探索建筑如何塑造記憶

作者author: Jack McManus

為什么有一些地標(biāo)和建筑以及場地和體驗(yàn)會讓我們終生難忘呢？甚至我們在童年時(shí)參觀過的某個(gè)地方，可以通過在我們腦海中所留下的記憶影響我們的情緒。來自布魯克斯+斯卡帕建筑師事務(wù)所的安吉拉·布魯克斯和拉里·斯卡帕解釋說：“我們事務(wù)所的建筑作品希望帶給所有體驗(yàn)過的人們留下持久的印象”，“我們試圖留下一些東西，這些東西能深深地植入人們的記憶中?！?/p>

這家總部位于洛杉磯的建筑事務(wù)所，在Breadtruck Films電影公司出品的一部4分鐘的微型紀(jì)錄片中，分享了他們在建筑設(shè)計(jì)中的哲學(xué)理念。這部紀(jì)錄片記錄了對于創(chuàng)始人安吉拉·布魯克斯和拉里·斯卡帕的采訪、一部分建成項(xiàng)目的航拍鏡頭、還包括了他們在事務(wù)所里實(shí)際參與設(shè)計(jì)的過程。

布魯克斯解釋說：“無論項(xiàng)目的規(guī)模如何，我們都會將那些空間使用者的經(jīng)驗(yàn)納入考慮。”例如，他們所設(shè)計(jì)的殘疾退伍軍人康復(fù)中心（The SIX）將建筑立面打開，并將內(nèi)部掏空，從而讓住戶與街道保持聯(lián)系，但同時(shí)也保護(hù)他們不會受到太多外部的干擾。這部紀(jì)錄片還記錄了布魯克斯和斯卡帕對于設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)程的見解，其中有一部分利用特效展示了他們的設(shè)計(jì)草圖是如何變成實(shí)體建筑的。此外，這兩位建筑師也在采訪中表示：建筑設(shè)計(jì)中能源的最優(yōu)化，以及對場地破壞的最小化將會成為未來設(shè)計(jì)的關(guān)鍵。

布魯克斯+斯卡帕建筑師事務(wù)所建成的特色項(xiàng)目包括：被掏空的公寓、天使湖中轉(zhuǎn)站、羅利當(dāng)代藝術(shù)博物館、猶他州的索倫森藝術(shù)中心，以及陰陽住宅。斯卡帕還表示：“陰陽住宅的住戶已經(jīng)在那里住好幾年了，卻從未收到過水電費(fèi)帳單”。

Why do we remember buildings,locations,and experiences? Even a place visited in our childhood can conjure emotions that make an impact on us through the memories they create.Angela Brooks and Larry Scarpa explain that the work of Brooks+Scarpa Architects aspires to make a lasting impression out of even a brief encounter.“We try to leave something behind,” says Scarpa,“something ingrained in people’s memory that sticks with them.”

The Los Angeles-based firm shares the philosophy behind their design process in a profile from Breadtruck Films entitled “Memory: Frame.” The four-minute micro-documentary incorporates interview scenes with Angela Brooks and Larry Scarpa,drone footage of a few of the firm’s projects,and shots of the design process in progress at their studio.

Brooks explains that regardless of a project’s scale,the firm considers the experience of everyone who will eventually use the space.For example,their rehabilitation center for disabled veterans uses a large elevated aperture in the facade to maintain a connection between the residents and the street while protecting them from the road.The video also offers insight into the working dynamic between the two partners of the firm.A few interesting visuals reveal how their early drawings came to life as finished buildings.Also,the architects’ perspective on energy optimization and minimal site disruption as key aspects of future design.

Featured projects include The Six,Angle Lake Transit Station,Raleigh's Contemporary Arts Museum,the Sorenson Center for the Arts in Utah and the Yin-Yang House,whose residents have "never,ever received a utility bill" according to Scarpa.
