隈研吾?长城脚下的公社?竹屋（上）
Kengo Kuma's Great Bamboo Wall
日本建筑师隈研吾有个奇怪的名字，不过更怪的是他的建筑理论：“让建筑消失”。建筑物不都是高耸挺立的吗？何谓“消失”呢？
这个怪蜀黍在设计长城脚下的竹屋后这样说：
Our first aim was to learn from the formality of the Great Wall.
我们的第一个目标是学习长城的建造形式。
We were attracted to the fact that the Great Wall has never been an isolated object.
吸引着我们的是，长城从来没有成为一个孤立的个体。
It running almost endlessly along the undulating ridgeline（起伏的山脊线） without being isolated from the surrounding environment.
它沿着连绵起伏的山脊几乎消失于我们的视线，却从未从周遭环境中孤立出来
That appealed to us as a criticism toward the conventional form of 'architecture’ that tends to seek to be an isolated object among the environment.
这呼吁我们对于那些传统的与环境隔离的建筑形式作出批判。
（翻译水平有限，欢迎拍砖。）
这样看来，“让建筑消失”似乎就是让建筑与环境浑然一体嘛，咱们老祖宗还挺新潮的呢！
话不多说，还是让我们来看看这个与"The Great Wall" 一样“消失”的"Bamboo Wall"吧~~
这座建在狭窄的山岩之上的建筑姿态舒展,与环境浑然一体。
建筑师大量运用竹子这一简单而朴质的材料将中国的传统建筑风格和日本建筑的空间感有机结合，体现了东方文明的精神气质和艺术风格。
With this project,a guesthouse located close to the Great Wall, Kuma intended to reinterpret（重新解释） traditional qualities of Chinese architecture through the use of bamboo as both structural and non-structural element.The architect was intrigued by（着迷于） the characteristics of this material: as opposed to（与...形成对照） other wood products, which are all processed in one way or another before they are used in as building materials, bamboo can only be used in its original form and is thus both a material and a product at the same time.
Kuma's design, in which he applies his usual method of "particlization," especially emphasizes the disposition of bamboo as material. Positioning the individual pieces of the wood so as to resemble bamboo in its natural environment, Kuma seems to reveal the true essence of this material in his design.
注：particlization这词貌似英语词典里都找不到，而particle是粒子的意思。在搜索隈研吾的建筑理论时，总能看到这样一段话：“对于建筑来说最重要的不是形态或造型，而是构成这个建筑的粒子。成功地设计出最合适的粒子，建筑与环境就能相互融合，建筑也就消失了。在这样的思考与实践中不是简单地把建筑埋起来而是用把建筑粉碎解体的方法来使建筑消失的可能性。”你懂否？ ..我头有点大…
Interior Views of Bamboo Lounge
The guesthouse's close proximity to the Great Wall was another important element in the design. The wall seems to run virtually endlessly along the undulating ridgeline（起伏的山脊线） of the mountainous landscape without being disconnected from its surrounding environment. Kuma wanted to endow（赋予） his project, which he deliberately（有意的） called a "wall" instead of a "house," with the same quality.
下面我们来看下它的设计图：Bamboo is applied extensively（广泛的） throughout the house to shape boundaries in the form of light screens, but the heart of the design is a lounge at the center of the building.

Interior Views of Bamboo Lounge
Serving as a small tearoom, this space, made up almost entirely of bamboo, is set in a shallow reflecting pool. It is reached by 2 stepping stones that form a small bridge and is open to the south toward the Great Wall, which is visible from this site.
A glass canopy shelters the lounge, while the use of bamboo beneath the glass and elsewhere filters（过滤） in light and provides the space with an ephemeral quality that makes the experience of this architecture especially memorable.

注： ephemeral本意指朝生暮死。这里指光透过玻璃天幕，经过一条条竹纹的筛选，飘洒在室内的空间，而这种空间的感觉是充满变化的。
