家裡有長軰年近百,生活規律,飲食簡單,晨昏運動,腦清目明,最特別的是:他吃燕窩。本草綱目有言:大養肺陰,化痰止嗽,補而能清,為調理虛勞之聖藥!且說明其由來:閩之遠海近番處,有燕名金絲者。首尾似燕而甚小,毛如金絲。臨卵育子時群飛進汐砂泥有石處,啄蠶螺食。有詢海商,聞之土番云,蠶螺背上肉有兩肋如楓蠶絲, 堅潔而白,食之可補虛損,已勞痢。故此燕食之,肉化而肋不化,並律液嘔出,結為小窩附石上。久之,與小雛鼓翼而飛,海人依時拾之,故曰燕窩。

當初看到北京奧運主場館鳥巢與水立方的設計圖,第一個聯想竟然是燕窩!鳥巢不用講了,那水立方呢?原設計者不諱言,發想的起點是:用多面球體去填空間!本來這就是古來數學與物理感興趣的事,他採用的是3/4的14面與1/4的12面球體,稱Weaire-Phelan Structre(1993年兩位理論物理學家發明)。

且不論天圓的鳥巢與地方的水立方,華夏先民崇拜鳳鳥,古建飛簷(脊)翼角活脱是鳳鳥的形象。誰說新與舊的建築不能有古與今的聯繫呢?何妨稱水立方為燕窩?

下月本與朋友相約在北京,但貪玩的本性不改,於是想來趟北京新建+山西古建+蘇州園林之旅,為此還在網路上另闢一個小灶:http://ahsan-locomotion.blogspot.com/

有興趣的去看看吧!響應站長外連呼籲!先聲明那裡只談閉月羞花,哦不,走馬看花!

北京的鳥建築

現在北京的方正格局,是明成祖在約1420年規劃建成的。當地人習稱故宮(紫禁城)是一環,二環底下是最早的北京捷運(1970年建),三環最知名的是第11屆的亞運(1990年),2008的奧運村在四/五環之間。中軸線在中國歷代建築與城市都有崇高的地位,故宮/亞運村/奧運村都在中軸線上。

<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2151/2325791398_91c638f52a_o.jpg" width="520" height="325" alt="北京地鐵"> 北京地鐵

新建的北邊(五環)的奧運公園(有紐約中央公園2倍大),裡面有鳥巢和燕窩(詳上文,中軸線在其中穿過),往南在天安門(故宮正門)前則有個巨鳥蛋(國家劇院,裡面有三個廳:歌劇/音樂/影院,座位各約2000/2000/1000席)。

國家劇院從這個角度看像不像穿著三角褲的屁股?

華夏民族自古是個崇拜鳳鳥的民族,中國古建築特色飛簷翼角是最適合的描述,在有鳳來儀(這是個好辭)的故宮基礎上,北邊新建一座大公園,裡有2座大鳥窩,在故宮前再下一個巨蛋,新北京是鳥建築聚落,誰曰不宜?

一座城市要幾座驚豔的建築?

初見達利那扭曲時間,空間與重力的畫,我傻了。後來在大學學了愛因斯坦的理論,原來達利所見更為真實(日本人很聰明,把surreal翻成超現實),現實不過是在更高維度的真實投影到低維度空間的成像。

我是個心思單純的人,從此把超出現實想像又美好的事物統稱作驚豔:冬天穿著貂皮的貴婦,夏天海邊比基尼靚妹,我只有直乎驚豔的份。也曾經驚豔於西雅圖庫哈斯的公立圖書館,這位生長於印尼,學建築於倫敦,悟道於紐約的荷蘭佬,我肯定他是永遠讓人驚豔的都會建築師。

只是哼著温馨的北京童謠:小板凳你莫歪,讓我爹爹坐下來,我替爹爹捶捶背,爹爹叫我好寶貝!。。。。。。不禁要問:一個婦人要多少貂皮幾件比基尼?一座城市要幾座驚豔的建築?

動物為了生存,都必需生產(包含狩獵/農耕/製造。。。),但會交易的不多。人類為萬物之靈,在兩方面都是佼佼者。偏遠的鄉下,大家約定一個日子來交易,稱趕集。在都市裡,有各種市場,除了賣生鮮食材花卉生活用品的傳統市場,現代有更多的超市與百貨公司,但也有許多傳統特色商品的市場,例如北京廠甸的文物,潘家園的古董。台北的光華電子商場或者濱江漁市場或者五分埔成衣市場是我常去逛的地方,不見得買東西,只為感受那種結市的熱閙。

約2~30年前開始,世界各大都市的藝術家發現一種天堂,即閒置的工業廠房或倉庫,因為租金低,甚至免費,他們進住,按需要修葺,慢慢變成很具特色的藝術村。知名的在美國有NY曼哈頓的Meatpacking District 或LA的 Arts District。 北京的798也是這種類似的地方,原先是50年代蘇聯援助東德設計興建的捅拱RC結構包浩斯式的廠房。(台北也有華山藝文區,但規模較小)。

這種房型的再設計特名loft style(loft原意是屋頂下閒置閣樓),特色是室內空間高大寛敝,沒有隔間,現在甚至影響到私房設計。

這次北京行,我想花一整天在798逛!閒置空間的再利用,己經變成今天建築設計的主要思潮之一了。

附上一篇一個英國人對北京首都機場三航站啟用的評論,文章不長,提了很多觀點,例如:

1。英國人在北京拿了不少建築業務;北京有超強的公權力;
2。中國人仍然相信風水;
3。中國採用了美式的建設方式,公路(汔車)+機場(計劃中10年內還有97個機場);
4。中國每5天啟用一座火力發電場;
5。中國一胎化政策。。。。

作者給了一個標題:北京將進入一個不永續的未來

英國與中國隔了一個地球,但在華南暴雪帶給澎湖漁民寒害,沙塵暴直接帶來空氣中戴奧辛增量的台灣,我們能做什麼? 想想吧!

Beijing flies into an unsustainable future(by Gus Alexander)
http://www.building.co.uk/story.asp?sto ... gdailynews

It’s that man again. This time it is only the biggest building ever built. On time, within budget – and, from the photographs I’ve seen, it looks sensational as well. Unusually for a Foster building, new Terminal 3 building at Beijing Capital International Airport is in colour, to keep in with the general traditions of Chinese buildings and with feng shui in particular.
I knew that the feng shui man had a look over Norman (as he was then) Foster’s plans for the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, but I only recently discovered that when he approached I.M.Pei, the American-Chinese architect for the Bank of China building next door – which now dwarfs it – he was sent packing with a “We don’t believe all that mediaeval nonsense any more” flea in his ear.
To give you an idea of the length of the consultation process in China, Foster’s Beijing airport terminal was built in less time than it took just to hold the inquiry into a third runway at Heathrow. Actually, so was Kansai airport. Even so, it’s a pretty amazing achievement. Particularly as it has taken me 11 months to get planning approval to put another floor on a Victorian building in Westminster.
The engineer on the airport, Arup in some guise, is also building the Herzog & de Meuron “bird’s nest” stadium and the Rem Koolhaas media centre. So it’s quite a busy time for British builders in Beijing, one way and another. Let’s hope we get our own buildings finished as efficiently for the 2012 Olympics.
Frankly, I find the whole idea of the Chinese technological revolution pretty scary. It is all very well me dutifully putting in a compact fluorescent lightbulb here and there, but China is opening a new coal-fired power station every five days.
Beijing airport is supposed to be sustainable. I am not really sure what a sustainable airport is. It is not particularly reassuring (except for airport builders, no doubt) to discover that China is planning to build a few more airports over the next 10 years – well, 97 more airports, in fact. Will all these be sustainable? Or will they be built by the home team on the Trabant model? Airports, like motorways, generate traffic.
There is a “green city” being built somewhere in China on all the soundest ecological principles, but most of the development one reads about seems to be on the American model. Cars. Roads. More cars. Carbon. We in the developed West have had three-car families for years – why shouldn’t the Chinese?
It occurs to me that one of the by-blows of Mao’s “one child per family” policy is that these days the whole place must be run by people who have no extended families. Everyone is an only child. And only children, much more than the rest of us, are used to getting what they want.
That seems to be what is happening in China. So, while it is great that the showpiece entry-port for the Olympics is another masterpiece by Lord Foster, I view stories about building and development in China more with foreboding than with enthusiasm.

徐霞客與丁文江

徐霞客(1587~1641)是明末的旅遊探險家,為何一輩子在外吃苦旅行?清末民初另一位旅遊地質家丁文江(1887.4.13~1936.1.5)在他編的徐霞客遊记 說:乃求知之念專,則盜賊不足畏,蠻夷不能阻,政亂不能動,獨往孤行,死而后己。

我愛旅行,唸大學時常一個人去爬山,如果是長假,就會留在山區部落打點零工。我沒有目的,也沒有文采,但行囊中一定放兩本書:鄭愁予的詩(他寫了很多台灣大山的詩)及丁文江編的徐霞客遊记。做事以後,隔幾年,我會獨自去流浪,有時長達半年。其實到今天,即使先進國家如歐美日等的鄉間,物質條件與現今都會生活比,還是算很差的,但是他們如此這般活了千百年。

我沒有丁文江的概歎:今天下之亂,不及明季,學術之衰,又復過之,而青年之士,不知自奮,徒借口世亂,甘自暴棄,觀先生之風,其也可以自愧也乎!

但有時和他有一樣的感覺:竹似偽君子,外堅中郤空。成群能蔽日,獨立不經風。根細成攢穴,腰細慣鞠躬。文人多愛此,聲氣想相同。

現在出外遊行有目的了,即看不同的建築與生活! 心裡其實很高興。
