R3 Vision
The R3 (Rural Revitalization and Regeneration) is a strategic initiative aimed at promoting comprehensive rejuvenation and sustainable development in rural areas. It focuses not only on the economic development of rural regions but also emphasizes progress in social, environmental, and cultural aspects. The R3 Design Competition is conceived to develop a design strategy guided by "critical regionalism" or "contextualism," intending to propose projects and designs closely related to local culture, architectural language, environment, and economy. The competition aims to integrate resources, improve infrastructure, encourage innovation, and foster community sharing without compromising local characteristics and cultural authenticity. The competition is open-ended, requiring participants to select a plot within the designated area of Shanxiabao Village, leveraging the tourism resources of the region. The designs should embody the principles of R3 from diverse perspectives. Throughout the design process, cultural resources, existing architectural language, and local urban features of Shanxiabao Village should be taken into consideration.
