評委評語
該項目之所以能夠獲得評委會的特別關注,原因有多種。倫敦建筑協(xié)會的學生提交了一個解決當?shù)亟ㄖ締栴}的方案:雖然復雜幾何形狀的設計越來越容易,但其建造卻頗為棘手。憑借其可塑性和靈活的成型,混凝土確實是一種很好的雕塑語言材料。然而,由于必要的模板通常要靠手工制作,建筑成本經常超過正常預算。評委會公認,該項目開創(chuàng)了克服這種困境的新的生產機會。其基本方案是,制造混凝土構件的模塊化元件,一旦鑄成一個元件,就將其作為模板鑄造下一個元件。
即使該項目沒有指明如何鑄造構件的上表面,也忽略了必須有某種模板才能鑄出第一個構件的事實,該項目也具備不用傳統(tǒng)模具的混凝土制造愿景。鑒于這么多模板在用后就被處理,該方案無疑會在建材加工方面帶來巨變。此外,通過這種工藝鑄造的元件很容易運輸;相似的外形允許節(jié)省空間的堆疊。盡管還有一些問題尚未解決,該項目的確在混凝土生產上提供了一個有能力適應當代建筑的一些正式利益的全新視角——評委會認為該項目是“下一代”的范疇,這種成就值得表彰。
Jury Appraisal
This project received the special interest of the jury for a variety of reasons. Students of the Architectural Association in London presented an approach to a fundamental problem of contemporary architecture: while the de-sign of complex geometric shapes has become increasingly easier, it is their construction that is the tricky bit. With its plasticity and flexible moulding, concrete is actually a material that lends itself well to a sculptural language. However, as the production of the necessary formwork is typically made by hand, the cost of building often exceeds regular budgets. It was the consensus of the jury that this project opens new productive opportunities to over-come this dilemma. Its essential proposal is to produce modular elements of concrete and use one element, once cast, as formwork for the next element to be cast.
Even if the project does not indicate how the upper surface of the element would be cast and also ignoring the fact that to cast the very first element, there has to be some kind of formwork, the project holds the vision of concrete fabrication without conventional moulds. A prospect which would doubtlessly make a big difference in terms of the material processing of building, given that so much formwork is disposed after use. In addition, the elements cast through this process would be easily transportable; their self-similar form allowing for space-saving stacking. Despite some unsolved problems, the project does present a fresh new perspective on the production of concrete that has the capacity to accommodate some of the formal interests of contemporary architecture – an achievement for which the jury considered this project of the "Next Generation" category deserves commendation.
