“RUINS-REBIRTH” Dongjingyu Village Regeneration International Landscape Design Competition

蘇州区の北に位置する村で、その土地の魅力を生かしたランドスケープデザインを募集する実施コンペ。テーマは「Vernacular Symbiosis」。

Description
As a point of departure for Dongjingyu Village’s regeneration masterplan, this competition seeks to respond to the rural revival movement across China and explore the local culture and charm of the Village. Professionals in landscape, planning, architecture and art as well as individuals of cross-disciplinary thinking from all parts of the world are invited to delve into the rustic wisdom and human relationship with nature embodied in the place.It is hoped that with sustained efforts of landscape and cultural intervention, the village will be transformed into a picturesque locus engaging a vibrant and diverse community, which will also contribute to the country’s rural revival endeavors and development of a new rural society.
With galvanizing Tianjin tourism and improving the ‘rural quality of life in mind, the “RUINS•REBIRTH”Dongjingyu Village Regeneration International Landscape Design Competition is developed on the greatest respect for the status quo and historical resonance of the abandoned village. The idea is to undercut its functional and professional aspects while underscoring the phenomenon of the place per se by conceiving an “open exhibition” on it. Reflections on the sense of place is highly regarded, and participants are encouraged to reactivate the reciprocal relationship and mutual influence between design and the site, and to generate a synergy that recreates the Dongjingyu Village,in the philosophical sense and in a human scale, as an extension of men’s will and the genius loci.
