再创历史 – 时境建筑的历史观图景经过近年的建筑市场理性化的过程, 中国建筑不再像10年前一样展示出对英雄主义的新建筑的依赖; 激烈的市场竞争促使更加理性化的建筑思考, 带来了对现有建筑的更新改造设计的巨量需求。身处在这个洪流当中, 作为建筑实践者的时境建筑没有脱离整个大环境, 而是积极参与并思考这种特殊的物质条件。

相对于欧洲等地区, 中国有其不同的建筑条件, 比如过去的建筑的质量并没有特别理想或者历史文脉特征, 而是以一种比较便宜的、快速搭建的形态出现; 比如由于土地政策的问题, 很难拆掉后重新再现新的情况; 有些是由于现有的结构依然可以使用仅做外部更新即可。但这中间往往是掺杂着对功能的重新构建, 时境建筑面对这些问题也会需要考虑如何处理多方面的不同需求。

时境建筑在中国的9年实践当中, 建筑改造类的项目从开始的20%上升到近年来的50%甚至60%。面对这个重大的建筑课题我们该采取怎样的态度对待历史、对待既有的物理环境呢? 对于情况非常好的、结构质量保存完好的改造对象来说, 我们是修旧如旧还是自命不凡对其爆改呢?

时境建筑坚持对每一个建筑的既有条件进行分析的态度, 既不墨守成规, 又不完全割裂历史。我们认为对待历史应该拥有设计者自己的创新思想, 产生新的建筑语言的同时要尊重历史。

经过对过去工作的整理, 形成了在5个层面上的不同力度的设计点, 功能、结构、流 线、材料和细部。通过这些整理自然形成了一张针对历史进行物理操作的宏观图景, 在这个图景下开启了我们重构历史的思考, 展示了时境的历史观的力量。

After the rationalization of the construction market in recent years, Chinese architecture no longer shows its dependence on the heroic new architecture as it did 10 years ago. Fierce market competition promotes more rational architectural thinking and brings huge demand for the renovation design of existing buildings. In the midst of this good, as a practitioner of architecture, Atelier Alter’s work is not isolated from the overall environment, but actively participates in and thinks about this special physical condition.

Compared with Europe and other regions, China has different construction conditions. For example, the quality of buildings in the past was not ideal or featured by historical context. Or, because of the problem of land policy, it is di cult to rebuild the new situation after demolition; Some of this is because existing structures can still be used for external updates only. However, this is often mixed with the re-construction of program. When faced with these problems, Atelier Alter also needs to consider how to deal with various needs.

In the 9 years of practice in China, Atelier Alter’s renovation projects have increased from 20% at the beginning to 50% or even 60% in recent years. What attitude should we take towards history and existing physical environment in the aspect of this significant architectural issue? For those in good structural quality, do we repair the old as before or change everything?

Atelier Alter holds the attitude of studying the existing conditions of each building, which neither sticks to conventions nor completely separated from its history. We believe that architects should have their own challenging ideas in dealing with history and respect history while generating new architectural syntaxes.

After archiving the past works, we have formed the language in ve levels, with different emphasis, which are programs, structures, circulations, materials and details. Through these arrangements, a macroscopic picture of physical operation of history is naturally formed. Under this atlas, we start to think about the reconstruction of history and demonstrate the power of historical view of circumstances.
