寻找当代的马丘比丘--秘鲁建筑师路易斯•隆吉的冒险之旅(使命)

In the Search For a Contemporary Machu Picchu--The Mission‘Adventure’of Peruvian Architect Luis Longhi

1911年,美国探险家海勒姆•宾厄姆发现了当今最具标志性的印加建筑群--马丘比丘。即使这一事件被称为“发现”,当地人引导海勒姆•宾厄姆所到之地是15世纪所建造的梯田“安迪内斯”遗址,而西班牙人在“发现”之前一个世纪就已到达印加土地。幸运的是,马丘比丘未并被西班牙殖民者发现,并且在植被的覆盖下保存了近500年之久。在海勒姆•宾厄姆为该印加建筑群带来价值时,秘鲁民族国家建设核心是关于民族认同的讨论,这一过程从1821年开始,且尚未得到巩固。马丘比丘和乌鲁班巴河谷的其他印加考古遗址被选为这个新生国家的象征。印加建筑成为秘鲁身份创立的利用最多的象征。然而,在286年的殖民化和基督教化过程中,土著人民、印加文明的继承者及其传统没有受到轻视。尽管如此,适应能力较强的安第斯社区人民仍坚持守护他们在马丘比丘等建筑中获得的世界观/传统知识。

In 1911,Hiram Bingham,an American explorer revealed the most emblematic Inca complex nowadays,Machu Picchu.Even if this event has been called a“discovery”,locals from the area who guided Hiram Bingham to its location,cultivated the terraces[andenes]of the site that was built during the 15th century,a century before Spaniards reached the Inca land.Fortunately,Machu Picchu was not found by Spanish colonizers,and remained conserved under the vegetation that covered it for nearly 500 years.
