温柔的建筑布道者 - Grafton Architects

“There are two positions that an architects can take. The first one is that you assume that there’s no one like you in the whole world and that you have the right to express your individuality in your own utterly unique way. The other position is being aware that, as an architect, you’re only the ‘translator’ of the cultural phenomenon of habitation, i.e. space, tradition and experience, which you express in architecture …” 看到这句话,我真的一瞬间想哭。
还在全身心、严肃又认真地、温柔并坚定地在做建筑的Grafton啊,传承了柯布和康的内核的建筑布道者,温柔的前行者。
延续城市文脉;
对历史尊重的态度 :“history is a friend”;

城市是文化的延续、是历史结构的叠加、是时间的具体化”;
庄重&开放,随和&封闭;
模糊边界,“墙”不是一道没有质量的界限,“墙”也可以是一种“空间”;
the importance of natural sun light to the ground;
长坡屋顶形式出发点:降雨量,大量采光需求;
理性的、功能化的、社会性的平面 vs. 感性、情感相关的、自由且联系地面和天空的剖面;
天空-自然、光照、情感,地面-社会性、功能、文脉;
Eatrhbound, groundscape, and aerial skyscape - topographic anchorage;
如果康在意的是光引入建筑后营造的具体效果,那grafton则更看重“引入光”的这个动作,以及这个动作带来的结构、空间的条件和反馈;
“ the concrete structure makes a kind of man-made, carved mountain. It forms the matrix - the scaffolding - within which life happens.” ;
最后,这本书的图纸量远远没有达到每个项目想要表达的信息量,这算是唯一的遗憾了。
