To say that the most popular renovation plan of 20 17 is "Beautiful House".

Miss Daniel Wu, the goddess of the year, has become an architect, and her charm is increasing instead of decreasing! Beautiful and well designed, such an eye-catching picture is really irresistible.

Last Christmas Eve, the last issue of Beautiful House was broadcast. The program group changed the former mode of "transformation" to "creation" and built a unique library for local herders on the vast prairie.

Daniel Wu's team of artists and designers should work together to build this brand-new house. People regard the desertified land as drawing paper, and use imaginary brushes to enjoy it. The result is amazing.

The library on this grassland not only exploded your circle of friends, but also was nominated for the royal institute of british architects Prize immediately after the program was broadcast.

With the popularity of libraries, the post-80s designers who are responsible for the overall design of libraries are also "on fire".

In fact, this is not the first time he has appeared in the public eye. As early as in "Warm New Home", the extreme transformation of the small apartment shown by this designer has been amazing. He is good at combining technology with architecture, and he was even named "black technology architect".

He is Zhang Haiao.

Zhang Hai 'ao graduated from Tongji University, and has won many awards, such as the first prize for outstanding design achievements of national engineering construction projects, Zhan Tianyou Award, Luban Award, China Design Red Star Award, China-Beijing APEC Meeting Special Contribution Individual Award and so on. He is a hot star designer in China today.

Miss Da was lucky enough to interview this outstanding young architect. It turns out that in addition to this library, his other works are also eye-opening!

It's hot, but not perfect.

The Inner Mongolia Grassland Library is already a perfect work in the eyes of the audience, and Zhang Haiao also thinks that it generally presents everyone's ideas before.

The elements extracted by the library from Mongolian grassland are presented in modern ways, technologies and languages. The combination of modern steel structure with traditional natural stone and wood makes the building anchored in such an environment, showing the architectural form of Manchu, Han and Mongolian integration.

But apart from his own satisfaction, Zhang Haiao still has many regrets.

He believes that the orientation of the building can be more clear and the architectural form can be more simplified. In fact, more consideration can be given to the choice of facade materials and more traditional techniques can be added to the wood structure ... If he has more time, he can present this work more perfectly.

A work that others think is perfect, but Zhang Haiao can list such "imperfections". Perhaps only with such seriousness and dissatisfaction can we achieve the ultimate in architecture.

20㎡ is transformed into 120㎡, 1 space and 6 kinds of life.

Before "Beautiful House" was broadcast, Zhang Haiao was already an "Internet celebrity" designer.

In a similar home improvement program "Warm New Home", Zhang Haiao made several appearances and made eye-catching works. Among them, the most commendable is a set of 20-flat dwelling design in Beijing Second Ring Road, which has become 120 flat.

In this case, Zhang Hai 'ao used the principle of three-dimensional garage to combine lifting floor with folding furniture and completed six modes of "spiritual transformation".

The cost of this new residential technology is only about 1.5 million yuan. If you don't buy a bathroom in Beijing, you can actually get 1.000 square meters of usable area. It is undoubtedly a new idea to save space for super-small apartments in big cities.

Zhang Haiao believes that this form, as an effective means to solve the shortage of housing space in big cities, will be popularized at a faster speed in the future, and he is already doing some mass production work.

Customization and mechanization should be the development direction of future housing.

He also painted a somewhat sci-fi future picture for this young lady: the future housing units are highly industrialized and prefabricated, just like the current cars, the shapes will be very uniform, softer clothes will be used to define the style, and scientific and technological intelligence will be used to manage the home ... The future lifestyle will be greatly changed.

The container became a work of art and lived in the art museum of life.

In the case of Shanghai container reconstruction, Zhang Haiao transformed four dilapidated containers into a mechanical "work of art". He is good at unifying architecture and environment, making architecture beautiful and not abrupt.

A set of variable furniture is used in the container to form a "family+? The multi-functional system of "office+party" is like a "magic cube", which meets the needs of residents in all directions.

At the same time, the mechanical style of cold-tone metal exterior wall is used, which changes the surrounding environment. A few small lights and a wooden corridor skillfully connect the building with the surrounding space and become a whole.

These small and wonderful changes are all made by Zhang Haiao. For the sake of cost control and environmental protection, he reused the remaining materials in the decoration process, and used the local reed poles to break the isolation of the building through some flexible changes.

The ultimate goal of architecture is to understand what the spirit of different places represents.

The container is transformed into a collection of houses and offices, making it more scientific, casual and natural; The yurt library echoes the primitive grassland with undulating terrain, which makes the building disappear in the grassland from some angles, and different places need different treatment.

Move Suzhou garden home.

Zhang Haiao is good at interpreting tradition with avant-garde and integrating China local culture into modern architecture.

When transforming an old man's house in Yangpu District, he sublimated his inspiration from the traditional gardens in China and put forward the concept of "vertical gardens".

Turning the disadvantage of the narrow and high space of the old house into an advantage, based on the complexity of the space and path of the Jiangnan garden, a small and complex space is planned, which is divided into four floors.

Zhang Haiao said that modern architecture has different directions. Some architects adopt parametric design methods, some learn from Japan's "lightness and softness", and some explore structures and deconstruct materials.

But what really sets us apart is our own culture.

In his other design cases, we can also see his persistence in China traditional culture.

In addition to this husband's case, he designed the Kempinski Hotel Oriental Sunrise, 20 14 APEC Summit Hotel, with the traditional sense of rising sun in China as the keynote, pursuing "harmony between man and nature"; The inspiration of Mongolian Grassland Library comes from the Wanshou Pavilion given by Qianlong to his mother. ...

The latter was shortlisted for the royal institute of british architects Prize only because of its exploration of traditional culture, and exploring its own traditional culture in architecture is what real local architects should do.

"Meditation space", the habitat of the soul.

For Zhang Haiao, architecture is not only a place for the body, but also a place for the soul. So as long as conditions permit, he will set up a small and independent "meditation space" for the people living in the design.

The meditation room outside the container house, the attic on the roof of the husband's family, and the stargazing platform in the grassland library are all the same.

Zhang Haiao said, "Their common feature is that they are small in size, look calm inside, and pursue tranquility in the hustle and bustle."

He believes that meditation space represents spiritual pursuit, and eventually architecture will rise to the realm of theology or spirit. He wants these small attempts to be the foreshadowing of a series of projects, hoping that they will become a spiritual sustenance.

Zhang Hai 'ao's Dream House

Architects always build dream houses for others, so what is their dream house like? Miss Big was curious, and Zhang Haiao constructed a simple picture for us in a few words:

Simple, simple and very modern buildings, with brick walls and wood as the main materials, are environmentally friendly and durable. I hope to have a huge courtyard, not empty, but as deep as traditional courtyard buildings. ...

The eldest lady is looking forward to the day when Zhang Haiao's dream house can be built, and then she will visit the quadrangle in his mind.

Zhang Haiao also has expectations for his future work. He hopes to have the opportunity to try and make efforts in cultural buildings such as libraries and museums. This desire is connected with the humanistic care revealed in his architecture.

Advice for young designers

If you can love an industry for ten years, it must have a unique charm. Miss Da asked the students studying architecture for the advice of two predecessors, and quickly took notes:

First of all, it is most important to choose a place where you can grow up quickly, and don't follow suit;

Secondly, take a relatively distinctive road, start from a small team and become an indispensable person in the team.

Being able to talk about design with such an excellent designer as Zhang Haiao has benefited a lot. It is such innovative designers that make our city and living space more and more beautiful.

Continue to pay attention to Uncle Yu, and we will introduce you to more designers with dreams and pursuits, and share their first-class designs and unique views on life with you.
