来自未来的建筑师

FROM THE FUTURE

在一个表面繁荣、实际经济依然落后的发展中国家里,现代性如何体现?是所有的设计院都能生产形似哈迪德、蓝天组的时髦潮流的房子吗?现代性仅仅是风格和样式吗?试想一辆纯手工打造的造型超级时尚的跑车,具有多少现代性?本期人物我们采访了OPEN建筑事务所的李虎和黄文菁,他们的思考为我们打开了一个新的视角:对于城市,他们考虑是如何对其运转方式进行重新设计。对于建筑,他们关心的不仅仅是常规意义的建筑设计,一个房子、一个房子地在盖。他们会利用每一个项目做不同程度的体系化思考,重视对一种开放体系、原型的研究。作为建筑师,不只满足于解决这个学科本身的技术和艺术的问题,还需要深刻思考这个时代的问题,产生一种为了未来的设计。

Li Hu and Huang Wenjing founded OPEN Architecture in New York and moved to Beijing in 2006, where they practice architecture with an eye to producing strategies to meet the challenges posed by China’s urban transformation. The team has provocatively suggested that the population of Beijing could comfortably live in half the space currently used and argued for the modernity of traditional Chinese architectural designs. In the AW Interview, Li and Huang discuss these ideas and also answer questions about their passion for Le Corbusier, the need for Chinese architects to become innovative leaders in design, and what they’ve learned from masscustomization.
