近日，第七届全国大学生“木憩”搭建设计竞赛（辽宁省大学生建筑创新设计竞赛暨东北三省适老化建筑设计竞赛）在锦州义县奉国寺南广场圆满落幕。本次大赛中，由建筑与规划学院教师陈瑶、李聃指导，来自尼日利亚、坦桑尼亚、马里等五个非洲国家的2024级留学生团队，以作品《Twilight of Glory（余晖荣光）》荣获全国二等奖；由建筑与规划学院教师郝妙琦、王谦辞指导，建筑学专业中国学生团队作品《线性独白》斩获全国三等奖。
留学生团队作品《余晖荣光》以中国国旗五角星为核心设计意象，寓意各国学子来华求学、同心相融。作品有机结合非洲传统手工编织木片、麻布肌理与现代螺旋彩玻光影艺术，依托分层递进的木构空间，兼顾长者休憩回望的实用功能与青年求索向上的精神内涵。中国学生团队获奖作品《线性独白》聚焦适老化设计核心需求，以横竖正交的线性木构为主体骨架，横向构件延伸为休憩、遮阳界面，竖向杆件构筑稳固轻盈的受力体系。交错镂空的构件肌理让自然光穿梭流转，形成秩序井然的动态光影。
备赛的整整一个月里，指导老师全程跟进、精准点拨，留学生团队更是与指导教师紧密协作、同心攻坚。面对语言沟通壁垒和中式木构工艺晦涩难懂的双重难题，师生并肩研讨破解办法。全体指导教师细致拆解榫卯构造、讲解传统营造技法，耐心纠正构件加工偏差；同学们潜心钻研图纸，反复打磨榫卯节点、精细校准构件尺寸、严谨核算结构受力。在师生密切配合下，团队一步步攻克技术难关，独立自主完成了从方案设计到实景搭建的全部工作。
本次赛事双项获奖，是我校建筑学专业实践育人成效的生动体现。学校将以本次赛事成果为育人抓手，贴合中外学生学习特点优化教学模式，丰富沉浸式实践课程与竞赛平台，以实践赋能成长、以成果激发动力，持续提升国内外学生培养质量。同时，学校将持续完善中外学生一体化教学、差异化育人的培养体系，双向精进、提质增效，培育更多高素质、复合型建筑专业人才。
据悉，赛事由辽宁省教育厅、世界华人建筑师协会主办，沈阳建筑大学、锦州市义县人民政府承办，经全国严格初审，仅35支优秀队伍晋级总决赛，汇集全国13所高校近300名师生同台实景竞技。（撰稿人：郝妙琦、陈瑶；摄影：陈瑶、郝妙琦；宣传员：杨薇；审核：牛艺）
Official Announcement: Our Students Achieve Outstanding Results in the 7th National University Physical Construction Competition
Recently, the 7th National University "Muqi" Timber Recreation & Design Competition — also known as the Liaoning Provincial University Architectural Innovation Design Competition and the Three Northeastern Provinces Age-Friendly Architectural Design Competition — came to a successful conclusion at the South Square of Fengguo Temple in Yixian County, Jinzhou City.
In this competition, an international student team of the 2024 grade from five African countries including Nigeria, Tanzania and Mali, guided by faculty members Chen Yao and Li Dan from the department of Architecture and Urban Planning, won the National Second Prize with their entry Twilight of Glory. Another team of Chinese architecture majors, supervised by Hao Miaoqi and Wang Qianci of the same department, claimed the National Third Prize for their work Linear Soliloquy.
Centered on the five-pointed star of the Chinese national flag, the international team’s Twilight of Glory symbolizes the unity and integration of overseas students who come to China for education from all corners of the globe. The design organically integrates hand-woven wooden slices and linen textures featuring traditional African craftsmanship with modern spiral stained glass light and shadow art. Through layered and progressive timber structural spaces, the work balances practical functions for the elderly to rest and reflect, as well as the spiritual pursuit of young people striving for progress.
Focusing on the core demands of age-friendly design, the award-winning Chinese student work Linear Soliloquy adopts orthogonal linear timber frames as its main structural skeleton. Horizontal components stretch out to form rest areas and sun-shading surfaces, while vertical poles create a stable yet lightweight load-bearing system. Interlaced hollowed textures allow natural light to filter through, generating orderly dynamic light and shadow effects.
Throughout the full month of competition preparation, supervising teachers provided full-cycle guidance and targeted advice. The international student team maintained close collaboration with instructors to tackle challenges as one. Confronted with dual obstacles: language barriers and the complex principles of Chinese traditional timber construction, teachers and students brainstormed solutions side by side. All supervisors elaborated on mortise-and-tenon joints, explained ancient Chinese construction techniques, and patiently corrected errors in component fabrication. Students delved deep into design drawings, refined mortise-and-tenon joints repeatedly, precisely calibrated component dimensions, and rigorously calculated structural loads. With seamless coordination between faculty and students, the teams overcame technical hurdles one after another and independently completed all procedures from conceptual design to on-site physical construction.
The two prizes claimed at the competition stand as a vivid testament to the achievements of Architecture major’s practice-oriented talent cultivation at our university. Building on the achievements of this competition, the university will optimize its teaching model tailored to the learning characteristics of both Chinese and international students, expand immersive practical courses and competition platforms, empower student development through hands-on practice, and fuel motivation via competition awards, so as to continuously improve the training quality of domestic and overseas students. Meanwhile, the university will further refine its integrated yet differentiated training system for Chinese and international students to achieve mutual advancement and higher education efficiency, cultivating more high-caliber interdisciplinary architectural professionals.
The event was co-sponsored by the Education Department of Liaoning Province and the World Chinese Architects Association, and hosted by Shenyang Jianzhu University and the People’s Government of Yixian County, Jinzhou City. After rigorous national preliminary evaluations, only 35 outstanding teams qualified for the national finals, bringing together nearly 300 teachers and students from 13 universities nationwide to compete through on-site physical construction.
