MaJiaLong Village Activity Building
Nanjing, China
Majialong Village is located in a remote rural area on the edge of the administrative Jiangshan village in Nanjing, China. The architects transformed the store at the village entrance into an activity building for local villagers. Taking advantage of the extension of the roof and diversified transition room, the building and landscape were blended to form an activity and communication center in the square at the village entrance. Cost control was the biggest challenge in the project process. Therefore, the materials are completely localized. The bounding wall of the activity room adopted the gravel from the quarry nearby. The roof became an important architectural language and method. Overhanging eaves and the irregular roofs had finally achieved a void space for connecting the site and the building interior. It showed the continuity of the building and created a free and open space. This also provided a potential functional space for villagers’ activities. The openings on the rooftop improve the natural illumination in the building.
The interior light, passing through the roof opening, also became a pharos that guided people back to their sweet home. In the end, an old tree was embedded into the building. This landscape could remind villagers of the old tree in the village, which symbolized the center and landmark of the village. This tree will activate all areas, from overhanging eaves to the whole site, and even the whole village. The project paid tribute to the local culture, inspiring the villagers' love for the local tradition and the expectations of rural development.
