The emerging aesthetic — accident or design?

During the unprecedented period of building activity in the Middle East, architects have become very aware of the way in which the ongoing Islamic tradition and 20th century technology can be reconciled satisfactorily. A substantial volume of building in the earlier days of the construction boom resulted in entirely inappropriate building forms which flagrantly ignored climate, culture and custom. However, in more recent years a more careful synthesis has been evolved which draws on the best of both cultures to provide the basis for an entirely authentic way of architectural expression.     

解读地域性民族文化建筑——用“马头琴”来诠释草原人民的民族情结

在一次富有民族韵味的建筑尝试申,作者试图采用不同于以往的思维方式,通过引入“另类”的民族文化元素来表达其对于地域性民族文化建筑的理解。采用建筑与空间“对话”的方式来表达草原文化中最为源远流长的家乡眷恋之情。     

高层建筑立面中的地域性表达

高层建筑作为一种非历史传承的建筑形式,缺少其他建筑常有的地域性特征。很难与地域环境和谐共生。很多建筑师通过高层建筑立面设计找到一些表达地域文化的创作手法,这些手法对高层建筑地域性创作起到了推动作用。也充分证明了高层建筑作为发源于工业社会的新建筑类型,完全可以与各地区的地域文化特色相结合,使高层建筑具有蓬勃的生命力。

Ecological reflections in unbounded architecture

For many years, the environmental effort in Scandinavian residential building has taken the form of construction-related improvements and technical renewal. For example, the standard in insulation has been improved and, to an increasing extent, the supply of energy is being covered by alternative energy sources. However, 'green' accounts reveal that the building and its environmental standards are not the most important factors in the residence's consumption of resources. The most crucial factors are the residents and their behaviour. Resource consumption in the residence is thus entirely dependent on the residents' habits, on their behaviour and life style. In the final analysis, it is our culture that becomes the topic for debate, as a direct consequence of environmental problems. Question marks are being placed alongside the consumption society and concomitantly alongside the entire occidental culture. The upshot of this is that, sooner or later, environmental problems will eventually come to influence the architectonic design, which reflects the culture and the societal values from which such modelling originates. The environmentally oriented work can, in this way, be discussed in an architectonic context. This is the aim of the present paper: to describe urban ecological endeavours in a wide cultural perspective. This ought to make it possible to look at this work in conjunction with current tendencies in contemporary design. In order to understand the present day, however, it is necessary to start at some distance from it - with the Renaissance.

浅析我国建筑设计民族传统的传承及问题

我国的传统文化底蕴相当深厚。在不断的传承与发展中,具有民族特色的文化对我国各行各业的发展产生了很深的影响。本文通过分析建筑设计对民族文化的传承在布局和表现方式上的运用,探讨传统建筑文化存在的问题,进而提出较为科学和合理的建筑设计方案。     

乌特勒支市政厅，乌特勒支，荷兰

对中世纪新古典主义建筑的室内空间的价值进行再次发掘，还原城市建筑的思想，成为城市中多种房屋的集合体，维持建筑物正面的永久性质量，建造更多的开放式建筑，以便与日后建设的市政建筑和新广场更好地协调。这是本设计的目的。     

既存建筑的适应性再利用——以广石化办公大楼改造为例

既存建筑更新与再利用的课题,在迅速发展的城市化过程中越来越引起关注,并成为建筑业可持续发展策略的重要组成部分。然而既存建筑有其复杂性和特殊性,且种类繁多,更多的案例研究便显得非常有意义。该文通过广石化办公大楼更新改造项目的实践,探讨了既有办公类建筑适应性再利用过程中遇到的诸多问题,这里面既有建筑物本身的改扩建问题,又涉及办公方式的改变和企业管理与文化等问题。该文以主要设计者的视角,直观描述了项目的整个进程,希望为本课题的研究起到贡献第一手资料的作用。     

基于类型学方法的城市生命体脉络识别与重塑——以萧山朝晖地块旧城更新为例

该文基于活动满意度与社群空间需求调查,将类型学方法运用在萧山朝晖地块旧城更新中,分析城市生命体建筑、交通、景观、文化脉络的识别提取、还原修补与植入重塑策略。结论为:旧城更新不应仅改善物质面貌,更有必要遵循城市生命体的脉络特征,通过"还原复合有机的建筑脉络、连接高效便捷的交通脉络、营造疏密有致的景观脉络、延续新旧共生的文化脉络"等手段,实现保留社会网络、还原集体记忆、满足社群需求、激发城市活力等更新目标。

泉州传统建筑的生态性

泉州传统建筑的生态性对其独特建筑文化形成的重要性是不言而喻,它代表着一种人与自然相和谐、人与环境共生的建造与生存方式。它对建设可持续发展的建筑环境,创造与自然生态相适应的建筑形式具有一定的借鉴意义。     

分解建筑:聚集、回忆和整体性的恢复

建筑是其所处社会形态和文化的缩影,因此,对既存建筑适应性改扩建的认识和手法,也会随着社会文化 的发展而不断进化且难免有所反复。本文是关于既有建筑物改造的历史研究,主要关注改造中使用的建筑手法和 新老建筑之间更加紧密的内在联系,而非简单的功能或使用上的变化。通过对集体记忆、身份认同、传统、历史 和文化等主题的阐释,尝试将改造后的建筑与过去建立联系,最终为既存建筑实现一个可持续的未来。

高层建筑创作对地域环境的呼应

高层建筑作为一种非历史传承的建筑形式,缺少其他建筑常有的地域性特征,很难与环境和谐共生。很多建筑师通过高层建筑创作实践形成一些系统的创作手法和设计原则,这些创作手法对高层建筑地域性创作起到了推动作用。也充分证明了高层建筑作为发源于工业社会的新建筑类型,完全可以与各地区的地域文化特色相结合,使高层建筑具有蓬勃的生命力。     

Italian Architecture from the Outside In

Hans Ibelings, the Dutch editor of A10: new European architecture, provides a reticent but entirely perceptive account of the Italian architecture scene from a wider European perspective. Architectural culture in Italy may be nascent in comparison to some of its continental neighbours, but it is ‘richer and more versatile’ than it has been for many years. He emphasises the role that ‘an intermediate generation’ has played in smoothing the way for a more confident, emerging generation of designers. Copyright © 2007 Hans Ibelings.     

“后三峡”文化视野中的乡土建筑策略——以湖北兴山“昭君文化园”设计创作为例

建筑景观照明中的地域文化——重庆万豪国际金融中心景观照明设计大赛有感

建筑景观照明作为强调建筑物夜间存在的一种手法,运用越来越广泛,但是一味地追求国际化而忽视了地域特色,又导致建筑物缺乏内涵与文化。本文以笔者曾经参与的重庆万豪国际金融中心景观照明设计大赛为例,说明了地域文化在建筑景观照明中的重要性。
