    2012年5月7日 – 倫敦奧運即將於七月登場,搶搭奧運風潮,行政院文化建設委員會特地邀請2012倫敦奧運的主場館建築師羅德‧謝爾德(Rod Sheard)5月22日來台 ...

    二○○四年雅典奧運主場館,鋼構屋頂像一隻巨鳥張開白色翅膀;二○○八年北京奧運主場館「鳥巢」,前衛外形同樣令人震撼。相較之下,即將舉行的倫敦奧運主場館「倫敦碗」,造形一如其名,乍看平凡無奇。
    設計倫敦碗的澳籍建築師羅德(Rod Sheard),昨應文化部「國際大師人文講座」之邀,來台演講「搖滾吧,建築!」羅德在世界各地設計了數十個體育場館,包括雪梨奧運主場館。

    倫敦奧運主場館擁有八萬席座椅,其中五萬五千席可供拆卸,建築師羅德昨天來台分享設計理念。

    「運動是新的搖滾樂!」羅德指出,搖滾樂曾是可以跨越政治、宗教、文化的「世界性文化語言」,披頭四的一舉一動牽動全球觀眾的心弦。但從一九九○年代起,運動逐漸取代搖滾樂的地位──席丹一記頭球、林書豪一次運球上籃,全球觀眾為之瘋狂。 「體育場館是在瞬間創造英雄的舞台。」羅德曾在著作「體育館:全球文化的建築」中表示,體育場館是「勝利的象徵」,必須具備戲劇性的造形和紀念碑般的規模。
    一場奧運開幕,全球超過十億人口觀賞;體育場館等於商機無窮的立體廣告,造型愈誇張、廣告效果也愈強烈。倫敦碗卻顛覆了羅德自己對體育場館的定義。
    倫敦碗可能不是令人震撼的體育館,卻是史上最具創意的體育館。它擁有八萬席座椅,卻有五萬五千席可供拆卸。奧運結束後,倫敦碗上四層座位將拆卸,成為一座小型足球場。倫敦碗甚至沒有屋頂。
    羅德說,倫敦已是發展成熟的大都會,不需像北京、雅典,用一座前衛巨大的體育館改造城市形象。
    他將倫敦碗的設計定為「小巧、零距離、節能」。透過碗形的角度設計,觀眾和球員幾乎零距離,「你可以聞到運動員的氣息」。奧運在夏季舉辦,下雨機率不高。小巧、沒屋頂的倫敦碗節省建材,也解決奧運後淪「蚊子館」的危機。
    許多英國建築師批判倫敦碗不夠傳統、沒資格代表英國。「他們甚至說它根本算不上真正的建築!」但羅德相信,「改變的時刻到了」,他用倫敦碗挑戰「建築即永恆」的觀念,「這世界永遠需要新的想法,新的挑戰!」

Golden, and made of shaped sheets of aluminium alloy, each torch is perforated with 8,000 holes representing the 8,000 torchbearers taking part in the relay. At 80cm it is one of the tallest torches but also one of the lightest, weighing 800-850g including its central propane-butane burner. Its proportions will allow it to be carried easily by younger torchbears.

誰害怕中央電視台總部大樓?




中央電視台總部大樓,是北京商務中心區的一座中國中央電視台所有建築物,內含央視總部大樓、電視文化中心、服務樓、慶典廣場,由德國人奧雷·舍人和荷蘭人庫哈斯帶領大都會建築事務所(OMA)設計[3]。中央電視台總部大樓建築外形前衛,被美國時代》評選為2007年世界十大建築奇跡,並列的有北京當代萬國城國家體育場。之後,在網路上盛傳設計師庫哈斯解釋其設計初衷為男女生殖崇拜。[4] 為此,庫哈斯在網站上刊登聲明辟謠。[5]中央電視台總部大樓50億人民幣建成,而其中一座北配樓已經在2009年2月9日元宵節大火中嚴重焚毀。2009年10月底開始進行修復工作,並於2012年5月16日竣工[6]體育頻道是首先搬入新台址的部門。





誰害怕中國人?

《日報》認為,新落成的央視大樓很醜陋,與其初衷相背,成了建築藝術的恥辱。而北京的這類醜陋建築比比皆是。 《世界報》評論說,對於崛起的中國,西方缺乏政治戰略的遠景。


(德國之聲中文網)針對中央電視台新址主樓竣工,《日報》5月16日認為,"這在中國是不尋常的,通常情況下,搬進這樣一個富麗堂皇的建築,任何中國企業都會不失時機地以相應的富麗堂皇去慶祝的,特別是這幢樓關係到中國的最大國家電視台--中央電視台的新總部,而且是在北京的最佳位置。然而,星期三晚上的正式開幕儀式很節制。

"可能原因在於,這個醜陋的大建築經過一共10年的建造,吞掉了數十億美元,從4年前開始看上去似乎已經建好,從而對北京人來說不再是真正的轟動新聞了。……

"我們從而就遇到了第二個原因,這個怪異建築從一開始就沒有好風水,……其使用面積43萬平米,是僅次於華盛頓五角大樓的世界第二大辦公樓。

"然而,按照傳統的風水學說,(央視大樓)建造的尖角太多、太冷、太粗笨,從各個方面都招邪靈。也就是說,到處都有很大的穿堂風。"

"建築藝術的恥辱"

"事​​實上這個區塊對稱的樓房雖然引起轟動,讓人第一眼看到會因其傾斜的龐大建築目瞪口呆。可是這個大建築也是醜陋的,幾乎沒有一個北京人真正從心底里喜歡它。是一位出租車司機第一個將這個建築比作穿舊了的褲衩(大褲衩),從此這個名字在俗語中不脛而走。"

該報認為:"然而建築師也沒有給央視塔樓帶來光彩,德國建築師奧雷·舍仁(Ole Scheeren)與荷蘭建築師庫哈斯(Rem Koolhaas)設計的結構,並負責建築工程的完成。然而,從交通和環境政策角度來看,他們製造的是一個巨大的建築錯誤,在其它地方沒有類似的建築,也沒有歐洲建築師會再設計這樣的藍圖。

"1萬名工作人員每天從上午9點到下午5點同時進入和離開這個大樓。在北京本已擁擠不堪的這個角落,這一龐大建築恐怕會進一步導致交通完全癱瘓。"

文章指出:"……本來計劃是要作為北京的新標誌和現代化中國的象徵的,結果卻成了建築藝術的恥辱和污點。令人遺憾的是,在中國首都,由於狂妄自大,此類建築比比皆是。"

"誰害怕中國人?"

《世界報》5月16日在評介對話錄《21世紀是屬於中國的嗎? 》時寫道:"誰害怕中國人?可能有人會以為所有人都害怕,從持續衰弱的歐洲人同樣還有債台高築的美國人,到日益老化的日本社會以及與中國相鄰的國家。然而,與美國人不同的是,歐洲人沒有辦法抑制自己的恐懼。

"誰想知道,面對北京,歐洲有什麼樣的政治戰略,他只會一無所知。歐洲將中國視為出口市場,對它沒有什麼政治上的遠景。美國卻不是這樣,那裡的主要人物相當一段時間以來就在思考,下個世紀是否會是中國的世紀以及西方應該以什麼樣的方式做出回應。從要求重新振興喬治·凱南(George Kennan)針對蘇聯所設計的遏制政策,到提供廣泛的合作,各種想法應有盡有。"

評論說,該書對話者中只有哈佛的經濟史家弗格森(Niall Ferguson)"真地相信北京將在21世紀統治世界"。 "弗格森提醒說中國將利用美國人的虛弱,毫無顧忌地貫徹自己的利益。"

Eisenhower Memorial

Eisenhower Memorial




Architect offers Eisenhower Memorial revisions that stress leadership over youth


Representatives of architect Frank Gehry unveiled changes to the proposed memorial honoring Dwight D. Eisenhower on Tuesday in an effort to quiet months of roiling criticism that the original failed to adequately reflect the scope of the 34th president’s achievements.
The new proposal, unveiled at an Eisenhower Memorial Commission meeting, retains the metal tapestries surrounding an urban park framework, but offers changes to the memorial core that the architect hopes will give greater prominence to Eisenhower’s stature and accomplishments.

Frank Gehry talks about designing the Dwight D. Eisenhower memorial. “I fell in love with the idea of trying to represent him in this unlikely site,” Gehry said about the planned memorial.
Frank Gehry talks about designing the Dwight D. Eisenhower memorial. “I fell in love with the idea of trying to represent him in this unlikely site,” Gehry said about the planned memorial.
Gone are bas-relief sculptures in favor of three-dimensional, heroic-size statues of Eisenhower as president and general, with space for his accomplishments on the stone blocks and quotations on lintels above them. The changes address some of the original design’s focus on Eisenhower’s modesty by putting forth a more muscular representation of his leadership.
In a letter to the commissioners read by Meaghan Lloyd, Gehry’s chief of staff, Gehry indicated that he had considered the feedback and criticism generated by his initial proposal. “I love this type of collaboration,” he wrote. “It is a process that I think is vital to the success of any endeavor and one that was necessary to make sense of sometimes contradictory characterizations of President Eisenhower.” The changes help “tell the story of Eisenhower with more dignity and power,” he said in the letter.

The Eisenhower family criticized the original design as invoking images of Soviet mythmaking and Nazi-era barbarism. The family did not attend the Tuesday meeting but is expected to weigh in on the new design before the commission meets again, possibly within a week. At that meeting, the commission is expected to decide whether to send the plan forward to the National Capital Planning Commission.

Planners hope to break ground on the four-acre memorial this year. Projected to cost an estimated $110 million, the memorial would be bisected by Maryland Avenue SW, just south of the Mall and would be situated in front of the Education Department and across from the National Air and Space Museum — buildings that tie in with Eisenhower’s legacy.
The design features large, see-through metal tapestries bordering three sides of the monument, depicting outdoor scenes from Eisehnower’s boyhood home of Abilene, Kan. The original core featured a young Eisenhower sculpted to look out onto bas-relief forms representing his dual military and presidential careers.

Much of the criticism from the family, conservatives and architectural traditionalists focused on the tapestries and their portrayal of Eisenhower’s humble roots. Critics thought the emphasis on his rural boyhood came at the expense of his later accomplishments as World War II Supreme Allied Commander and, especially, president.

Some attacked Gehry’s designs as too modern and self-aggrandizing. In December, Eisenhower’s grandson, David Eisenhower, resigned from the commission. At a March congressional subcommittee meeting, Eisenhower’s granddaughter, Susan Eisenhower, critically compared Gehry’s design to Communist-era decorations that honored “Marx, Engels and Lenin.” The metal tapestries were likened to fences in Nazi death camps. She called for a total redesign.

Gehry’s supporters, including commission member Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii), countered with a March letter from the Eisenhower Memorial Commission expressing its “unqualified support” for Gehry. The new and possibly final design features portrayals of Eisenhower with soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division before the invasion of Normandy and the 1966 Yousuf Karsh “Elder Statesman” photo of Eisenhower as 9-foot statues. Proposed inscriptions detail his military accomplishments and the “Peace and Prosperity” of his presidency.

After the Tuesday meeting, critics said the new design still did not address key conceptual and aesthetic concerns. Justin Shubow, president of National Civic Art Society, says the memorial “still portrays Eisenhower as an unrecognizable boy or young man, which is at its core.”
Milton Grenfell, vice chairman of the civic art society and a classical architecture advocate, said the new design remained overscale, “with huge iron curtains,” and called the inscribed stones perched atop one another “willful” and “anti-aesthetic,” giving a feeling of “something that’s not going to last.” He said he hoped Congress would have a chance to weigh in.
Commissioner Alfred Geduldig said the group had been working on the memorial for about 12 years “to make sure all bases are covered. We’re at a point, looking at these very impressive models, where we really can feel it.”

They met in the offices of Sen. Daniel Inouye, in one of the ornate rooms of the old Capitol that are among the perks of office for the president pro tempore. Members of the Eisenhower Memorial Commission sat around a heavy round table, while their staffers crowded in from the sides. A March fire blazed in the fireplace.
They were looking for a way forward. More than a decade after the commission had been formed to create a memorial to the 34th president of the United States and the man who led Allied troops to victory in Europe in World War II, the Eisenhower Memorial was suddenly in the news, attacked from all sides, including by the grandchildren of the man it was meant to honor.
