  It's not uncommon to see the surrounding remodeled households

  On the 23rd, reporters from China News Service and China News Service walked into Yagou Water Village, Shuiquan Town, in the winter. The vegetation was withered and the cold wind was bitter, showing the desolation of the Northwest. The door to the "Millions of Reformed Houses" of the Internet has been closed tightly. The two locust trees in front of the door are sturdy and upright. The local place pays attention to the traditional custom of "the former locust and the willow, the more you cross it". Only from the appearance, the house is unique in design and close to nature.

  Speaking of this "net celebrity house" in the village, Liu Changkuo, the deputy mayor of Shuiquan Town, said that it is

not surprising that there are nearly 10 residents in the village designed and renovated, most of which are Chinese-style two-story buildings. Secondly, the cost is moderate, and the appearance is atmospheric, living with "face".

  "In recent years, the biggest change in the countryside has been the new houses built by every family. The original adobe houses have been turned into brick-wood courtyards. Many residents have extended corridors in front of their houses to withstand the cold winter wind and summer sun. Others have built new houses. It's on the second floor," Liu Changkuo said.

  Yagou Water Village is close to the Yellow River. It has a flat terrain and convenient transportation. The local development of jujube, vegetable, corn planting, breeding industry, and cultural tourism. Relying on the “East Wind” of rural development in recent years, the villagers’ economic income has increased year by year, and their ideas and concepts have also increased. Is changing quietly.

  Regarding the question of “1.3 million yuan to build a red brick house” from netizens

,

Huang Zhaojie

, a

villager in Yagoshui Village, believes

that the house is novel in design. From the perspective of the materials and colors of the exterior, the red brick exterior wall conforms to the local architectural style and is almost acceptable. It is not obtrusive to say that it is integrated with the houses in the village,

but because of this, "netizens feel that the money is not worth the money."

  Local villager Huang Tiangang said that if he has money in the future, he will choose to build a two-story building, which is more economical and practical.

He introduced that his family has built several houses year by year, and the cumulative cost is only tens of thousands of yuan. "It is really not worthwhile to spend 1 million yuan to build a house."

  Behind the "fashion" of the farm house

  Is the development of the rural economy

  At present, with the promotion of beautiful countryside and rural revitalization, and the continuous development of rural economy and society, people have higher and higher requirements for the durability, safety, aesthetics, and comfort of buildings.

In recent years, self-built houses such as small second floors and villas have appeared in the rural areas of the Loess Plateau. In addition to their practical value, residents have paid more and more attention to the beauty and fashion of the houses.

  Regarding the "wind of old house renovation" that has been blowing in the countryside in recent years, Liu Benteng, dean of the School of Design and Art of Lanzhou University of Technology, said that in the

past, the requirement for houses in rural areas was to protect them from wind and rain. Well, the villagers have more and more requirements for their own housing, which is not only practical, but also western and fashionable.

Behind this change is the development of rural economy.

  In 2017, Yagou Water Village implemented a beautiful village construction project, widened and hardened roads, and provided tap water to every family. In order to increase the income of farmers, the local development of a variety of wealth-making industries, the village's per capita net income will reach 13,600 yuan in 2020.

  Yang Linping, a lecturer at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Lanzhou Jiaotong University, said that the development of rural economy, the change of production methods, the separation of human storage and firewood, the increase of electrical appliances, and the smooth flow of external information are the fundamental driving forces for the changes in housing functions and styles.

  Villagers are frequently embarrassed when they "go upstairs"

  Rural infrastructure needs to be improved urgently

  In the ever-changing rural housing, the problems of rural housing construction have gradually become prominent. The rich farmers want to live on the second floor, but "the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny".

The lack of heating, the impossibility of water supply and drainage, and the difficulty in discharging sewage make the new house become a flashy "migratory bird house". They move in in summer and move back to the old house in winter.

  The "embarrassment" faced by the second floor of the village has attracted countless designers to "compete".

If the scattered farmers want to be equipped with heating, sewage treatment and other equipment, it will inevitably increase the cost, which will increase the economic pressure on the farmers.

To solve these problems, it is necessary for the government to come forward to improve infrastructure construction, and at the same time guide scattered villagers to live together, reduce the cost of infrastructure facilities, and optimize the living environment.

  Huang Keliang, secretary of the Party branch of Yagou Shui Village, Shuiquan Town, Pingchuan District, said that for the next step in the construction of resettlement houses for the demolished households in the village, the village has already addressed the needs of farmers, solicited suggestions from the villagers, and invited professional designers to design styles for the villagers. Undertaking the construction of infrastructure such as central heating and supporting sewage treatment, while reducing costs, it completely solves the dilemma of small second buildings in rural areas.

  The countryside after becoming "foreign"

  Can you keep the "homesickness"?

  After the village became "foreign", the local kang disappeared, the dry toilet was overthrown, and the crowing and barking scenes in the yard were hard to see again. Some people worried that the village would lose its original "hometown flavor".

Liu Benteng said that all the old buildings or objects were brand new once,

and the rural culture that

has been

passed down today

has been

polished and settled over the years. As long as the new buildings meet the needs of people, they will stay and become the future tradition. The nostalgia of future generations.

  Liu Benteng suggested that

when architects

at the

top of fashion

design houses for farmers,

they should first have an in-depth understanding of rural production and life, and use architectural aesthetics based on the actual needs of the head of the household.

After all, the housing function of the house is the first, and the spiritual level is second.
