荷兰建筑发展趋势:表现功能主义

A Current Dutch Trend: Expressive Functionalism

在荷兰,40多年的建筑产业发生了一场缓慢的建筑变革。软性、温和的建筑变得愈发适宜。无论金融危机和超级荷兰风暴所引发的冲击如何,图表曲线一直处于稳定的增长状态。从1970年代小规模的城市更新到今天,建筑尺度有了极大飞跃。无论是火车站还是医疗中心,各类建筑的规模比以往任何时候都大得多。而"作为国际化经营的事务性空间"和"发展更精妙的功能主义形式"是空间开发利用的两条平行线。尽管明星建筑师们着实做出了贡献,但荷兰建筑的城市面貌,并非由明星建筑师所定义。一个包含新生代建筑师强大生命力且高度发达的建筑师群体,在过去几十年中早已满足了人们的需求,并将继续致力于满足人们的需求。

Over 40 years of Dutch building production has brought about a slow revolution in architecture in the Netherlands. Soft spoken architecture became well-spoken. The graph line has been on a steady incline, regardless of the shocks caused by the financial crash and the Super Dutch storm of conceptual architects. From the small-scale urban renewals of the 1970s up to the present day, there has been a jump in scale. Buildings of all kinds are getting bigger than they ever were before, from train stations to medical centres. The greater use of space runs parallel to the internationalization of doing business and, more importantly, to the development of subtler forms of functionalism. The architectural face of the Netherlands is not defined by Dutch starchitects, though they do contribute. A highly developed community of architects, including the strong momentum of a young generation, has managed to meet and continues to meet the demands.
