尼迈耶旅馆改造项目，的黎波里，黎巴嫩

建筑设计：East建筑工作室

1 展览空间/Exhibition space

尼迈耶设计的这座旅馆从外面看起来十分封闭，但令人惊讶的是，其室内空间却光线充沛。开放式的平面围绕中央庭院展开。漂浮的屋顶看起来是装饰性的，它由4 个柱子支撑，赋予屋顶下的水平向空间以抽象美。清水混凝土从内到外主导着旅馆，部分内墙却特意使用了石材，这一点在尼迈耶的作品中并不常见，正因如此，也给室内空间带来了一丝乡土感。

我们的任务是改造这样一座完全内向性的建筑。

我们的介入方式自然地考虑到了建筑的上述特征，特意揭示并增强这座建筑的“DNA”。在概念上，我们保留了围绕中央庭院的宽敞的开放式平面的特质，但在功能上，我们把大空间划分成一系列小空间，以满足计划搭建的木工设计平台的需求。这些空间由一系列轻钢与玻璃分隔界定，它们呼应了屋顶结构网格的节奏，各个空间相互连接，并与中央庭院相通。固定的和可移动的门板组合形成活泼的节奏，光影与透明感回荡其间，门板可根据功能需要而开放或封闭。

方案采用的材料的色调与我们初次见到这座建筑时的状态保持一致，保留了它未完成的混凝土的灰色，令人联想起博览会场地的地面。混凝土作为材料和作为颜色的复原能力为这座建筑所处的未完工的博览会园区带来了一种永恒性和朴素感。我们有意地接纳这种永恒性，并将“单色性”作为设计的一项基本元素。屋顶、墙壁、地板、木工用具和金属门框都以灰色为主色，有助于体现建筑原有的轻质的室内氛围，模糊室内外的界限。

项目的一个矛盾点在于，建筑的新功能是暂时性的。在接下来5 年，这座旅馆建筑会用作一个木工设计平台，但它也可能在未来回到最初的旅馆功能。考虑到这个矛盾的存在，我们的设计介入是可逆的。无论是轻质的玻璃分隔，还是照明与机械设备，都可以在未来拆除，为其他新功能留出空间，而尼迈耶原本设计意图的完整性将保持不变。□ （母卓尔 译）

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.□

评论

穆斯塔法·容迪：奥斯卡·尼迈耶设计的黎巴嫩的黎波里博览会是中东的重要现代建筑遗产之一，对它进行设计介入是极具挑战性的任务。然而，在旅馆改造项目中，East建筑工作室巧妙地让这栋小建筑重获新生，他们的策略是保留建筑的现代独立形式，并突出自然采光的中央庭院。在保留建筑的大部分细节的同时，新置入的金属轴玻璃门板使中央空间充满活力，实现室内外空间的连续过渡。此外，通过对尼迈耶在巴西利亚的类似建筑作品的研究与参考，该项目成功地在当下展现了尼迈耶在建筑界的全球影响力。（母卓尔 译）

青锋：并没有很多人知道奥斯卡·尼迈耶在黎巴嫩还有博览会园区这样一个项目。因为战争的影响，这个1960年代的工程从未真正完工，在的黎波里留下一个椭圆形的“遗址”。在他去世6年之后，这座旅馆终于改造完成。令人感叹的是，负责改造的建筑师所做的一切，似乎仅仅是完成尼迈耶的设计而已，早先设计中醒目的混凝土梁与方形内院，仍然是项目最有吸引力的元素。这是一个令人钦佩的克制。虽然我们并不知道当时尼迈耶所设想的是什么样的完成效果，但是East建筑工作室令人信服地展现了60年前这个设计的杰出品质。他们就像考古学家，默默地挖掘和恢复了一件珍品。这种美德比设计更为崇高。

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)
