正如中國(guó)的水墨山水畫，往往不是一般的風(fēng)景畫，是作者關(guān)于人與自然哲思的藝術(shù)表達(dá)，中國(guó)園林，也不是一般意義上的景觀，它是富含中國(guó)人文與自然觀念的游憩空間。

泰國(guó)曼谷中國(guó)文化中心的景觀設(shè)計(jì)，通過當(dāng)代性的設(shè)計(jì)語言回答“中國(guó)文化”的同時(shí)，也是探尋表達(dá)現(xiàn)代中國(guó)文化自然觀的過程。

定義了庭院進(jìn)入空間的“折徑通幽”、前庭空間的“闊朗明亮”和后院空間的“深幽平靜”之后，設(shè)計(jì)師將表達(dá)的重點(diǎn)放在下沉庭院的經(jīng)營(yíng)上。

將中國(guó)園林中符號(hào)性的有洞景石，進(jìn)行人工切割，安置為水院出水口，形成裝置性的“重器”。這里人工與自然痕跡并存，為現(xiàn)代性的“中國(guó)味”點(diǎn)著了一盞燈。

水往低處流，連接后院與下沉庭院的“高山流水”景觀瀑布，則構(gòu)成了“中國(guó)文化中心”的點(diǎn)睛之筆。所謂“高山流水遇知音”，中國(guó)文化中心的設(shè)置，本意為文化交流，是尋找“知音”的一種姿態(tài)，是故，“高山流水”也算點(diǎn)題為之。設(shè)計(jì)師用斐波那契數(shù)列的數(shù)值關(guān)系，讓石塊從上到下，由大變小，使得水體在流落的時(shí)候，水片由整滑而碎飛，展現(xiàn)動(dòng)態(tài)水景的美麗，當(dāng)然，也結(jié)合了臺(tái)階的轉(zhuǎn)折和種植空間，幾何性地呈現(xiàn)了抽象的山水意向。

在自然的鬼斧神工面前，人類的任何抄描模擬都顯滑稽。因此，在這里，設(shè)計(jì)師放棄了真實(shí)山水的模擬，而是搭建一種人工痕跡的自然，使其成為自然或是人類表演的“舞臺(tái)”，并成為人與自然溝通的媒介。(房木生)

Chinese water-ink landscape paintings, which often carry more meaning than generic landscape paintings, represent the artist's interpretation of man’s relationship with nature. This is equally true for Chinese gardens. These gardens do not merely intend to recreate a picturesque landscape, they are also recreational spaces that express the unique Chinese view of the relationship between man and nature.

When the landscape designer of the Chinese Cultural Center in Bangkok, Thailand attempts to interpret the meaning of "Chinese culture" using a modern design language, he also explores ways to convey the modern Chinese philosophy of culture and nature.

Taking a "winding path leading to a secluded space", the visitor enters a sunken courtyard, where the designer focuses his expression. Meanwhile, the vestibule space is "wide and bright" and the backyard is "deep and calm".

A single Tai hu stone, the symbol of Chinese gardens, has been artificially cut and displayed at the base of the waterfall and anchors the water themed courtyard. This coexistence of the artificial and the natural shines a light for the modern "Chinese flavor".

Water flows downwards. The "lofty mountain and flowing water" themed waterfall is the finishing touch on the "Chinese Cultural Center," connecting its secluded backyard to the central sunken courtyard. "Lofty mountain flowing water" refers to the ancient story of how rare it is to meet a very good friend or soul mate. The Chinese Cultural Center is intended to be a place for cultural exchange, and can certainly represent the search for a new friend. Indeed, "lofty mountain and flowing water" explicitly brings out the theme of the center. The designer borrows from Fibonacci numerical relationships here; large stones at the top devolve into smaller stones at the bottom. As the water flows, the surface changes from whole blocks to stone fragments, a dynamic and beautiful water scene. Meanwhile, the design also integrates turning stairs and planted spaces, representing an abstract but geometric notion of mountain and water.

Any human attempt to replicate nature is comical when compared to the beauty of the natural world. Therefore, the designer does not try to imitate an actual mountain waterfall, but instead consciously creates a landscape with artificial traces. The ensemble becomes a "stage" for a natural or human performance and a medium of communication between man and nature.(Translated by SUN Meng)

評(píng)論

鮑威：景觀與建筑風(fēng)格是否統(tǒng)一，對(duì)項(xiàng)目成敗至關(guān)重要。此案的建筑設(shè)計(jì)是對(duì)抬梁建筑形式的繁復(fù)表達(dá)，景觀設(shè)計(jì)亦走此“繁復(fù)”路線，無論是疊水石塊的堆砌，還是削切的洞石，對(duì)形式復(fù)雜性的追求可謂與建筑相得益彰。與貝聿銘的蘇州博物館建筑與景觀所創(chuàng)造的靜雅氛圍不同，此處繁復(fù)充滿趣味，更為直白易懂，活潑生動(dòng)，親人與世俗。

鄭曉笛：在不足1hm2的場(chǎng)地中用景觀詮釋博大精深的“中國(guó)文化”，是個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。設(shè)計(jì)師通過賦予每個(gè)庭院不同的空間特質(zhì)來展現(xiàn)中國(guó)文化的多個(gè)側(cè)面。點(diǎn)睛之筆“高山流水”讓人不禁聯(lián)想到美國(guó)風(fēng)景園林師勞倫斯·哈普林在美國(guó)波特蘭市設(shè)計(jì)的伊拉凱勒水景廣場(chǎng)，一中一西，一個(gè)源于“高山流水遇知音”，一個(gè)取靈感于美國(guó)西部的壯美瀑布，異曲同工。

Comments

BAO Wei： This project aims to explore the beauty of complexity of raised beams in traditional Chinese architecture. The landscape design follows this paradigm and includes features such as a cascading waterfall, and the slicing of porous stone. In contrast to the simple elegant atmosphere present in Pei's Suzhou Museum, the complexity here fosters a visual interest and vibrancy in the design that makes the project approachable and easy to understand.

ZHENG Xiaodi： Trying to convey the sophistication of "Chinese culture" in a landscape design on a site of less than 1 hectare is quite a challenge. Each courtyard is given a distinct identity in order to express a particular aspect of Chinese culture. The centerpiece, named "Mountain and Flowing Water," is reminiscent of the American landscape architect, Lawrence Halprin's renowned Ira Keller Fountain in Portland, Oregon. The two projects, one stemming from an ancient Chinese anecdote of finding true friendship in high mountains with flowing water, the other inspired by grand waterfalls in the American west, achieve similar effects through different means.
