智利建筑的现状:发自南半球的真实声音

The Current State of Chilean Architecture:A Genuine Voice from Global South

人们常把智利视为位于全球某个角落的国家,其建筑拥有令人叹为观止的地理环境却不涉及真正的城市问题。智利建筑在全球范围得到的认可与赞誉,加快了这个南美国家的建筑师们努力转变人们对智利建筑持有的这种刻板印象的脚步。随着城市化进程与经济增长的急速发展,智利的建筑通过采用本上和乡上的建造技术形成了朴素而节制的建筑原则(即满足功能需要而不追求时尚)。为了理解最近关于智利建筑真正发自本土的声音,我们必须反思全球中心的北半球化对一个国家的建筑态度产生了怎样的影响。

Global recognition and appreciation of Chilean architecture reinforces the steps that the South American country＇s architects have taken to distance themselves from the stereotypical view of Chile as a country in the comer of the world, set against an astonishing geography and away from any real urban issues. In the wake of rapid urbanization and economic growth, Chilean architecture has embraced austerity （because of need, not because of fashion） via the use of local, vernacular construction techniques. To understand the genuine local voice of Chile＇s latest architecture, one must consider how the influence of the Global North affected the architectural attitude of a country.
