由高级建筑实验室(AAL)与中国林学院竹材研究所共同开发的“粘贴竹预制建筑系统”，正试图将中国丰富的竹材资源转化为工业化的建筑结构材料。“胶合竹预制建筑系统”倡导社会生产，并在高水平预制基础上建立建筑体系。

"Glued bamboo prefabricated construction system" ,developed by the Advanced Architecture Lab(AAL) together with the bamboo institute of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, is trying to transform the rich bamboo resource in China into the industrialized building structure material. "Glued bamboo prefabricated construction system" advocates of social production and a construction system building upon the high-level prefabrication.

胶合板调查是华中科技大学高级建筑实验室的一项长期研究项目，目的是通过住宅产品的设计，建立新材料的标准和应用。同时，AAL集成了最新的计算设计应用程序，通过参数化计算辅助设计实现DIY住宅，使设计师更接近其客户。

The gluebam investigation is a long-term research project in Huazhong University of Science and Technology Advanced Architecture Lab, to establish a standard and application of this new material through design of housing product. Meanwhile AAL integrate the latest computational design application to achieve DIY housing through parametric computational aid designing, bringing designers closer to its client.

“N4”是一种基于胶合板的住宅类型，位于华中科技大学，位于建筑部门附近。“N4”型房屋在25天内建成，是一个基于批量生产和制造理念的原型，交付现场进行快速施工。

"N4+"is a housing typology based on gluebam, located in Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the house is positioned in proximity with the architectural department. "N4+" house completed in 25 days, is a prototype base on the concept of mass production and fabrication, delivery to site for fast construction.

近三十年来，随着中国经济的快速发展，中国的城市化进程空前加快。在某种程度上，这一快速城市化进程已成为国内生产总值增长的工具。在独特的政治经济体制下，中国的城市化主要有两种模式：一是由政府主导的城市扩张。二、开发商带动的城市再开发。

In the past three decades, along with the rapid development of China's economy, urbanization process has never been faster in China. To some extent, this rapid urbanization process has become a tool for the growth of GDP. Under the unique political and economical system, China's urbanization has two major modes: 1, Urban expansion driven by the government. 2, Urban re-development driven by developers.

这种激烈的活动大多是以商业经营为基础的，因此产品已经成为奢侈品，而不是对公众有利的商品。同时，除了“城市镜子”和“城市延伸”之外，大多数老城区也没有机会从专业建筑知识中受益。相反，许多地区出现了“自发增长”活动，以农村低质量的自建住宅为代表。

Most of this kind of drastic activities are based on commercial operation thus the products has become luxury merchandise than benefits to the public. Meanwhile, besides "urban mirror" and "urban stretch", most of old areas did not get the opportunity to benefit from professional architecture knowledge. Instead, many areas emerged a "spontaneous growth" activity represented by low quality self-built residential buildings at countryside.

我们的目标是通过应用社会学的建筑知识来“修复”这些领域。据全球统计，85%的建筑没有涉及建筑师的活动。建筑教育和实践的主要目标是为大城市的大型商业项目服务，而不是为农村的小型住宅服务。因此，我们可以很容易地看到，在那些与城市相一致的农村，存在着各种各样的易碎砖混建筑体系和自建住宅。

We aim to "repair" these areas by apply architecture knowledge sociologically. According to global statistics, 85% of all buildings have no architects' activity involved. Architecture education and practice mainly aim to serve large scale commercial projects in big cities instead of small residential at countryside. Therefore, we can easily see that there is a variety of fragile brick concrete construction system and self-built residential in those countryside coherent to cities.

如果我们把公民看作是建筑的主要部分，我们首先要看到的是我们的社会对建筑的需求-为了满足我们多样化的日常需求而对新空间的需求；另一个是当今社会的建筑问题-大多数住宅的建造是否具有建筑的合理性？在这样的建造过程中是否存在准确性的损失？此外，除了商业地产市场外，是否还可能有更广泛的独立做法？

If we see citizens as the main part of architecture, the first thing comes to our vision is the demand of architecture in our society-- demand for new space to satisfy our diversity of daily needs; the another one is architecture problem in today's society-- does the construction of most dwellings have the architectural rationality? Does the loss of accuracy exist in such building procedure? Moreover, is there any possibility for a broader independent practice besides commercial real estate market?
