竹编在中国是一种既可持续又具有文化意义的建筑方法，但由于其复杂性和对熟练劳动力的依赖，竹编正处于深度衰退之中。Sun Room项目寻求应用数字设计方法，以打破这一古老工艺的复杂性-同时探索其在建筑规模上的潜力及其作为当地人替代建筑方法的可及性。在这个项目的过程中，来自香港大学的学生和当地的村民们与最后一个留在北田的竹织工一起工作，重新学习、适应和发展这个传统的过程。

Bamboo weaving is both a sustainable and culturally significant method of construction in China, but due to its complexity and reliance on skilled labour, is in deep decline. The Sun Room project sought to apply digital design methodologies to break down the complexity of this age old craft - simultaneously exploring its potential at an architectural scale and its accessibility as an alternative construction methodology for local people. Over the course of the project, students from the University of Hong Kong and local villagers worked with the last remaining bamboo weaver in Peitian to re-learn, adapt, and evolve this traditional process.

北田村多年来一直是港大研究的焦点，最初的猜测是有关乡村重建和发展的问题。通过这项研究，人们认识到，除了紧迫的村庄复兴问题外，还有一个同样紧迫的危机正在发生-传统手工艺和贸易的衰落，以及这所代表的非物质文化遗产的重大损失。

The village of Peitian has been a focus of study for a number of years at HKU, with the initial speculation engaging with issues of village reconstruction and development. Through this study, it came to be understood that aside from the pressing issue of village regeneration, there is an equally urgent crisis underway - in the decline of traditional crafts and trades and the significant loss of intangible cultural heritage that this represents.

该项目的起源集中于复兴佩蒂安独特的“茶馆”类型学。这些镶嵌在景观中的土木结构，既是当地农民的庇护所，也是聚会场所、商店或小作坊。历史上，这些展馆经常被工匠用来展示他们的技能或试验新的建筑方法。今天，这些结构在很大程度上已经被混凝土和砖块中的普通外墙所取代。

The genesis of the project centres on reviving Peitian's unique “Tea House” typology. These earth and wood structures, embedded into the landscape, act as shelters for local farmers - and also as meeting places, stores or small workshops. Historically, these pavilions were often used by craftsmen to demonstrate their skill or to trial new construction methodologies. Today these structures have, for the most part, been replaced by generic outbuildings in concrete and brick.

太阳房是一个社区空间，为在炎热的生长季节工作的村民提供休息。我们会仔细考虑避风塘的形式和位置，以尽量增加通风和景观，并尊重景观的一个主要特色-受保护的避风塘。

Sun Room is a community space that provides a respite for villagers who work the land in the hot growing season. The form and siting of the shelter are carefully considered to maximise ventilation and view and to respect protected viewsheds that are a major feature of the landscape.
