雨中的亭子 / Sthapotik
A Pavillion Of Rain / Sthapotik

项目背景 - 这个项目讲述了一位母亲和她的儿子的故事，故事描述着城市中一座上世纪 80 年代的老建筑及其周边环境，这座曾经绿树成荫的城市如今变成“混凝土森林”。建筑师来访时，客户正在场地的平地上打羽毛球，在交流过程中，建筑师注意到客户对母亲的爱和责任，以及他对老建筑的怀念之情。建筑师了解到，客户是他母亲的唯一的监护人，他母亲长期患有精神分裂症，需要贴身照顾，而客户是唯一能在她发病时照顾她的人，情感故事成为设计过程的关键要素。

Text description provided by the architects.  Background - The project is an endearing tale of a mother and her son, reminiscing about an old (1980s) building with its surroundings in Dhaka city & the transformation of the once green city into a concrete jungle. The architect met the client while he was playing badminton at the playground located at the site. During their interaction, the architect noticed the client’s love and responsibility towards his mother, as well as the nostalgic emotions he carries about the complex. The architect came to know that the client is the only guardian of his mother, who has been a patient with Schizophrenia for a long time. She requires close caregiving, and the client is the only person who can manage her during the attacks. The story of emotions became the key ingredient of the design process.







概念 - 在孟加拉国这样一个季风性国家，雨是大自然的馈赠。雨对人们生活的影响就像来自世界的祝福，雨滴看似随意的落下，令人心旷神怡，带来一种美妙的感官体验。在达卡这样一个人口密集的城市，很难找到真正惬意的观雨场所，因此，建筑师的设计理念应运而生，那便是在城市中心地段打造一个天堂般的观景亭，可以躲避城市的喧嚣和拥堵的交通。为了纪念这对母子的怀旧记忆，在亭子里营造一种平静的氛围。建筑师希望通过一个类似凉亭的工作空间，与活动场所相得益彰，使用者还能在这里感受动听的雨声，从而创造出一种与自然共生的亲生物概念。

Concept - Rain is the heart of nature in a monsoon country like Bangladesh. Raindrops impact on the life of people just like a blessing in life, both mentally and physically. Rain can be a wonderful sensory experience. It’s relaxing to watch & hear raindrops falling seemingly in random patterns. In a dense city like Dhaka, it’s quite hard to have a place to observe the rain. This was the concept of the Architect to make a heavenly rain-observing den at the core of the city, avoiding the local chaos and traffic; instead, have a calming effect on the pavilion in respect of the mother & son's nostalgic memories. The idea was to create a Biophilic Concept of Living with Nature by designing a pavilion-like workspace, complementing the playground and keeping the comforting rain sound.





功能衍生 - 建筑师希望将现有生态系统的所有元素整合在一起，以自然亲切的表达方式与周围环境完美融合。活动空间是建筑的核心，因此建筑师保留了一个巨大的开放空间，起面积相当于一个羽毛球场，周边还有着通道和混凝土砌块座椅。建筑位于场地西侧，与活动空间相对，因为需要保持私密性，所以将活动空间南北向布置。在设计过程中，现有树木也得以保留，成为了设计方案的关键要素。

Functional Derivation - The aim was to create a design that integrates all the elements of the prevailing ecosystem in a natural and relatable expression that blends seamlessly with the context. The playground is the heart of the complex, so the design approach ensures that there is at least an open space that covers the size of a badminton court, along with a walkway and concrete block seating around the court. The built form is placed at the west of the site and aligned with the playground due to the required privacy of the playground in a north-south orientation. Existing trees were not harmed during the design intervention but rather used as a key element of the design.





这个矩形的建筑包括一个可停放四辆汽车的车库，底层是一个带卫生间和厨房的房间，办公室位于楼上，毗邻旧楼，可以俯瞰整个建筑，这样客户就可以密切关注母亲。办公区可通过前面的平房式长廊进入，长廊与雕刻般精致的单层楼梯相连，在保留的大片树叶下与旧楼融为一体。阳台是一个开放式长廊，是庭院和办公工作空间之间的缓冲区。在社交聚会时，人们可以坐在台阶上或者站在阳台上进行愉快的交谈或玩游戏。对于在办公室工作的人来说，这也是一个令人心旷神怡的空间，可以在这里感受大自然的气息和古老建筑的静谧。最后，利用阳台保护了室内空间，使其免受高温和暴雨的直接侵袭，宽敞通透的开口还能进行自然通风。

The rectangular Pavilion approach includes a parking garage for four cars and a room with toilet & kitchen facility for the caretaker on the ground floor. The office is located on the upper floor, upstairs, adjacent to the old building, so the son can closely monitor his mother and the whole complex. The office area is accessible via a bungalow-style long veranda in the front, connected with the sculptural yet subtle single-flight staircase, blended with the old residential context under the existing large foliage of the trees. The verandah is the open gallery, a buffer between the court and the office working space. People can sit on the steps, stand on the veranda, have a lovely conversation during social gatherings, or participate in ongoing games. It’s also a refreshing space for working people at the office who can experience nature like raindrops and the silence of old buildings. The verandah eventually protects the indoor spaces from direct heat & driving rain. The vast clear openings also allow natural ventilation properly.





材料与结构 - 建筑师通过独立砖雕来制作屏风，将活动空间与停车场分隔开来，与旧楼融为一体，屏风使凉亭与周边环境更加紧密地联系在一起。活动空间使用传统的砖块和混凝土块，有助于增强空间的文脉和亲切感，为确保结构的完整性，混凝土柱和梁主要用作支撑材料。屋顶采用铁板和金属框架，重量轻，有助于模糊室内外空间的界限。材料和结构的重点是将自然融入项目中，突出设计与自然紧密相连的空间对于可持续生活的重要性。

Material & Construction - Independent Brick Jalis has been used to create screens and separate the playground from the parking area, merging with the old residential context. The screen makes the pavilion connect more with the context. The material palette of the playground includes traditional brick& concrete blocks, which helps to enhance the context and intimate scale of the space. To ensure structural integrity, concrete columns & beams are used as supporting materials. Additionally, the built form is roofed with iron sheets and metal frames, which are lightweight and help blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. Material & structural focus was given on integrating nature into the project & it highlights the importance of designing spaces closely connected to nature for sustainable living.







屋顶向西侧倾斜，可以收集雨水，用于浇灌植物和满足其他洗涤需求。在屋顶上使用铁片，可以放大雨声的旋律，唤起使用者对童年的回忆；此外，铁片也是一种可持续的屋顶材料。这个项目展示了对亲生物设计方法的承诺、住宅内的综合活动空间、可持续设计对自然的强化，以及对当地材料的使用--在对开放空间连接的高潮部分巧妙使用混凝土。总之，本案展示了设计亲生物建筑的整体方法，主要服务于自然和建筑使用者。

An inclined roof is inclined to the west side. The sloping roof allows rainwater collection for watering plants and other washing needs. Using an iron sheet on the roof creates a melody of rain sounds recalling childhood memories; besides, it’s a sustainable material for the roof. The project demonstrates a commitment to a Biophilic design approach, an integrated playground in the pavilion, enhanced nature with sustainable design, and the use of local materials—the sensitively crafted use of an open space connection in the concrete climax. Overall, the pavilion showcases a holistic approach to Biophilic architecture dedicated solely to nature and the person who lives in the complex.
