VI. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
VII. MATERIALS, STRUCTURE, AND CONSTRUCTION
Jishou City is the capital of Jishou Miao and Tujia Minority Autonomous Region in Wunan Province in central China. The region is well-known for its mountainous landscape and hill towns, Fenghuang (meaning phenix in Chinese) in particular. The University is one of the few national institutions of higher education for minority students and aims to preserve and promote minority cultures. Arts are important component of its curriculum. The Jishou University Research and Education Building and Huang Yongyu Museum (Jishou Project) we designed is on the northern edge of the campus and is presently occupied by a number of the departments and their research facilities as well as the Huang Yongyu Museum. Huang Yongyu, one of the best known living visual artists in China, is a Tujia native from Fenghuang and the museum houses both his own work and his collection. The modern Chinese literary giant, Qian Zhongshu, was born in Fenghuang as well. While working on the design, we visited Huang's home in Fenghuang and discussed with him on subjects as broad as art and architecture and culture in general. The design challenge of Jishou Project has to do with how to make two specific connections between the architecture and the site, one is topographical and the other cultural. The site was part of a hillside, a typical condition of the mountainous Jishou region, but was completely leveled before the architectural design took place. The building mass of the Jishou Project was strategically arranged – organizing the low-rise "skirt buildings" into a sloped configuration and turning a high-rise building into a “hilltop” architectural aggregate – so that it reconstructs the original topography. The flattening alteration of the site changed the way human relates to and perceives the landscape. Thus, our design approach is also an attempt to restore the unique man-nature relationship in a hill town. Jishou region is known for its hill town architecture but its heritage is being lost in the rapid urbanization in recent decades. We carefully studied the local hillside architecture. Rather than style, we see small building increments, rich roof-scapes, and intimate urban spaces as essential ingredients of the hill-town urbanism. Our design is aimed to re-establish the scale of the traditional architecture and to interpret the diverse urban syntax of adjacent, (semi-)autonomous structures as different articulations of building elements, such as volumes, roofs, and windows, which distinguish the various programs inside. As the result, on one hand the building seems to grow out of the site thus repairs the site; on the other, the design simulates the architectural multiplicity in a hill town without repeating the vernacular literally. This is still an unabashedly contemporary design of a singular edifice, which however reclaims the quality of life in the indigenous hill town.
Structure: Reinforced concrete frame with steel beams as components of the roofs. Exterior walls: Concrete blocks, a contemporary interpretation of the traditional clay bricks, wood for the projected windows for the classrooms, and glass curtain walls for the lobby and halls of the museum. Roofs: Cement tiles, resonant of the vernacular. Windows: Aluminum sashes. Floor finishes: Local stones and slates. Ceilings: primarily plaster with partially wood in the museum. Mechanical system design: Most of the circulation spaces are semi-outdoor to reduce air-conditioning. The open passages on the upper two levels of high-rise portion allow the music practice rooms to achieve cross ventilation.

An observation: The development of contemporary Chinese architecture in the past decades has been dominated by an array of international formal languages, from European Classicism to Modernism. The very issue is that the identity crisis of Chinese architecture has not been acknowledged as a crisis and, even more unfortunately, this has been the mainstream mentality for architecture in China. A counter argument: We think that architecture can and should help us to establish a sense of where we are and who we are. In other words, we believe in cultural diversity. In case of Jishou Building, architecture becomes part of the educational experience for the students, who are Miao and Tujia minorities studying primarily arts. Besides, there are always specific local conditions – from geography to culture – architects can discover and embrace. A design attitude A local architecture does not necessarily mean duplicate the traditional forms since building technologies and life style evolve constantly; however, it must be sensitive and respectful to the heritage of the indigenous culture. Architecture can make connection between the past and the present. The product of this attitude is a local, contemporary architecture and an architecture of respect and responsibility.

The site was part of a hillside but bulldozed flat, which changed how human relates to and perceives the landscape.

Conceived as a slope leading up an aggregate of buildings, the architecture of this complex restores the unique man-nature relationship in a hill town.
The building elements – volumes, roofs, and windows – are organized according to the hill town syntax.

Programme Located in a mountainous central region, Jishou is one of China’s few universities for minority cultures. This new complex is focused on the arts, with a museum housing the work and collection of an eminent local artist. Based on a belief in cultural diversity, the project refers to the small increments, rich roof-scapes and intimate urban spaces of the local hillside architecture: although the site had previously been levelled, a skirt of low-rise buildings steps up to a high-rise to reconstruct the original topography. By respecting the indigenous culture, the project aims to connect past and present in an architecture that is both contemporary and local.
