人文的英雄主義
張利/ZHANG Li
這是一個(gè)每年令人期待的時(shí)刻。自2013年起,《世界建筑》每年以一部專輯的篇幅報(bào)道一位文革以后的中國(guó)當(dāng)代建筑師,希望以這種帶有歷史研究色彩的方式讓更多的人了解中國(guó)當(dāng)代建筑師的思想與作品,對(duì)這一群體以及他們所造就的中國(guó)當(dāng)代建筑有更為清晰的認(rèn)識(shí)。本期,我們將聚焦于中國(guó)工程院院士孟建民。
根據(jù)我國(guó)目前一直使用的對(duì)于建筑師的分類(雖然這種分類本身也正在受到質(zhì)疑),孟建民無(wú)疑是“體制內(nèi)建筑師”,面對(duì)著“體制內(nèi)建筑師”們所必須面對(duì)的共同挑戰(zhàn)。同時(shí),孟建民的發(fā)展路徑中也有著很獨(dú)特的部分。如果說(shuō)從未泯滅的英雄主義是這一代建筑師、特別其中經(jīng)常面對(duì)大型公共建筑的建筑師的共性的話,孟建民因?yàn)樗厥獾钠髽I(yè)管理經(jīng)歷,又為這種英雄主義增添了一層面向復(fù)雜人性的人文主義色彩。
孟建民于1978年春就讀于東南大學(xué),是“文化大革命”結(jié)束后的第一批建筑專業(yè)學(xué)生,師從齊康院士取得博士學(xué)位后,應(yīng)學(xué)校的召喚到深圳特區(qū)發(fā)展,他在1990年代先是創(chuàng)辦東南大學(xué)建筑設(shè)計(jì)院深圳分院,后又通過(guò)競(jìng)聘擔(dān)任了深圳市設(shè)計(jì)總院的院長(zhǎng),進(jìn)行了無(wú)異于當(dāng)下我們常說(shuō)的“創(chuàng)業(yè)”工作??梢韵胂蟮氖?,在當(dāng)時(shí)的歷史環(huán)境下,“創(chuàng)業(yè)”的難度要遠(yuǎn)大于今天。在這種長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的管理過(guò)程中,孟建民獲得了超越建筑師思維定式的營(yíng)養(yǎng),為他深刻理解人性與社會(huì)的復(fù)雜,形成以人(特別是普通人)為本的價(jià)值取向奠定了基礎(chǔ)。這一價(jià)值取向在他創(chuàng)作的大量醫(yī)療建筑和文教建筑中得到了充分的體現(xiàn)。面對(duì)的是截然不同的空間需求,特別極端復(fù)雜的工藝流程,孟建民以游刃有余的設(shè)計(jì)梳理基本,以兼具西方與東方現(xiàn)代建筑的意蘊(yùn)增添情懷,使這些建筑在實(shí)際使用中得到了廣泛的認(rèn)同。
孟建民是東南大學(xué)的高才學(xué)生,自然也延續(xù)了可追溯至東南大學(xué)老一代建筑師們的堅(jiān)韌與細(xì)膩,具備以取向永恒的方法表現(xiàn)建筑的寧?kù)o與質(zhì)樸的功力。這顯然是伴隨著建筑歷史而一直存在的英雄主義線索。在他創(chuàng)作的各個(gè)時(shí)期,孟建民都有重要的紀(jì)念性建筑作品問世。其所倡導(dǎo)的“簡(jiǎn)形”設(shè)計(jì)方法,使他即使是在體量不大的紀(jì)念建筑中,仍然能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)對(duì)場(chǎng)所與環(huán)境有著極強(qiáng)的控制。我們經(jīng)常會(huì)感慨在今天的建筑中尺度、比例等經(jīng)典設(shè)計(jì)關(guān)注的缺席,但在孟建民的建筑中,它們不僅明確地存在,而且是令人信服地存在。
孟建民所提出的“人文、健康、高效”的“本原設(shè)計(jì)”思想是其對(duì)自己30余年建筑生涯的總結(jié)。在孟建民的建筑中,人文主義與英雄主義的交織顯然是回到建筑本原的一種途徑。
感謝孟建民建筑設(shè)計(jì)團(tuán)隊(duì)對(duì)本期專輯的支持與配合。
This is the much expected time of the year. Since 2013, World Architecture makes a special issue every year focusing on one post-culture-revolution Chinese architect. The purpose of such a practice is to carry out a historical investigation, getting closer to the true path of contemporary Chinese architecture. A deep understanding of this group of architects is in itself a revelation. Today, we focus on MENG Jianmin.
Based on the cliché classifcation of Chinese architects,MENG belongs to the institutionalised group, facing all the common challenges shared by people in this group. Yet MENG Jianmin has something unique in his career path. If heroism never dies in his age group of architects, MENG overlaps this heroism with a layer of humanism in his approach, very much owing to the management experience he has in his career.
Being the first batch of graduate student in postculture-revolution China, MENG went to Shenzhen to set up the Design Institute Branch of South East University(SEU),before winning the candidacy for the Chairman of Shenzhen Design Institute. There is unmistakable entrepreneurship in MENG, though realising the potential back then was way harder than it is today. MENG took all the challenges and led out more-than-a-decade of successful management. It is from this that MENG gained a vision that is much broader than, sometime simply contradictive to that of an architect. Having dealt with complicated human nature,MENG built an approach that can address normal people. He has embodied this down-to-earth humanism in many of his hospitals and schools. His capability of resolving sophisticated functional fows with simple means provides the necessities. His perseverance of decency of human space delivers the excellence.
MENG was one of the best students in South East University. In him we see the SEU tradition of persistence and delicacy. He possesses the skills of implanting a building with silence and eternity. He extends the line of heroism that has been with architecture since the very beginning. All through his career, he has made convincing monumental buildings. He uses simple forms in compelling interventions in different places. Proportion and scale, something that is painfully lacking in some contemporary architects, is in ample supply in MENG.
MENG has recently summarised his architecture philosophy as the "basics of architecture", advocating humanism, health and efficiency. The interweaving of humanism and heroism in his buildings is certainly one sounding way to return to the basics.
Special thanks to MENG Jianmin's Design Team for their support to this issue.
