The concept and form of the "under the same roof" scheme were formed
A exploration of relationship between the urban ancrural areas in the modern social environment and eras
In August 2023, the summary of the "Open Design" course and the selection of excellent assignments for the third year of the undergraduate program of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University were successfully completed. In the spring semester of 2023, 15 outstanding architects in the industry conducted the "Open Design" teaching as design mentors. The course is divided into 11 groups and lasts for 8 weeks. Faced with different challenges, each group of students completed a high-quality design plan, which was unanimously recognized by the tutor and the guest critics inside and outside the school. The design scheme of two students supervised by Dr. Yuan Ye (Wang Zijun and Yang Likai) was selected as an excellent assignment.

The plan needs to design the elder brother's house on the side next to the younger brother's house, the younger brother who lives a traditional farming life and the older brother who has retired from the modern city and returned to his hometown, and the self-built rural self-built house that has been built in the site, with different living needs, aesthetic meanings, and cultural orientations...... The topic requires us to learn how to design within constraints.
The design attempts to realize the opposition and unity of multiple pairs of factors under the family bond. Between urban and rural, between old and new, between traditional and modern, between two houses, people can do so much together, so architecture needs to portray the space between them for the realization of this connection. We proposed the concept of "between", which distanced the new house from the existing house, and set up a restaurant for eating together, a venue for activities together, and a connecting attic between the two, in response to the theme of "under the same roof".

In the design of the additional housing, the designers focused on "replicating" the external form of the existing house, and covered the old and new buildings with huge roofs, echoing the theme of "under the same roof". The internal space of the new building shows different functions and personalities, expressing the contrast with the old building in the form of sections, and intuitively reflecting the conflict fission between "new and old" and "urban and rural". The subtle scale of "between" and the flexible use of space implicitly convey the characteristics of the times of Chinese-style family bonds.
