Yin & Yang house in Germany’s countryside will provide a small family the resources to grow all of their own food for a self-sufficient lifestyle whilst establishing a harmonious dialogue between the living and working spaces in the home. Addressing our detachment with the origins of our food and the unsustainable industrial agriculture, the house will become a living organism that will transform as the seasons' pass, sculpted by nature.

每当建筑师设计一座建筑时，他们都会把原本属于自然的地方拿走。我们试着把这个空间还给屋顶上的植物。同时，我们还为冬季拥有温室的业主提供了园艺系统，并为今年余下的时间提供了一排排种植园-Penda的创始合伙人-基督普雷希特。

Whenever architects design a building, they take an area away that used to belong to nature. We try to give this space back to plants on the roof. At the same time we provide a gardening-system for the owners with greenhouses in winter and rows of planters for the rest of the year – Christ Precht, founding partner of Penda.

继续与自然的关系，房子的屋顶本身将是一个景观；在相对角落的两个山峰将形成山脉，一个山谷将流过。上升的屋顶也将促进雨水收集，将水输送到地面，以便在干旱的日子对植物进行再利用。依年份而定

Continuing the relation with nature, the roof of the house will be a landscape in itself; two peaks in opposite corners will form mountains that a valley will run through. The ascending roof will also facilitate rainwater harvesting that channels the water to the ground to be reused on dry days for the plants. Depending on the time of year Yin & Yang house will evolve and grow. In the design, Penda has integrated flexible greenhouses for the winter months and gardening planters for herbs, vegetables and fruit on the roof.

“种植自己的草药、蔬菜和水果，改变了我们与食物的关系。在花园里，我们尽可能多地增加日常营养，“唐飞说。“你知道你吃了什么，尝到了你自己花园里的工作和爱。真正的食物成为你身份的一部分。就像建筑一样。在一个和谐的设计中，把两者结合在一起，为农村的小块土地提供一个诗意的形象。“

“Growing your own herbs, vegetables and fruits, changes our relationship to food. In our garden, we try to grow as much of our daily nutrition as somehow possible,” says Fei Tang. “You know what you eat and taste the work and love that comes from your own garden. Real food becomes part of your identity. The same way that architecture does. To combine both in one harmonious design, gives a poetic image for a small plot on the countryside.”

当建筑支撑着我们所吃的食物时，它就不仅仅是一座“建筑”了-在那些熙熙攘攘的城市里，这是一种罕见的情况。彭达呼吁其他建筑师采取这一策略，鼓励年轻一代的创意人员搬到农村去。阴

When architecture supports the food we eat, it becomes so much more than just a “building” - a rare situation when it comes to the ever-bustling cities. Penda is calling other architects to adopt this strategy to encourage the younger generation of creatives to move to the countryside. The Yin & Yang house was exhibited at the Documenta in Kassel, Germany, as part of an effort from architects to revive the region of Edersee.
