住宅分析你们选哪个的
波尔多 库哈斯的
我听说他有个以fly为主题的房子

喔吁……你们资料室里关于住宅分析的资料书多伐
正在遨游！
A couple lived in a very old, beautiful house in Bordeaux.
Eight years ago,
they wanted a new house, maybe, a very simple house.
They were looking at
different architects.
Then, the husband had a car accident.
He almost died,
but he survived.
Now he needs a wheelchair.
Two years later, the couple began to think about the
house again.
Now the new house could liberate the husband from the prison
that
their old house and the medieval city had become.
“Contrary to what you would expect”
he told the
architect,
“I do not want a simple house.
I want a complex house, because the
house will define my world...”.
They bought a mountain with panoramic view over
the city.
The architect proposed a house - or actually three
houses on top of each other.
The lowest one was cave-like
- a series of caverns
carved out from the hill for the most intimate life of the family.
The highest house was divided in a house for the
couple and a house for the children.
The most important house was almost invisible,
sandwiched in-between:
a glass room - half inside, half outside - for living.
The man had his own “room”, or rather “station”.
A
lift, 3 by 3.5 m.
that
moved freely between the 3 houses;
changing plan and performance when it “locked”
into one of the floors or floated above.
A single “wall” intersected each
house, next to the elevator.
It contained everything the husband might need -
books, artwork and in the cellar, wine...
The movement of the elevator changed each time the
architecture of the house.
A machine was its heart.
一对夫妻住在波尔多的一幢很古老、美丽的房子里。
8年前，他们想要一幢新房子，也许是一幢非常简单的房子。
他们去找了几个建筑师。
然后，丈夫出了车祸，差点丧命，但还是活了过来。
现在，轮椅是他生活的必需品。
两年后，这对夫妻又开始想到这幢房子。
他们希望这幢房子可以将丈夫从“监狱”中解放出来，
因为他们的老房子和所在的城市在中世纪曾经做过监狱。
“与你们想的相反”，
那个丈夫告诉建筑师，
“我不要一幢简单的房子。
我要一幢复杂的房子，因为这幢房子将重新定义我的世界……”
他们买了一能俯瞰城市全景的山。
建筑师建议盖一幢房子
——或者实际上是三幢房子，一幢比一幢的位置高。
最低的一幢像个山洞
——从小山上挖出一系列的洞穴供这个家庭的最亲昵的人的生活所用。
最高的房子分成两部分：一部分供夫妻俩，另一部分供孩子们使用。
最重要的房子差不多是看不见的，像三明治那样夹在中间：
一座玻璃的房间，其中一半在里面，一半在外面（作为起居室）。
男主人有他自己的“工作站”（与其称为“房间”还不如称为“工作站”）。
这是一座电梯，3*3m，能够在三幢房子之间自由地来来去去。
当电梯“锁定”在三层楼中的一层或是浮在上面时，它会改变计划和性能。
一堵在电梯旁边单独的“墙”与每一幢房子相交。
墙里面放置了丈夫需要的每一样东西——书籍、艺术作品，还有地窖里的酒等等。
电梯的每一次运动改变了房子的建筑布置，
这样，一台机器便成为了房屋的心脏。
只想说，作为全国高校最大的建筑资料室的合法使用者，我很辜负它。
我们只是看了照片就决定做House near Bordeaux
不知道是Koolhaas的，不知道它的主题是fly，也不知道它是为残疾人设计的。
在感到十分有趣的同时，也发现自己其实所知甚少。
