As China's economy shifts, the built environment is evolving to match a slower pace of life, and a growing middle class is searching for roots, serenity, and calm. line+, a young Hangzhou-based studio, is among firms led by a younger generation of Chinese architects, looking to heritage and nature for inspiration—part of China's cultural turn inward, toward reflection. According to Meng Fanhao, one of line+'s founding partners, “Architecture is a way of thinking; design is a tool. We're interested in the process of social change—in the countryside and urban settings at the same time.” Starting with the Dongziguan project in 2016, a revitalization of an old neighborhood in Hangzhou, and later works including the Tai'an Dongximen mountain village renewal, and Hangzhou's Longyin temple extension, line+ respects Chinese traditions of living together with nature. The studio's designs can be very contemporary, but also always with a nod to the natural world.

随着中国经济的转型，建筑环境也正发生演变以适应逐渐缓和的生活节奏，与此同时催生出了中产阶级对回归本源、宁静闲适的生活方式的新诉求。line+是一家位于杭州的新锐事务所，由中国年轻一代的建筑师所创立，从中国文化和自然遗产中获得设计灵感——这也是中国文化内向、自省的一种表现。line+联合创始人孟凡浩表示：“建筑是我们的思考方式，设计是我们的工具。我们同时对中国乡村和城市环境的社会变革感兴趣。”从2016年东梓关村项目开始(gad时期作品)，而后的泰安东西门村活化更新、杭州灵隐寺扩建项目等，line+始终表现出对人与自然共存的中国传统的尊重。line+的设计语言可以是极其现代的，但最重要的总是在向自然世界致敬。

Meng, 42, and Zhu Peidong, 38, his partner, had both been working architects for nearly a decade, with Zhu going from “paper architect to practicing architect” on 2012's Zhejiang Conservatory of Music while at another firm. “A violent clash exists between historically oriented architecture and highly market-driven societal necessities,” Zhu says, and his approach reflects the effort to strike a balance in China's new urban skylines. Prior to cofounding line+, Meng worked in a small design-oriented practice as well as at a big commercial firm, and saw the same trends, explaining that “the fast urbanization process has halted, and large-scale urban construction has been reduced.” The market forces that drove Chinese cityscapes to be thrown up overnight a decade ago today dictate preservation and renovation of existing structures. Chinese leaders now say they want quality GDP, not quantity; that's reflected in the sorts of projects that line+ excels at.

line+的两位联合创始人——42岁的孟凡浩先生和38岁的朱培栋先生都有十余年的执业经历。朱培栋在2012年浙江音乐学院项目中完成了“从纸面建筑师向实践建筑师的转型”。“传统导向的建筑叙事建构与高度市场化的社会需求之间存在着剧烈的冲突，”朱培栋谈到，所以他以他的设计方法论努力平衡和构建中国新的城市界面。在成立line+前，孟凡浩先后在小型设计事务所和大型商业公司工作，并敏锐地察觉到了行业形势的变化，他解释说，“急速的城市化进程逐步放缓，大规模的城市建设将步入一个减量时代。”十年前，由市场力量推动的在一夜之间拔地而起的中国城市环境，一定程度上决定了如今对存量建筑的保护和改造。中国政府也表示，他们需要高质量的GDP发展，而不只是数量上的增长，这也与line+在各类项目上的发力点相契合。

“The lakes and natural environment create a humanistic setting in Hangzhou,” Meng says. Accretions of the history of humans in nature, and customs embedded in nature are everywhere you turn in Tai'an and the Jiangnan region where line+ is based, but the studio isn't limited to one part of the vast country, or one style. In Hangzhou, the Qiantang River Art Museum shows a more modern affinity, and in the northeastern city of Changchun—an industrial hub with a history of Japanese modernism—line+ created a private mansion on Lotus Mountain, with spaces for Buddhist worship and contemplation of nature. In southwestern Yunnan, the team's Dongfengyun Art Center blends into the surrounding landscape, reflecting the ancient Chinese imperative that man and nature should live as one. Rural revitalization is a government priority (and, in the Chinese countryside, local government is the biggest client), but the pursuit of a calmer way of life is widely shared. From its years of rapid growth, China is maturing into a softer, gentler relationship to nature and its own history; line+ is leading the way.

孟凡浩说：“湖泊和自然环境造就了杭州的人文底蕴。”大自然中的历史积淀、与自然共处的生活习惯，随处可见于line+所在的江南地区，亦或是山东泰安，但line+的实践并没有局限于单一的地域或设计风格。在杭州，钱塘江博物馆展现出极具现代感的亲和力；在东北长春，莲花山庄园兼容佛教文化与自然冥想；在云南西南部，东风韵艺术中心以与自然共生的理念融入周围环境。乡村振兴是政府的重要工作(在中国农村，地方政府是最大的项目业主)，但是更和谐美好的生活是所有人的共同追求。经过多年的快速增长，中国的建筑环境正逐渐成熟，与自然、历史建立了一种更柔和、更温和的关系。而在这其中，line+是引领方向的先行者。
