微胡同是张珂的标准建筑团队在大栅栏地区杨梅竹街道的一个建筑实验项目。项目的目标是在北京传统胡同的超狭小空间中寻找创造超小规模社会住宅的可能性。

Micro-Hutong is a building experiment by Zhang Ke’s standardarchitecture team on the Yang-Mei-Zhu street of Dashilar area. The goal of the project is to search for possibilities of creating ultra-small scale social housing within the limitations of super-tight traditional hutong spaces of Beijing.

在大栅栏地区,一个距离天安门广场仅有步行距离的历史街区,标准建筑事务所设计了一个30平方米的微胡同,为胡同的保护和现实化提供了一个新的选择。

Located in the Dashilar District, a historical area within walking distance of Tiananmen Square, standardarchitecture has designed a 30-square meter Micro-Hutong that offers a new alternative to Hutong preservation and actualization.

通过对胡同动态的审视,我们可以发现,即使在无良房地产开发的威胁下,胡同最关键的问题是胡同居民的无情外流。由于担心设施不足和缺乏高质量的公共空间,他们决定卖掉房子,搬到市中心以外的更大的公寓。传统的胡同居民不断地从北京的中心地带离开,这促使我们制定了一项策略,以挑战胡同住户日益增长的兴趣,从而保持宝贵的生活传统。

A critical look into the dynamics of the hutong reveals that even with the menacing grip of unscrupulous real estate development, the most critical problem of the hutong consists of the relentless exodus of its occupants. Concerned with the lack of facilities and the absence of quality communal space, they decide to sell and move out to bigger apartments outside of the city centre. This constant desertion of the traditional dweller of the hutong from the heart of Beijing prompted to generate a strategy able to challenge the growing disinterest of the hutong tenant in order to keep alive valuable living traditions.

其结果是一个建筑操作,使庭院重新成为一个程序的发生器,因为它通过与城市环境建立直接的关系来激活建筑,并吸引其内部的社会活动。除了加强空气和光线的流动,庭院还在动态体量所包含的生活空间和建筑前部的城市前庭之间建立了直接关系。这个灵活的城市客厅作为从私密房间到街道的过渡区,同时作为半公共空间,供微胡同的居民和社区的邻居使用。

The result is an architectural operation that brings back the courtyard as a generator of program, as it activates the building by creating a direct relationship with its urban context, drawing to its interior social activities. Apart from enhancing the flow of air and light, the courtyard creates a direct relationship between the living space contained in the dynamic volumes and an urban vestibule in the front part of the building. This flexible urban living room acts as a transition zone from the private rooms to the street, while serving as a semi-public space to be used by both the inhabitants of the Micro-Hutong and the neighbors of the community.

微胡同继承了传统胡同的私密尺度,活化了它的社会浓缩功能,同时又在空间上进行了改良。它的轻钢结构和胶合板覆面,使低成本建造成为可能,同时也为北京胡同的未来创造了新的重构可能。

The Micro-Hutong inherits the intimate scale of the traditional hutong, revitalizing its social condensing capabilities, while enhancing it with spatial improvements. Its light-steel structure and plywood panel cladding allows for low-cost construction, while creating new possible reconfigurations for the future of the Hutong in Beijing.
