讲座简介

Both as gifts symbolizing the recovery of bilateral friendly relations after the international historical nodes, Japanese Exhibition House and Astor Court were both traditional garden-house from East Asian countries that were presented at the important exhibition spaces of America in the second half of the 20th century. They were both designed by local designers, manufactured by traditional craftsmen, and installed overseas, making resounding voices to the world for their countries’ architectural tradition. However, the motives for presenting these two garden houses, the selection and the redesign of the models, and the echoes from the world architecture society greatly differed and thereupon exerted significant influences on the courses of the two countries’ architectural traditions having been involved in forming the notion of modern architecture. By comparing the two projects, this lecture aims to provide some experiences from the early endeavors of translating East Asian architectural tradition into modern design for contemporary practices.

“日本住宅”与“明轩”，作为日中两国在美重要展馆展出的本国传统庭园实例，均为国际重大历史节点后象征双边友好关系复苏的礼物，皆由本国设计师设计、由传统工匠在国内制料而在海外展出，也是东亚两国以其传统建筑在国际舞台上的重要发声。剖析这两个文化输出案例在展览动机、蓝本选择、对蓝本的改造设计及其在建筑行业内的反馈等差异，将二者放到东亚传统建筑如何参与构建国际现代建筑语汇的历程中加以对比，意在给中国当代以园林研究为核心的建筑实践，提供相关的历史经验。
