浙水村自然书屋

Zheshui Village is located in Taihang Mountains, Shanxi. The village and the topography are closely articulated. Many houses there are built by leaning on the mountain. Zheshui Natural library is inspired by this traditional construction method, and the building is attached on the rock. The “bookshelf” provides three functions in this building: column-grid structure, place to seat and book containers. All foundations are light foundations with minimal natural damage to the land. For the sake of saving materials, the timber we used are very thin. The timber columns are 4 cm thick in section, the timber beams are 2.5 cm wide in section. Each structural component is connected to each other to form a stable structural system. The gap between the columns is filled with glass bricks, which is both an internal and external partition，at the same time support building units. The roof is assembled with two layers of panels, one layer is laid horizontally, and the other layer is laid longitudinally. All the components work together to form the structure system. They are structures, enclosed components, and windows.

浙水村位于山西太行山里，这里山岩林立，村庄和地形紧密结合，很多房屋都是依山而建，浙水自然书屋也是借鉴了当地的这一传统建造状态，将建筑嵌生于山岩上，书架既是结构柱网体系，也是可以坐靠的区域，同时也是盛放书籍的搁架。所有的基础都是轻型基础，对土地最小程度的自然破坏。因为考虑到尽可能的节省材料，所有的木料都采用非常薄的料，柱子是4厘米厚的木板、梁是2.5厘米厚的木板、每一个结构部件彼此经过连结才能形成稳定的结构体系，柱梁之间的空隙填充上玻璃砖，既是内外的分隔，也是支撑受力强体。屋顶两层板材，一层横线铺设，另一层纵向铺设，所有的部件整体通过合力达到一个结构的完整体，它们即是结构、也是围护、采光窗。
