摘要
我们在20世纪60年代的第一批建筑主要是受澳大利亚早期当地建筑的影响。对我们来说,正是这种地方性使人们意识到了环境的意义。本土建筑在接受英国模式的同时,非常谨慎地处理着与当地的气候和景观的关系。这种地方建筑的建造变得非常容易,几乎毫不费力,她可以自由伸展,表现出在材料和结构使用方面的地方性。我们的建筑是一种反现代主义的东西,充满了乐观的浪漫主义色彩,这点在当地的建筑特色中有充分的体现,而且在不同地区所做的设计亦各不相同,并相应地改变着那里的环境。
Our first buildings in the 1960s were keenly influenced by the early vernacular architecture of Australia. To us, the vernacular made environmental sense. It adapted inappropriate English models sensitively to our climate and landscape. It became easily, almost languidly, extendable, and embodied ingenuity in the use of materials and structure. Ours was an anti-modernist approach, delighting in the romanticism which buildings of regional character could convey, while differing markedly from place to place in response to changing environments.
