    有一类建筑的历史堪比一部未完成的交响乐。这些建筑如同跨越世纪的间断性叙事,时而高潮迭起,时而静默无声。其中最具标志性的例子便是圣家堂,它已历经一个多世纪的建造,并有望在本十年内竣工。尽管百年的建造历程已属不易,但同类建筑中还有一座建筑的历史更为悠久:位于西班牙南部的马拉加大教堂,其建造过程已跨越五个多世纪。 受文艺复兴风格的影响,这座大教堂于1528年开始建造。自此以后,其建造过程在历史上屡经中断,最终成为了一座未完工的地标性建筑。大教堂至今仍缺一座塔楼,其立面也有未完成的部分,而且由于缺少覆盖结构,其拱顶直接暴露于风雨之中。多年来,这里进行了多项工程,包括最近为游客通往穹顶而进行的改造,但还有一项重要任务尚待完成:山墙屋顶。该屋顶最初由文图拉·罗德里格斯于1764年提出设计,如今这一设计经过重新构想,将采用现代木结构建筑技术来实施。 继罗德里格斯的项目之后,一组当代建筑师受托设计并建造一座新屋顶。他们将与 Egoin...

Concepts such as beauty, quality, and variety drive much of the design process of these spaces, encouraging what some might perceive as an aspiration for perfection in all dimensions.

    战争、去殖民化、经济危机、民众运动以及工业技术革命:20 世纪是一个激进且影响深远的变革时期。这些动荡重塑了社会,并重新定义了人们表达不断演进愿望的方式,而建筑在其中发挥了引领作用。机器和工业化带来了技术进步和现代化的承诺,主张彻底摒弃过去那些装饰繁复、历史悠久的风格,转而拥抱一种以功能性、效率和创新为核心的愿景。现代主义所体现的这一转变,引入了新概念、新方法和新材料的应用——所有这些都是通过实验形成的。 受工业革命带来的加速发展和连接性的影响,这一运动催生了一场跨代际的断裂,最终达成了全球性的融合,带来了首次几乎在世界各地同时发展的论文和方法。这一运动始于欧洲,但迅速传播到其他大陆。虽然现代主义的基本原则相同,但不同地区基于当地文化、背景和社会,发展出了自己的讨论。 建筑应该是我们时代的表达,而不是对过去文化的抄袭。——勒·柯布西耶...

    Every detail in the construction of an environment has a significant impact. The layout, composition, furniture, color range, and materials work together to create a cohesive and immersive experience in the perception of space. In bathroom design, this integration extends beyond aesthetics, aiming to ensure that every choice— from materiality to the form of furniture— contributes to economically viable, functional spaces with an aesthetic that doesn't rely on exclusivity.
