墙围合出一个露天泳池。整体设计古今交融，呈现了建筑丰富的历史层次感。

In sharp contrast to this residential complex is the New Brickyard Retreat, a former glazed tile factory that was repurposed as a hotel in 2010. In 2019, IILab. were invited to renovate each of the three existing buildings to heighten their historic and spatial character, employing local bricks and glazed tiles. The raw finishes of these industrial buildings, and especially the cave-like kiln, complement the beauty of the countryside beyond and the iconic presence of the Mutianyu Great Wall. Sensuously curved brick walls enclose an outdoor pool. Past and present converge, generating an appreciation of China’s multi-layered history.

长城脚下的乡情驿站

Nostalgic Space

? 刘涵晓

长城脚下的乡情驿站（Nostalgic Space）是一个简单的综合体，作为社区的聚集场地，村里的老人可以坐下来闲聊，和游客、年轻一代追忆往事。在建的瓦美术馆（WA Architecture and Art Museum）内部是一个红色和黄色瓷砖铺装的倾斜体块，以90度角和楔形门廊相切。大胆的倾斜设计和充满活力的色调展现了当地的文化特色，使建筑从周围的环境中脱颖而出，并与周边建筑相得益彰。llLab.再续北沟缘，为村民设计了朴素的房屋，以巩固村落未来的发展。刘涵晓说，“我们从村民那里学到了很多东西，并和他们成为了朋友。”

The aptly-named Nostalgic Space serves as a gathering place for the community, a simple complex of rooms where elderly residents can sit and gossip, sharing their memories with visitors and a younger generation. A fourth structure, now under construction, is the WA Architecture and Art Museum, in which a tilted block, clad in red and yellow tiles, intersects a wedge-like portico at a 90 degree angle. The bold angularity and vibrant tones of this showcase of local culture stand out from neighboring structures without overwhelming them. And the architects have continued their productive association with Beigou, designing several understated houses for villagers to cement its future as a viable entity. As Liu observes, “we’ve learned a lot from the villagers and many of them have become our friends.”

Hidden spring spa

山西省玉村的林隐泉（Hidden Spring Spa）项目位于中国偏北部，llLab.通过改造为其注入了新的生命。设计团队修复了坐落在陡峭山坡的石拱形建筑，还新建了两个砖拱平顶凉亭。

Further north, in Shanxi Province, llLab. have breathed new life into the Hidden Spring Spa in Yu Village. This stone-arched structure, stepping up a steep hillside, was crumbling away; now the architects have restored the fabric and added two new pavilions with flat roof planes and delicate brick arches.

竹林亭台楼阁

Bamboo Bamboo, Canopy and Pavilions, Impression SanjieLiu

? 存在建筑-建筑摄影

南方的桂林风景秀丽。在通往印象刘三姐园区露天剧院的路上，llLab.设计了一系列编制而成的竹亭。为游客精心准备的印象刘三姐演出位于漓江岸边的一座小岛，高低起伏的喀斯特山峰为演员、舞者和音乐家提供了天然的舞台背景。天黑后，竹亭犹如灯笼，为游客照明道路；下雨天，游客可到竹亭下避雨。在道路尽头，竹亭将天然竹林和人造景观连接起来，犹如天然雕塑。

And to the south, amid the spectacular scenery of Guilin, llLab. have created a series of woven bamboo pavilions and a canopy supported by their trunks on the access path to an outdoor theater. The Impression SanjieLiu in Yangshuo is an elaborately staged production for visitors on an island in the Li River. Actors, dancers and musicians perform against a backdrop of jagged karst peaks. The bamboo pavilions serve as lanterns to guide visitors arriving after dark, and the canopy provides shelter from rain. They mediate between the natural bamboo groves and the human spectacle at the end of the access path and serve as natural sculptures.

llLab.的作品反映了对创新和工艺的精益求精，正是这些特质成就了这家工作室的完整性和快速崛起，也给下一代建筑师予以启迪。

They are a triumph of invention and craft: qualities that infuse the entire oeuvre of a firm whose integrity and rapid rise are an inspiration to the next generation of architects.
