很榮幸受《世界建筑》之邀,為當下荷蘭建筑的狀況作此篇概覽。但是這次我們將避免強調(diào)荷蘭建筑舞臺上早已蜚聲于世的諸位明星建筑師,即:暫且不提雷姆·庫哈斯、維尼·馬斯、本·范·伯克爾和法蘭馨·侯班。在舞臺大幕背后,究竟正發(fā)生著什么?與眾不同的作品又在何處?
為盡可能提供恰當公正的評論,我們借此機會將諸多獨立作者齊聚一堂。評論家、建筑文化的提倡者呂德·布勞韋斯,發(fā)起并在過去40年中主編了《荷蘭建筑年鑒》??聽査诡D·漢尼瑪,建筑評論家及荷蘭報刊《人民報》的撰稿人,她為最近一期《荷蘭建筑年鑒》撰文剖析了2008年全球經(jīng)濟危機以來的荷蘭建筑狀況。中國建筑師張洋,在貝爾拉格學院接受了建筑教育并受聘于KAAN建筑事務(wù)所,就此投身荷蘭建筑事業(yè)——她提供了一種具有批判性的導引。我本人則受到自身兩重身份角色的影響:日常作為一名建筑師進行建筑實踐,同時又作為理論教師在學院中任職——在代爾夫特理工大學建筑學院中領(lǐng)導城市綜合體方向的研究。
這里必須申明,我們所作的篩選難以俱全。被提及與展示的這些建筑師個體或建筑公司以外,值得留意品鑒的建筑作品仍不勝枚舉。此次綜評聚焦于趨勢的呈現(xiàn),并不能等同于當下荷蘭建筑的全面總結(jié)?!?/p>
We are honoured that the editors of WA have invited us to write an overview of the state of current Dutch architecture. This time, though, there was to be no emphasis on the already well-known starchitects on the scene: no Rem Koolhaas, Winy Maas, Ben van Berkel and Francine Houben. What's happening behind the big screen? Where are the different projects?
In order to produce an even-handed review we took the opportunity to assemble a group of independent writers. Ruud Brouwers, a critic and an advocate of the culture of architecture, initiator of the Architecture inthe Netherlands Yearbook, covering the past 40 years. Kirsten Hannema, is also an architecture critic and a writer for newspaperDe Volkskrantand the contributor to the latestYearbook, analysing the period after the 2008 global financial crash. ZHANG Yang as a Chinese architect, educated at the Berlage Institute,and embraced byKAAN Architecten, totally dedicated to the architecture in the Netherlands – provided a critical guidance. My contribution is influenced by my two roles: a practitioner working as an architect on a daily basis and a teacher of theory in an academic setting at the Delft University of Technology's Faculty of Architecture, as the Chair of Complex Projects.
It must be said that the selections are made arbitrarily. Apart from those architects and firms mentioned and illustrated, there are many more whose works are worth seeing. This review is about presenting the trends, and is not a complete overview of current architecture in the Netherlands.□
