04 2026竞赛已开启！

随着全球多数地区人口从乡村向城市迁移，许多城市已发展为容纳 2500 万人口乃至更多的巨型都市。其中部分城市已然突破传统城市的概念界限，其自身的身份特征已难以被清晰辨识。我们固然能够理解中央商务区（CBD）的独特性与视觉辨识度，然而，“社区”与“社会单元”本身的意义却随之受到质疑。它们是否依然存在？我们栖居之所的场所感何在？承载我们存在的场所精神又在何处？

With rural drift to the cities happening in most places of the world many of these have become megalopolises holding up to 25 million people and some more which defy the concept of city as we traditionally know it having identity that can be comprehended. We can understand the concepts of central business districts CBD of having some distinctiveness and visual realisation however the whole question of community and social unit comes into question. Does it exist anymore, where is the sense of place of living, the genius loci of our being.

随着高层住宅不断提高城市密度，我们共事、交往与共居的社会单元，连同我们的生活环境，也因此面临重新审视。城市面貌日趋同质化，身份认同不断流失，人与人之间的社会交往与互动空间被大幅压缩。随着城市生活成本居高不下且就业前景充满不确定性，乡村人口持续涌入城市的发展模式正受到质疑。与此同时，人们对清洁空气、能源资源等环境问题的关注日益增加，使得小型社区与“村落”单元，正被视作切实可行的替代发展模式，重新进入大众视野。

The social unit of who we work with, socialise, live with, the environment in which we live is under question as we increase the densities of our cities through high rise residential buildings creating a spreading sameness a loss of identity that affords little opportunity for social; inter reactive process to take place. The rural drift to the cities continuing is questioned as affordability in cities and work opportunity is uncertain, and coupled with environmental concerns such clean air, energy resources, smaller communities or village units are being examined as viable alternatives.

我们正处于建立自给自足型可持续社区的临界点——这些社区能通过太阳能等方式自行发电、收集水源、管理废弃物、回收利用旧物，并采用零碳建材延续在地建筑传统。无论是城市还是乡村，已有众多社区实现了农产品自给。信息技术与人工智能正在塑造一个全新的社会形态：远程办公模式日趋成熟，不再受限于特定地点或传统商业办公楼的束缚。工厂与生产场所全面迈向自动化、机械化。这种变革赋予人们选择居住环境更大的自由——无论是偏爱拥有文化资源的城市、渴望接触广阔天地的郊区，还是追求与自然土地融为一体的乡村生活。

We are on the threshold of establishing self-sufficient sustainable communities that can produce their own power through solar and other means, collect their own water, manage their waste products, recycle material of the past, build in the vernacular tradition using materials that have zero carbon impact. There are many examples of communities both urban and rural growing their own produce. IT and AI are producing a different society where work can operate remotely and does not need to be confined to place or a commercial office as we know it. Factories and places of manufacture are increasingly robotic and mechanised. This allows a greater freedom for choice of habitat, whether the preference is in the city with its cultural advantages, suburbia that allows contact with a broader landscape or rural that is integrated with the earth itself.

无论是城市、郊区还是乡村，所有这些居住选择都需要“村落”理念的支撑——即人与人往来互动，秉持共同的价值观，共享学校、商业街区、市集、社区集会等空间，为音乐、美术等文化活动提供生长土壤。最重要的是，“村落”的建筑应以在地化的方式，真实体现其居民的生活与文化特征。关于社交缺失、心理健康问题的讨论层出不穷，其背后往往是“村落”生活的消亡。建筑所承载的“归属感”至关重要，建筑设计更需从生态、社会双重维度回应人们的生活，维系人的身份认同与归属感。

Each of these opportunities of living require the concept of village, where a collection of people have interface with each other and share common values, sharing such things as schools, retail areas and market, community gatherings and meeting halls, where cultural events such as music and art can flourish, and most importantly where the architecture of the village expresses the people themselves in a vernacular way. There is so much discussion of loss of socialisation, mental health issues that have resulted from the loss of village life. The sense of belonging to a place represented by its architecture is important and how that architecture helps in the lives of the people in all ways, environmentally and socially, the sense of identity and belonging.

将被动式节能技术融入当代建筑设计，是人类可持续存续的关键。建筑设计应有机融入这些技术，而非将其生硬、刻意地附加于建筑之上。

The inclusion of passive energy technologies into the architecture of our time is important for our survival and how architecture can absorb those technologies without treating them as uncomfortable attachments.

本次设计议题旨在从三种居住方式中择取其一，展示如何营造具有现实意义的社区：选择城市模式，可依托废弃工业区更新改造，或重构高密度城区，赋予其新的价值；选择郊区模式，应展现社区的凝聚力，而非无序蔓延，并探索如何规划一个具有凝聚力的社区；选择乡村模式，则可呈现融合可持续理念并与景观环境相协调的新建筑，体现真正的地方性价值与身份认同。

The problem will be to select one of the three ways of living and to demonstrate how communities can be created that have relevance. For those choosing urban, a disused industrial area can be chosen or the reorganisation of a higher dense area of the city that can be redesigned to provide new values. Suburban communities should demonstrate cohesion, not sprawl and how to plan a cohesive community whilst those choosing rural can demonstrate the new architecture of sustainability and landscape integration representing true vernacular values and identity.
