泥土（夯土）学校:生态乡村之路

Rammed Earth School: 

The road to ecological village

下午，北区营员前往湖州安吉剑山村参访泥土（夯土）学校。营员被分为两队，分别前后参观泥土（夯土）学校、听取创始人任卫中老师的讲座。

In the afternoon, Campers from North District visited Rammed Earth School in Jianshan Village, Anji, Huzhou City. 

The camp members were divided into two teams. Then each team visited the clay school and listened to the lecture of the founder, Mr. Ren Weizhong.

任老师在讲座中先介绍了泥土（夯土）学校的日常，表示泥土学校在生产接待研学的餐食中会融入节能减废的理念，让工作和生活融为一体，非常符合乡村振兴业态。

In the lecture, Mr. Ren, the founder, introduced the daily life of Rammed Earth School at the beginning. He said the school integrates energy saving and waste reduction into the production, reception, research and dining. They managed to combine work with life, which is in line with the rural revitalization business mode.

随后任老师谈到建立泥土（夯土）学校的初衷及现有的建筑技术。

近年来，钢筋混泥土构房在乡村兴起，但大量采砂破坏了乡村生态，而且与乡村风貌并不协调，还带来大量无法降解的建筑垃圾。而泥土建房，不仅能充分利用废土，还更具自然美感，拆除后也可自然降解。

Then, Mr. Ren talked about his original intention of establishing Rammed Earth School and its existing technology. 

In recent years, reinforced concrete construction becomes popular in rural area. However, a large scale of sand mining has destroyed the rural ecological environment. A large number of reinforced concrete houses are not in harmony with the rural environment. Besides, they bring tons of non-degradable construction waste. The rammed-earth technique helps reduce solid waste and enhance beauty of the buildings. It is also bio-degradable.

这也正是任先生多年来推广乡村生态建筑的初衷。

Actually, to popularize rural ecological architecture has been Mr. Ren's original intention for many years. Rammed Earth School is his masterpiece. 

泥土（夯土）学校现有夯土，泥抹面，竹片泥墙等多项技术，能使房屋具有自然协调的纹理和色彩，且更加耐水耐火。

The school possesses the technologies related to mud, such as rammed earth, mud plaster, bamboo-mud walls and other technologies, which not only makes the house have natural and harmonious texture and color, but also makes it more resistant to water and fire.

参观过程中，营员了解了更多泥土（夯土）学校的细节，还亲自动手实践夯土墙。

After the lecture, the campers paid a closer visit to the school, learning more details and trying to make a rammed earth wall by themselves. The waste bricks were fully utilized to reduce waste and save energy.

在此次参访中，最令人动容的是任先生对泥土的实践与思考，正如他所说:“泥土是最高级的、最生态的材料；泥土建筑是跟乡村最为协调的。”

During the visit to Rammed Earth School, the campers were moved by Mr. Ren's thoughts on earth and his exploration and practice in earth technology. As he said, "earth is the most advanced and most ecological material. Earth buildings are well coordinated with the countryside.”

以上就是我们这一天的全部行程，纵然舟车劳顿，每个人都有满满收获。纳米、AI与泥土有机结合的一天，也是快乐与知识交融的一天！我们下期再见！

Moments above consist of the whole journey of our forth day. Even though the journey is tiring, all of us are fullfilling. The organic combination of Nano, AI and rammed earth, is also a combination of happiness and knowledge! See you tomorrow!
