[Explanation] Recently, after the broadcast of a program "Turn houses in rural areas of Gansu to become dreamy pastoral homes after reconstruction", it aroused heated discussions, and the topic "The worst design of dream remodelers appeared" also appeared on the hot search.
In recent years, this "wind of old house renovation" that has blown from the city to the countryside has also become a hot spot for the public.
In response to this, a reporter from China News Agency visited the "Millions Renovated House" located in Yagoshui Village, Shuiquan Town, Pingchuan District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province.
From the appearance, the house is unique in design and close to nature.
Huang Keliang, secretary of the party branch of the village, said on the spot that in his opinion, the house did not deliberately create a landscape, but incorporated local characteristics and industries into it.

Our northwestern rural areas pay attention to the former and later willows. This kind of big locust tree has been around for decades. The jujube trees have not deliberately built the landscape. The local red jujube trees used are our main industry.
[Explanation] Huang Keliang introduced that there are nearly 10 households in the village designed and renovated, most of which are mainly Chinese-style two-story buildings. The biggest change in the village in recent years has been the newly built houses of every household.

In recent years, our own local economy has developed relatively fast. In some places, construction is based on their different wishes, and most of them are inclined to the second floor.
[Explanation] The local villagers have different opinions on the question of "1.3 million yuan to build a red brick house" by netizens. Young people think that the red brick exterior wall conforms to the local architectural style, while the older ones think it is not practical, but the price is all Means "not cost-effective".

(My house) spent 50,000 to 60,000 yuan (RMB), and it feels inferior to my house. The use depends on the effect. The price of coal is so high, that (style) can’t burn (coal), our house’s corncob is burned. It all works (warm), his corncob doesn't work.

The appearance does not seem to be very different from ours. Maybe they didn't decorate it, so I probably took a look at it and it was actually okay.

We also have this kind of brick house. With this kind of small brick, it has been nearly ten years since my house was renovated, and it probably cost more than two hundred thousand.
[Explanation] 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.
Huang Keliang, secretary of the Party branch of Yagoshui Village, said that at present, the village has invited professional designers to design the villagers’ design styles for the resettlement houses of the demolished households in the village. cost.

If the resettlement is not centralized, it will be a waste of land, and it will also be a kind of (pressure) to the property management and management. For the sake of good management, the government has also thought of various measures.
[Explanation] Regarding the "old house renovation wind" that has blown 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 shelter from wind and rain. Nowadays, they are practical, fashionable and beautiful. Become a trend.
Behind this change is the continuous development of the rural economy.
[Concurrent] Liu Benteng, Dean of the School of Design and Art, Lanzhou University of Technology
In fact, from ancient times to the present, everyone has pursued a beautiful living environment. No matter whether the people in the countryside are the same as the people in the city, it is just that in the past few years, everyone will show special strong concern, which is related to the urbanization process of our entire country.
If you are richer than before, the pursuit of new life will become more obvious with changes in life and production methods.
[Explanation] After the country has become "foreign", will the "homesickness" be retained?
Many people worry that the village will lose its original "hometown flavor".
In this regard, Liu Benteng suggested that architects standing at the top of fashion, when designing houses for farmers, they should first have an in-depth understanding of rural production and life, understand the actual needs of "homesickness" and "hometown flavor", and then give play to architectural aesthetics. If it meets people's needs, it will stay and become the future tradition and the nostalgia of future generations.
[Concurrent] Liu Benteng, Dean of the School of Design and Art, Lanzhou University of Technology
Many architects, urban architects, and star architects think that the countryside is a new world where it re-exhibits the design of rural construction or concepts.
This is a good phenomenon. I want to say that when architects in cities go to the countryside, they often need to make up a lesson, which is to truly understand the production and life of the villagers, their real needs, and their long-term needs.
