汉润里 Portfolio - HanRun Li Case

[汉润里调查研究]是我在大学三年级建筑设计课上进行的一次练习(指导老师:周卫老师,研究小组的成员:刘慧杰、章菊新、秦炜、刘思)。汉润里的调查更多的是在社会层面进行的,居住在房子里的人以及他们的故事,比物质的建筑能给我们更多更直接的认知反馈。通过半年的调查、走访、设计方案的论证,实践了一个建筑系学生拓展自身身份中社会属性的过程。

汉润里建成于1919年,位于武汉汉口的租界,是近代最早的房地产开发项目模式。时代的变迁使得住在里面的人由最早的富商权贵到今天的平民阶层(更多的是贫困人群)。建筑的物质形态近百年没有发生变化,早已不能满足人与社会关系的变迁。里分、历史建筑、私搭乱建、平民窟、搬迁是汉润里今天的几个关键词。

这个练习过程帮助我认识到建筑师的责任不仅仅是建房子和设计物质环境。在与公众利益直接相关的事件中起推动作用或参与决策的能力建筑师并不缺乏,可深入下去往往是困难重重,图纸上的设想最终难以变成现实。

Retrospect {an interview with H.H.Lim} 20/10/2008

回顾从08年10月到09年3月这半年拜访的艺术家、建筑师、策展人。感谢他们与我聊天、为我微不足道的论文提供线索和指导。也让我从一次次谈话中获得的不仅仅是知识上的丰富,更有对各不相同但同样精彩的人生的感慨。

第一位是在罗马见到H.H.Lim,他是生活在罗马的艺术家。通过挪威卑尔根建筑学校(Bergen Architecture School)校长Svein Hatloy的介召,我从卑尔根到威尼斯看建筑双年展,从威尼斯专程到罗马拜访他。林辉华是华人,虽然生在长在意大利,但仍然能看到为了融入另一个文化付出过的许多努力。他是一个很有才华年轻有为的艺术家,他做的海鲜意大利面和葡萄酒使得随后的谈话异常愉快。


H.H.Lim & LIU Si (林辉华&刘思)

part of the interview:
Why you chose to stay in Rome and live your life here?

Home is the world, you really can close your eyes, and walk around every corner and recognize everything. This is also why a lot of people, they stick to one point of view. No matter how you travel, in the end you need a base.


How you regard architecture takes part in whole art performance. As architecture take part in Biennale, the art biennale, 11th architecture biennale while 53rd art biennale. What is your opinion on the relation between architecture and art?

Architecture has to take part from art. The artist and architecture are combined well with each other, it was so well I think it was
until around 1960s, 1950s, it became separated-architects and artists. Now it is time to go back together. Because you have to have same ideas.

Architecture is a box that should contain art. It have to be. If you have that box without art, it is empty. But when you go back 500 years, Davinci is an architect, it is so normal, but why it is so strange today. We made a mistake because the world war. After the war, the economy had to grow as fast as possible, they don’t have that on mind to search for beauty. Now you can realize that moment is over, that war for so many years, now we have time to look for beauties and concept, looking for ideas. It is a good thing, I think architecture is a so big instrument that you can dominate art. Because it is spectacular, so artists have difficulties, we are individuals, we don’t have such instrument to build, such expensive thing. When talk about our moment, I think architecture have big opportunity, because there are so many chances for architects.

Can you give me some advise in the field of exhibition and public communication between artist and art, as well as between the mass public and architects. Misunderstanding, relation between public communication and artists.

What artist want to say is a long term saying, because they know they have to say for 50 times, that is why they choose to say nothing in the end. They realizes they can not explain, because it is not like architecture, you build one building slowly, artists built one painting everyday, you have no way to explain it.

So it is big responsibility, so architects have to be in a team. It is no more personal. But artist is personal. Public come only when things become popular, public can understand like Ai Weiwei, Cai Guoqiang, all these things.

Journalist is someone brings art to public. That is why we call 5 fingers-artist, collector, art critics, museum and gallery, all these things you need to become one thing. I guess it is the same with architecture, you need these five things together now, you can’t lack of any of these things.
