建筑的知性与永久性

The Intellectuality and Perpetuality of Architecture

又到了《世界建筑》聚焦一位文革后接受建筑教育的中国建筑师的时刻。这一次,我们的主角是王建国教授。在国际现代建筑的历史上,跨越城市与建筑、连接知识与诗意、兼具责任心与匠心的建筑师形成了一个令人敬重的链条:从勒·柯布西耶到路易斯·赛特,从巴克马到赫兹伯格,从阿尔多·罗西到保罗·波多盖希。他们共同的特点是拒绝建筑学中偏执的二元论,拒绝技术与艺术、伦理与美学。

This time every year,we focus on one contemporary Chinese architect.This WA issue is on Professor WANG Jianguo.We have been witnessing a chain of dominant figures in modern architecture that cross boundaries between urban planning and architecture,producing knowledge and making poetics at the same time:Le Corbusier,Sert,Bakema,Hertzberger,Aldo Rossi,and Paolo Portoghesi,to mention a few.In WANG Jianguo,we see the proof of elegant tradition touching contemporary China.He is both an architect and an urbanist,both an educator and a practitioner,both a prophet of technolgical advances and an advocate of liberal arts.
