COMPLUVIUM, Rouen, France

法國盧昂　COMPLUVIUM儲雨亭

P+S Estudio de Arquitectura | P+S 建築設計工作室

COMPLUVIUM作為水的隱喻，意在突出盧昂及Canteleu森林地區全年頻繁的降雨條件，一方面以清晰的幾何形態存在，與自然環境形成鮮明對比；另一方面藉由亞麻與玻璃纖維表皮的運用，在光線的接觸下，形貌隨之轉變，最終隱沒於景觀之中。

COMPLUVIUM serves as a metaphor for water, highlighting the frequent rainfall throughout the year in Rouen and the Canteleu forest. On one hand, it stands out with its clear geometric form, creating a stark contrast to the natural surroundings. On the other hand, the use of linen and fiberglass skins allows its appearance to transform when touched by light, eventually blending seamlessly into the landscape.

此案旨在於創造一種從內部出發的空間體驗，讓使用者能感知森林中水的存在，從而升華材料本身的特性。該建築的目的並非抵擋雨水，而是構築一座庇護所。以一個長寬高五米的虛擬立方體為基礎，在中間形成一個中央空間，屋頂向內傾斜，使雨水匯聚於亭的中心。這一設計呼應了古羅馬住宅中庭的構造，亦參考了南塞內加爾Diola族群數世紀以來對雨水收集的智慧。兩者的結合形成一種對「空間造物」的詮釋，人們可於其中沉思與觀賞雨水之美。

The project aims to create a spatial experience that originates from within, enabling users to sense the presence of water in the forest and thereby elevating the intrinsic qualities of the materials. Unlike conventional shelters designed to repel rain, this structure is conceived as a sanctuary for water. The entire structure is based on a virtual cube measuring five meters in length, width, and height, with a central space at its core. The inward-sloping roof gathers rainwater at the pavilion’s center, a design inspired by the atrium of ancient Roman houses and the centuries-old rainwater harvesting techniques of Senegal's Diola community. This synthesis creates a new interpretation of a “spatial artifact,” inviting people to reflect and appreciate the beauty of rainwater.

全案僅使用木材、亞麻與玻璃纖維三種材料。松木結構框架支撐起量體，玻璃纖維與樹脂作為防水膜，既允許光線穿透，又具備持久耐用的特性，而100%當地製造的亞麻布則用於區分內外表皮，外層經黑色防護染處理，內層則保留其自然本色，形成「殼」與「內部」的二元對比，豐富空間體驗的層次。

The design employs only three materials: wood, linen, and fiberglass. The pinewood structural framework provides essential support for the volume, while fiberglass with resin serves as a waterproof membrane, allowing light to penetrate while ensuring long-term durability. Locally produced linen fabric, used for both the interior and exterior skins, distinguishes the two surfaces with a thoughtful contrast: the exterior is treated with a black protective coating, while the interior retains its natural hue. This interplay creates a striking duality between the "shell" and the “interior,” enriching the spatial experience with nuanced layers of texture and light.
