殖民主义式现代主义再次来袭——欧盟采用20世纪的观念指导历史语境中的建设是城市政策的倒退

Colonialist Modernism Strikes Again:EU Urban Development Policy Takes a Big Step Backward by Embracing a Reactionary 20th Century Ideology Governing New Construction in Historic Contexts

我们对2019年欧盟历史保护指南提出了批评,该指南对所有重建工作都施加了现代主义风格的要求。我们没有从此行动中找到任何科学依据,而这只来自从一群政治上有实力的建筑师身上散发出来的个人未经证实的意识形态。这是20世纪初欧洲最恶劣的殖民主义本能的传播,以勒·柯布西耶(Le Corbusier)于1933年签署的《雅典宪章》为代表。在全球范围内,这种意识形态对历史悠久的建筑和周围地区造成了灾难性的破坏,取而代之的是“怪异的建筑”和零散的环境,这大大破坏了人类的福祉。

We critique the 2019 European Union guidelines for historic preservation,which impose a modernist style on all reconstruction.We find no scientific evidence base for this action,but only a personal and unproven ideology that seems to emanate from a group of politically powerful architects.As such,it is a propagation of the worst colonialist instincts of early 20th Century Europe,typified by"the 1933 Athens Charter"written by Le Corbusier.Globally,this ideology has produced catastrophic destruction of historic buildings and neighborhoods everywhere,replaced by"weird buildings"and fragmented environments that,as evidence shows,significantly degrade human well-being.
