高分综艺翻车？花132万改建农房被吐槽“毛坯房”，节目组回应

A popular TV show in China on home renovations featuring renowned designers recently came under fire on Chinese social media with netizens slamming the makeover of an earth house in a village as "the worst in history", as it flouted the original intention of the owner and left him with a bill of 1.3 million yuan ($203,700) for rebuilding the house. 

近日，火遍国内的家装改造综艺《梦想改造家》引发舆论争议。第八季的节目中一个农村土房的改造，因违背委托人初衷，花了130万元建的却是红砖毛坯房，引发无数吐槽，网友谑称“史上最差设计”。

The TV producer apologized on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo on Sunday and explained that the scenes aired were incomplete due to the epidemic flareup and low temperatures in the area. The project will continue next spring and the producer will split the cost with the house owner. 

11月21日，制片人在新浪微博发布情况声明，称受到西北地区的疫情影响，加之当地温度过低，“节目中呈现的事实上是一个尚未完成的作品”，并指出待明年开春将继续完善施工，施工成本由节目组和委托人分摊。

The questioned episode titled Rural Earth House in Gansu Reconstructed into Dreamy Idyllic Residence was aired on Friday. It featured Du Xingchang, a 68-year-old farmer in a village in Northwest China's Gansu province, who sent five of his children to the city but stayed in the village with his wife. 

备受舆论质疑的节目名为“甘肃农村土房重建后变梦幻田园居”，于11月19日播出。委托人杜兴昌已年近古稀。五位儿女纷纷长大入城，而他与妻子则选择留守农村老家。

"Maybe the kids are willing to come back after they retire if I remodel the house a bit nicer," Du said in the show's episode, adding that "a person cannot lose one's root." 

杜兴昌表示，要是老房子翻修得好些，孩子们退休后说不定也愿意退休回家住。还补充说，一个人不应丢根忘本。

The house was a typical rural courtyard in Northwest China built 40 years ago. The production of the show entrusted the renovation project to an architect surnamed Tao, graduate and current teacher at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

节目中的老房子四十年前建成，是一座典型的西北风格围合式小院。负责这项改建设计的建筑师陶磊毕业于中央美术学院建筑学院，现于中央美术学院任教。

Tao expressed confidence in his design, saying that he also grew up in the countryside and knows the lifestyle of farmers.

陶磊对自己的设计充满信心。他表示自己也在农村长大，对农民的生活方式了如指掌。

However, Tao's work, which he introduced as a modern building formed simply from bricks and concrete, drew huge controversy among Chinese netizens who slammed the design as "artless, inconvenient, and most of all, overpriced."

不巧，陶磊此次的作品并不讨喜，在网上引发了巨大争议。网友们纷纷抨击他的设计“毫无情调、四面漏风就算了，竟还漫天要价”。

The total cost of the renovation, which will mainly be paid by the house owner, totaled about 1.3 million yuan, which is equivalent to the price of a villa with a courtyard in some cities, according to media. 

据报道，翻修改造费用的绝大部分由房主自费，总开支约为130万元，相当于某些省市带小院别墅的户型报价。

In addition, the project did not follow Du's original intention of rebuilding it into a two-story Western-style villa, which he had told the designer before the house makeover. 

此外，杜兴昌事先便已向设计师表明，希望将房子改建成二层洋房，而节目组却并未遵循。

Responding to the criticism, producers of the program aired on Shanghai-based Dragon TV said Sunday that the project hadn't been completed yet, and they would cover half of the construction costs along with the family. However, many social media users argued that the family should be spared any of the costs.

面对漫天的批评声，上海东方卫视《梦想改造家》制片方回应道，节目拍摄时改造还未完工，并表示将与委托人及其子女们各承担改造项目总花费的一半。也仍有不少网友认为，杜兴昌与家人不应承担任何费用。

On Sunday, Tao's design studio also responded to the controversy, saying that the design was fully and continuously discussed with the owner throughout the process, and that its considerations differ from pure interior designs as they are "looking at the issue of rural construction from a global and forward-looking perspective."

11月21日，北京TAOA工作室——陶磊建筑工作室回应称，设计施工的全程都与房主开展了充分持续的交流；此外，鉴于此次改造与纯室内设计不同，工作室是“从全球和前瞻的角度来看待农村建设问题”。

In his previous works, Tao has used raw materials such as concrete and wood without too many decorations to demonstrate the beauty of spatial structures through light and shadows. 

陶磊此前的作品使用了混凝土、木材一类建材，不经过分修饰，只通过光影变换来展示空间结构的美。
