The ancient Huizhou region often served as a refuge during turbulent periods in Chinese history. Its location in the Jiangnan Hills is the result of the Late Mesozoic Yanshan Movement. The homogeneous folded terrain of the Jiangnan Hills provided shelter for early inhabitants, while the rugged low to mid-mountain landscape offered a viewing experience that felt expansive yet was, in fact, intimate in scale.

古徽州地区常常是中国历史乱世时的避难地,其所在的江南丘陵是中生代晚期燕山运动的结果。江南丘陵均质化的褶皱地貌庇护了先民在此栖居,而崎岖的中低山地势则能带来“似大实小”的观景体验。

The design proposal departs from the activities of mountain strolling and panoramic viewing, using the body's "moving view" along circular routes to respond to the vortex-like movement model  that characterizes the evolutionary pattern of Chinese history. This design approach also aims to transcend scenographic landscape design paradigms, placing the subjectivity of historical spirit and the corporeality of individual consciousness at the forefront of placemaking. By doing so, it transforms bodily movement within mountain village settings into a  miniature model that reflects the dynamic spirit of regional history.

设计提案从山间漫步和环视观景的行为出发,用身体在环行路线中的“游观”回应中国历史演化情境所指向的旋涡式运动模式。这种设计尝试也意在突破造景式的景观设计范式,转而将历史精神的主体性和个体意识的身体性置于场所营造的首位,从而促动山村场所中的身体移动成为映射地域历史精神运动的某种微缩模型。
