景仰書院

位於景德鎮的陶溪川，是溫潤的瓷、細緻工藝和歷史磚紅所堆砌的地區。過去繁忙的窯燒場景，在翻頁的歷史中逐漸安靜下來，然而此地具有發展潛力的文藝能量，在歷史城市保護發展計畫中，以兼具保存與改造的方式，迎接更多嶄新可能。身為飯店的景仰書院，在這股創生的浪潮中落成，建築以群落方式凝聚陶溪川的新與舊，也在敞開與圍塑之間，鋪敘了此地未來的各種面貌。

The Taoxichuan area in Jingdezhen is a region crafted from gentle porcelain, fine craftsmanship, and the rich hues of historical bricks. The once bustling scenes of kiln firing have quieted down through the pages of history. Yet, this place holds potential for cultural and artistic development. Within the historical city conservation and development plans, Taoxichuan embraces both preservation and transformation, opening up to myriad new possibilities. The Jingyang Camphor Court, a hotel, has been established amidst this wave of creativity. The architecture harmoniously integrates the new and the old of Taoxichuan, narrating the future prospects of the area through a design that balances openness and enclosure.

飯店所在地點，是相鄰陶瓷廠的荒廢水泥地堆料場，承載了業主十幾年的工作回憶。業主劉子力曾是景德鎮多個國營瓷廠的老廠長，如今即便廠房已廢棄不用，他仍心繫這片場地的未來，在與清華大學建築學院張杰教授團隊合作下催生陶溪川文創街區。對於景仰書院有著深刻期待的業主，認為這裡不僅是一處提供休憩的飯店空間，部分區域還可以作為園區文化交流的客廳，因此期許建築空間能在兼具敞開的姿態中，與園區串連為一個互動式的群落。

The hotel is situated on an abandoned concrete material yard next to a ceramics factory, a site laden with over a decade of the owner's work memories. The owner, Liu Zili, was formerly the director of several state-owned porcelain factories in Jingdezhen. Even though the factories are now defunct, he remains deeply invested in the future of this land. In collaboration with Professor Zhang Jieat at School of Architecture 's team from Tsinghua University, he has facilitated the creation of the Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative District. For the Jingyang Camphor Court, which Liu deeply anticipates, he envisions more than just a restful hotel space. He sees parts of it serving as a living room for cultural exchanges within the district, fostering a building space that combines openness with connectivity, transforming it into an interactive community hub.

第一次造訪此處的董功建築師，很快地便與業主達成共識，除了留下三座廠房、一座倉庫等空間，也在不砍伐任何一株樹木的情況下，盡可能地維持曾見證此地製陶歷史的香樟樹和梧桐樹群。呼應著周圍老廠房的磚牆，景仰書院中的新建築，採用客製磚體構築而成。此磚體為比照景德鎮當地的燒窯磚尺寸製作，顏色上則精心挑選土地色調的暖褐色，鋪墊柔和的氣息，使酒店建築在一片歷史建築群的強勢磚紅色中，低調、安靜的存在著。而今層疊而起的磚牆，在陽光照耀下呈現立體的光影，如穿越時空般地呼應著歷史，在現代設計的思量中扣合此地的工藝精神。

When architect Dong Gong first visited this site, he quickly reached an agreement with the owner to preserve not only three factory buildings and a warehouse but also to maintain the camphor and plane trees that had witnessed the site's pottery-making history, without cutting down a single tree. The new buildings within the Jingyang Camphor Court are constructed using custom-made bricks that match the size of those traditionally used in Jingdezhen's kilns. Carefully selected warm brown tones that mimic the earth's hues create a gentle ambiance, allowing the hotel to exist quietly and unobtrusively amid a backdrop of dominant red brick historical structures. Today, the layered brick walls under the sunlight display a three-dimensional play of light and shadow, echoing the history as if transcending time, while integrating the local craftsmanship spirit within modern design considerations.

景仰書院以三十多棵香樟樹作為中心展開設計，圍繞、穿梭於樹群的木構迴廊，提供人們更貼近自然場景的路徑。而設計過程中，如何不移動樹群當中的任何一棵，並讓木欄以退讓、鑿洞的方式悉心護樹，如同進行手術般精準地調整樹與環境的關係，成為直向建築設計的關鍵。如今隱入林子的流線廊道不僅是人們步入大廳前沉澱思緒的場域，也是串接各功能空間的中心。人們在移動中，以身體感知從工業廠房過渡為日常街巷的尺度，也為陶溪川注入更為柔軟的感官體驗。

The design of Jingyang Camphor Court centers around more than thirty camphor trees, with a wooden cloister winding through this grove, offering a path that brings visitors closer to nature. A key aspect of the design process, led by Vector Architects, was the meticulous adjustment of the trees' relationship with their surroundings without moving any of them. This involved modifying the wooden railings through careful cutting and notching, akin to performing surgery, to preserve the trees. Today, the cloister discreetly nestled among the trees not only serves as a contemplative space before entering the main hall but also as the hub connecting various functional areas. As people move through this space, they experience a transition from the scale of industrial buildings to that of everyday streets, thereby injecting a softer, more sensory experience into Taoxichuan.

圍繞中央院子延伸而出的客房區，位於北面、樟樹群深處，橫列的一字形新建築面向著蓊鬱綠意，各層樓對外的陽台也因樹群高度的不同，能各自欣賞著樹冠、遠山等不同景觀，同時保有隱私。南面的餐廳和大廳由老倉庫整修完成，在翻修落架後，以鋼桁架延續原始木桁架的形式，繼續述說著空間的記憶。一如業主的期待，景仰書院重現昔日製陶工業的人文意蘊，亦是一處融入戶外與樹共生、讓心靈尋得恬淡的寧靜場域。

The guest room area, extending around the central courtyard, is located in the north amidst a cluster of camphor trees. The newly built linear buildings face the lush greenery, and the balconies on each floor offer varied views of the tree canopies and distant mountains, ensuring privacy due to the varying heights of the trees. The restaurant and lobby to the south have been renovated from an old warehouse. After refurbishment, the original wooden trusses have been extended with steel trusses to continue the narrative of the space's memory. In line with the owner's expectations, the Jingyang Camphor Court not only revives the humanistic essence of the former pottery industry but also serves as a tranquil haven that blends outdoor living with the trees, offering a serene space for spiritual respite.
