While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said.
"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
当著名的外国建筑师被邀请来领导中国标志性建筑的设计时,如新的中央电视台大楼和国家大剧院,许多优秀的中国建筑师正在努力走上舞台的中心。
事实证明,他们的努力是卓有成效的。2月28日,49岁的中国建筑师王澍获得2012年普利兹克建筑奖,该奖项通常被称为建筑界的诺贝尔奖。他是第一位获得该奖项的中国公民。
他是中国美术学院建筑系主任。他的办公室位于浙江杭州大学象山校区。校园里的许多建筑都是他的原创作品。
校园的风格与中国大多数大学的风格大不相同。许多游客惊叹于复杂的建筑空间和丰富的建筑类型。建筑的曲线与山丘的起伏完美匹配,形成了独特的景观。
王收集了700多万块不同年代的废弃砖。他要求工人使用传统技术将砖块制成墙壁、屋顶和走廊。由于融合了现代和传统的中国元素,这一创作吸引了很多关注。
他的作品表现出对现代建筑的深刻理解和对传统的良好了解。通过这种平衡,他创造了一种新型的中国建筑,1995年普利兹克奖得主安藤忠雄(Tadao Ando)说。
王认为传统不应该被密封在博物馆的玻璃盒子里。“这只是传统曾经存在过的证据,”他说。
“很多中国人对传统有误解。他们认为传统意味着过去的旧事物。事实上,传统也指那些一直在发展和仍在创造的东西。”
“今天,许多中国人正在学习西方的风格和理论,而不是关注中国的传统。很多人喜欢谈论传统,却不知道它们到底是什么。”
学习传统应与实践相结合。他说,否则,对传统的再创造将是人为的和空洞的。
