尼邁耶設計的這座旅館從外面看起來十分封閉,但令人驚訝的是,其室內空間卻光線充沛。開放式的平面圍繞中央庭院展開。漂浮的屋頂看起來是裝飾性的,它由4 個柱子支撐,賦予屋頂下的水平向空間以抽象美。清水混凝土從內到外主導著旅館,部分內墻卻特意使用了石材,這一點在尼邁耶的作品中并不常見,正因如此,也給室內空間帶來了一絲鄉土感。
我們的任務是改造這樣一座完全內向性的建筑。
我們的介入方式自然地考慮到了建筑的上述特征,特意揭示并增強這座建筑的“DNA”。在概念上,我們保留了圍繞中央庭院的寬敞的開放式平面的特質,但在功能上,我們把大空間劃分成一系列小空間,以滿足計劃搭建的木工設計平臺的需求。這些空間由一系列輕鋼與玻璃分隔界定,它們呼應了屋頂結構網格的節奏,各個空間相互連接,并與中央庭院相通。固定的和可移動的門板組合形成活潑的節奏,光影與透明感回蕩其間,門板可根據功能需要而開放或封閉。
方案采用的材料的色調與我們初次見到這座建筑時的狀態保持一致,保留了它未完成的混凝土的灰色,令人聯想起博覽會場地的地面。混凝土作為材料和作為顏色的復原能力為這座建筑所處的未完工的博覽會園區帶來了一種永恒性和樸素感。我們有意地接納這種永恒性,并將“單色性”作為設計的一項基本元素。屋頂、墻壁、地板、木工用具和金屬門框都以灰色為主色,有助于體現建筑原有的輕質的室內氛圍,模糊室內外的界限。
項目的一個矛盾點在于,建筑的新功能是暫時性的。在接下來5 年,這座旅館建筑會用作一個木工設計平臺,但它也可能在未來回到最初的旅館功能??紤]到這個矛盾的存在,我們的設計介入是可逆的。無論是輕質的玻璃分隔,還是照明與機械設備,都可以在未來拆除,為其他新功能留出空間,而尼邁耶原本設計意圖的完整性將保持不變。□ (母卓爾 譯)
Overwhelmingly opaque in appearance, the Guest House surprises with its light flooded interior space, an open floor plan punctured by a central courtyard.Its floating roof, seemingly ornamental,sits on four columns and renders the "horizontal"space beneath as abstract.Fair faced concrete dominates the Guest House inside out, however the deliberate use of stone on some internal walls, an uncommon practice in Niemeyer's work, introduces a sense of vernacular to the inside.
We were asked to meddle with a fundamentally introverted building.
Our intervention naturally took into account the above-mentioned features, deliberately revealing and most importantly enhancing the "DNA" that composes the structure.The expansive open plan revolving around the central courtyard was conceptually preserved but programmatically broken down into a series of spaces to accommodate the needs of the desired platform.Defined by a series of lightweight steel and glass partitions registering the rhythmic ceiling structural grid, the spaces connect to each other and to the courtyard.Light, shadow and transparency reverberate through a playful tempo of fixed and operable panels, allowing for openness or segregation when needed.
The proposed material palette and colour tones remained true to the state in which we first encountered the building - in its unfinished concrete grey colour - reminiscent of the Fair grounds.The resilience of concrete as a material, but also as a colour, gives a sense of timelessness and austerity to the incomplete city in which the building resides.We have intentionally embraced this timelessness and introduced "monochromatism" as an integral part of the design intervention: Ceilings, walls, floors,millwork and metal frames, all predominantly grey,help reveal the building's original weightless interiors,blurring thresholds between inside and outside.
Paradoxically, the programmatic use of the new space is ephemeral.Used as a design platform and prototyping facility for the next five years, the Guest House could one day reclaim its original use.It is this paradox that made our intervention reversible through time: the lightweight partitions, lighting fixtures and machinery could be removed, leaving place for another programme to take over; however, the integrity of the original design intent would stay untouched.□

評論
穆斯塔法·容迪:奧斯卡·尼邁耶設計的黎巴嫩的黎波里博覽會是中東的重要現代建筑遺產之一,對它進行設計介入是極具挑戰性的任務。然而,在旅館改造項目中,East建筑工作室巧妙地讓這棟小建筑重獲新生,他們的策略是保留建筑的現代獨立形式,并突出自然采光的中央庭院。在保留建筑的大部分細節的同時,新置入的金屬軸玻璃門板使中央空間充滿活力,實現室內外空間的連續過渡。此外,通過對尼邁耶在巴西利亞的類似建筑作品的研究與參考,該項目成功地在當下展現了尼邁耶在建筑界的全球影響力。(母卓爾 譯)
青鋒:并沒有很多人知道奧斯卡·尼邁耶在黎巴嫩還有博覽會園區這樣一個項目。因為戰爭的影響,這個1960年代的工程從未真正完工,在的黎波里留下一個橢圓形的“遺址”。在他去世6年之后,這座旅館終于改造完成。令人感嘆的是,負責改造的建筑師所做的一切,似乎僅僅是完成尼邁耶的設計而已,早先設計中醒目的混凝土梁與方形內院,仍然是項目最有吸引力的元素。這是一個令人欽佩的克制。雖然我們并不知道當時尼邁耶所設想的是什么樣的完成效果,但是East建筑工作室令人信服地展現了60年前這個設計的杰出品質。他們就像考古學家,默默地挖掘和恢復了一件珍品。這種美德比設計更為崇高。

Comments
Mustapha Jundi: Intervening on one of the Middle East's architecture modern legacies - the Oscar Niemeyer's Fairground in Tripoli, Lebanon - is an extremely challenging task.However, East Architecture Studio beautifully and carefully revived a small building within the fair complex by preserving its modern discrete form and highlighting its naturally lit central patio.While retaining most of the building's details, the newly added metal pivoting panels animate the central space and allow for a smooth spatial continuity with the outdoor.In addition, by researching and referencing Niemeyer's similar building in Brasilia, the intervention succeeds in truly embodying in the present the architect's global impact on architecture.
QING Feng: Not many people know about Oscar Niemeyer's Tripoli Fairground in Lebanon.The project, firstly started in the 1960s, was never really completed due to the civil war, leaving an oval "heritage site" in Tripoli.Six years after Niemeyer's death, the guest house was finally renovated.Astoundingly, all the architect did in the renovation project was to finish Niemeyer's design.The concrete beams and the square courtyard in the original design are still the most appealing elements of the project, which reflects an admirable restraint.While we could not know what Niemeyer would want the project end up looking, East Architecture Studio convincingly demonstrates the outstanding quality of the project that was designed 60 years ago.Like archeologists, the architect excavated and restored a treasure.This virtue is more noble than the design itself.(Translated by MU Zhuo'er)
