伍重真想现代吗?

Would Utzon Really Want to Be Modern?

丹麦建筑师伍重一生设计建成了3幢自宅,通过对其形式及理念的分析,可看出伍重建筑及人生观的渐变,尤其是对早期建筑理念的怀疑。伍重的早期建筑理念在其为数不多的公共建筑设计上,如悉尼歌剧院,得以彰显。如此建筑与人生观的转变在20世纪并非孤例。通过分析可得出如下结论,这是一个从大胆拥抱并向外部世界展望视野的建筑物体到一个更为内向封闭的容器的转化。与路易·康和柯布的不同之处是:伍重的转变既非彻底,亦充满了疑惑与内心的矛盾。以世界观而言,这是征服广袤世界的现代性欲望与渴望重返内心世界的矛盾。

The Danish architect J?rn Utzon throughout his lifetime designed and built three houses for himself and his family. A study of these houses shows the slow development of a doubt, albeit understated, on his early architectural belief that was much celebrated in his public buildings, such as the Sydney Opera House. But Utzon is not unique in this instance. Some other modern architects too had experienced a similar change, gradual or sudden, in their attitudes towards life and the world, hence the transformation of their architecture as a consequence. This change, on the surface and as represented in architecture, is from a building that boldly embraces outside vista to that of a more internalized receptacle. But unlike Louis Kahn and Le Corbusier, Utzon, instead of a complete transformation, showed an inner conflict arising from this doubt, which is between the modern urge to conquer the capacious space out there and a yearning for an interior life.
