“被拯救的环体”（Salvaged ring）是位于越南芽庄乡村公路旁的一个咖啡屋。业主是当地的一个木匠，多年的工作积累了大量的边角料。他希望为这些废材赋予新的生命，以免被白白丢弃遗忘。在这个想法的支撑下该项目应运而生。


咖啡屋给人的第一眼印象便是从公路向下延伸到河岸的不寻常弧状茅草屋顶。屋顶将两种不同的高度巧妙地合为一体，柔化了下方的制成结构。一条具有异国情调的小道将客人从室外引进由环形屋顶勾勒出的内部庭院。

Salvaged ring is a coffee shop located along side with a highway in the countryside of Nha Trang, Vietnam. After years working, the owner, whichis a local carpenter, has a big stock of scrap wood that he wishes to give another life to them rather than leaving it fall into oblivion. Therefore, anidea that a building salvages these pieces of wood has come to life.

The first impression of the coffee shop is its unusual curved thatch roof that extended from the highway down to the riverbank. That single roof connects two different levels into one and softens the rigid structure supporting below. Guests are led by an exotic route from the exterior to the interior around courtyard created by the ring roof.







众所周知，庭院是越南地区文化和气候条件的产物。同时，庭院还扮演着空间生成器和气候调节剂的功能。为了适应多种功能性和观赏景观的需求，该项目创造出了极具特色的庭院结构—与河流相连的咖啡屋为室内活动提供了平静安宁的氛围，让人们得以远离外部街道的喧嚣。值得一提的是，这种结构还有助于获得太阳能和增强自然通风，十分符合越南的气候特点。然而，由于庭院的过度使用会增加热量和光照，为人们带来不便，因此，设计师利用内部花园、房顶材料和巧妙的门窗布局有效地解决了这一问题。

Courtyard, as we know, is the result of cultural and climatic conditions in the region. Furthermore, it is also used as spatial generator and climatemodifier. In this project, the courtyard is organized so as to adapt many functions and views in the buildings. As the result, the activities are taken place in the peace and quiet inside place linking to the river, apart from the noisy street outside. Moreover, it allows solar gain and natural ventilation, which are suitable to Vietnam climate. However, overusing courtyards can increase the heat and brightness causing inconvenience to people. Inner garden, roof materials and fenestration are carefully considered as the most appropriate solutions.







不同尺寸和形状的废材经过重新加工调整以满足新功能的需求。小尺寸材料被用来制成入口处的百叶窗，这不仅能够阻挡来自公路的热量和噪音，还是一种装饰性图案，将人们的思想拉回多年前存在的古老木门。咖啡屋的主要结构利用大尺寸木材采用传统榫卯技术构造而成。简单来说就是通过任何可能的方式利用每片木材，避免砍伐新树木。此外，除了木材之外的石头、本地棕榈和天然植株也让这个“被拯救的环体”充满了和谐感与本土气息。

The scrap wood, with different sizes and shapes, are adjusted to adapt new functions. The small pieces are exploited for louvers at the entrance, which can prevent the heat and noise from the highway as well as being decoration patterns that remind people about old wooden doors used manyyears ago. Besides, the main structure is formed by larger parts, connected by traditional mortise and tenon techniques. In short, the pieces are usedevery possible means to be applied into the building so that there is no any new trees cut down. Furthermore, except wood, by using rock, and localcoconut leaf, lively materials, salvaged ring is filled with harmony and native feelings.







一言以概之，“被拯救的环体”以多年积累的废木材为原材料突出展现了非凡的木工技术，这个引人注目的木质空间为静谧小镇赋予了特殊的价值。

In conclusion, by taking advantages of scrap wood pieces stocked for many years, the salvaged ring is a highlight for carpentry technique together with striking spaces that can give an extraordinary value for the peaceful village.
