建筑改变日本

by Toyo Ito, 寇佳意 (Translator)

现代主义的全速推进，令日本都市的面貌日新月异。玻璃覆盖下的高楼大厦，看似透明而轻盈，于其中生活的人们，却在这同质化的建筑风貌下，感受着日渐厚重的区隔，仿佛无生气的中性存在。这样的浪潮亦为建筑师们提供了展现个性的舞台，一件件“艺术品”造型精致，不断走向形式与技术的极限，却远离了体恤人情的本质。
人们对建筑彼岸幸福生活的寄盼，不断催发着日本建筑师伊东丰雄的反思。一间图书馆如何关顾人对光线的不同需求？一栋新的办公楼如何尊重人对季节温度的感受？一座岛屿如何重新焕发出人与自然相互依存的光辉？
作者有感于自己近十年来的思想变化，通过对“大家的森林•岐阜媒体中心”、爱媛县“大三岛计划”等最新建筑项目的梳理与沉思，指出现代主义建筑的极限，并展现出在这个时代中，人与人、人与自然相互依存的建筑可能性。
人们塑造建筑，建筑亦塑造人们的生活。回归质朴，重新思考人与建筑的未来。
