PROFACE 前言
In Guangxi province of China, there is a village, near the mountain and by the river, built down the hillside. The local houses use stones as the foundation, rammed earth as the wall, and tiles as the roof, standing here for hundreds of years, unknown. 
There are a group of famous architects from home and abroad who are experts of the rammed earth buildings. They focus on the old village and want to explore the inheritance and innovation, the culture and architecture, its history and sustainable development. They will invite students of architecture major from all over the world to discuss and think about the old village’s development through their knowledge and creation to find a road of “Back to the Future”. 
Eyes are all on Guming Village, Guangxi.
在中国广西，有一个村落，坐落高山盆地，前临平湖，依山逐级而建。全村民居夯土而成，垒石做地基，筑夯土作围墙，瓦顶以蔽日。不为人知，独守数百年，建筑屹立不倒。


不仅在中国，在国际上，有一群建筑学者，同样专注于夯土建筑，思索传承与创新、文化与建筑、历史与可持续发展。现在，他们共同邀请来自世界各地的建筑学学生，面对古村落思考探索，用专业和权威、朝气和创新，寻求一条通往未来的发展道路。
目光，聚焦在广西“鼓鸣寨”。


BACKGROUND FEATURE背景
The opportunity of a small community to become emblematic for a sustainable development vision, supporting one of the possible next scenarios in China, may be the key for the success of a land where smart strategies and sensitive design themes are acquired through knowledge and creativity. Today, Guming Village, a group of old rammed earth houses, mirroring into a small lake, in Guangxi Province, China, is under the lights of the cultural world, reclaiming the dignity of its traditional technologies, but opening its quiet spaces to new sustainable solutions. 
“Back to the future” is a reverse approach which imagines a system moving in two opposite directions at the same time, to balance the life of everything influenced by this place. It’s the desire to disclose the identity of this system, merging it with the history and the future of the land. The competition, pointing at the existing delicate equilibrium of the village, through a creative and visionary intervention based on real needs from different parties, invites students all over the world to propose unique and sustainable solutions which may set up the possible development strategy, turning back to the future. This call to reflect about a change of direction, supported by local parties and a special expert’s committee, is the opportunity to recall the “Genius Loci”, in a place where its value is recognized in its own identity.
鼓鸣寨，坐落于中国广西省上林县，地处大明山脉，面对古民水库，依山伴水，环境优美；大部分建筑为清代和民国时期修建，原生态的质朴。此次国际设计大赛，依托广西上林县现存保护最好、规模最大的壮民族夯土建筑古村落及半封闭的原生态环境，旨在通过对鼓鸣寨古村落的研究与设计，引起国内国际社会对如何充分发现和挖掘古村落和古村落价值的共同思考，传承古村落的历史文化价值，对中国古村落的保护与开发起到示范和引领作用。


“未来之路”，是对当地各方面因素的综合考虑，同时沿两个相反的方向，搜寻一种将与历史和未来交融的当地“价值认同”。此次竞赛，得到了当地政府和专业评审大力支持，基于不同群体的实际需要，企图唤起社会对古寨现状的关注；将邀请来自世界各地的学生提出独特的和可持续的解决方案来重新探讨当地发展策略，通过创造性的和有远见性的干预，积极探索及挖掘能够体现当地价值的“地域特色”，寻求一条未来之路。


MISSION竞赛愿景
Participants should engage with the exploration and resolution of placing new urban design solutions in a unique natural setting; how these solutions can be inspired by the cultural, physical, and environmental aspects of its site; how the program of the proposals is influenced by the urban conditions of the site and how the urban design solutions respond to sustainable urban recover. Specific attentions to local cultures (Zhuang ethnicity in Shanglin) and materials can be considered in terms of research. Proposals should evidence a clear sense of integration with environment and existing biodiversity, through simple and sustainable solutions. A business model, which uses a circular economy, attracting people with optional transport systems paying attention and biological areas, but recovering back the image of the village, is expected to be considered by the design solutions, within a self sustainable energy concept.
参赛者将参与探索这个独特的场地，并为其提供新的城市设计解决方案；在设计中需体现对所选地块的文化、自然、环境等等因素所做的回应；如何与当地的城市设计联系，如何应对城市修复等问题，特别要关注研究地方文化(壮族文化)和当地传统材料。用简单而生态的设计方案，清晰地表达与环境、当地材料、已有生物多样性的关系，形成循环经济的商业模式，吸引人们前往的同时，对当地的交通和环境体系不造成压力，以自我可持续的概念，树立古寨的新形象。
