這個星期日我要歌頌上帝,哈利路亞!
這是一個美好的周日。當我呼吸著新鮮的空氣,欣賞這世界的美好的時候,我的心要醉了!
要感謝天父給了我無數的恩賜,無數的祝福。神愛世人,愛你,愛我,愛世界上每一個人,愛他的每一個他的奇妙的創作。
和朋友們分享一座美麗的建築。Cathedral of Christ the Light
這是一座美麗的天主教教堂,坐落與美國加利福尼亞州的OAKLAND市。它是我曾經工作過的一家世界頂級建築事務所的重量作品。他的主要設計師是國際著名的建築師,CRAIG HARTMAN先生。他的項目管理者是我曾經的一為學兄。他們都是非常優秀的人才,參與了一些非常重要的設計工作。這是我們公司的一次競標項目,在一些建築設計當中,他脫穎而出。這項競賽,就連著名西班牙建築師SANTIAGO CALATRAVA也沒有采用。
這坐教堂的設計非常新穎。他是一個“上帝之眼”的概念,是現代版的PANTHEON。采用的材料是非常輕盈環保的材料,溫暖的色彩,輕盈的木材。巧妙地采用了日常的光,也非常新穎地將現代幾何以及材料技術完美結合。它具有巧妙的結構,數學感的光影運用,以及科學的空氣流動,保暖,音響效果。其細節可以看到整體簡單而飽和的形體風格,總體視覺上又非常有層次感,並不單調,繁簡相應,是優秀的設計。這坐建築打破了舊派那種沉悶的宗教感,那種令人恐懼的感覺。而滲透了一種跨越感,體現多民族多文化互助互信的二十一世紀文明氣質。這是一種科學與靈性交融的非物質特征,理性與領悟的和諧,空靈,樂觀,而充滿了希望之光。當人類社會以理性的思考探索宇宙的奧秘,當我們用自己與生具來的智慧來突破死亡的困惑,我們就會重生,達到一種超越物質的境界,迎接那來自宇宙主宰的光輝與勝利。
這是一座OAKLAND地區的羅馬天主教堂。它也是二十一世界的第一坐教堂。它體現新的神學的領悟,更深更高的理性的信仰態度。也帶我們進入一個嶄新的世紀,一個充滿探索和興奮未來的時代!
下麵是一段非常詳細的專業評論,摘自建築學網站。
Oakland, California's cathedral, Oakland Cathedral of Christ the Light, is the first cathedral built in the 21st century. It has been abstracted into a modern structure still holding to an International style approach. Aside from a glowing, 58 foot tall perforated Romanesque Christ on aluminum panels, the interior is free of the traditional iconography often populating the walls of Catholic churches. The cathedral serves as a symbol of spiritual connectivity through the interaction of light and materiality. A reinforced concrete base holds a 136 foot ascension of glass, wood, and steel. Light passes through the effortless structure, fully illuminating its interior. The manipulation of light within the cathedral is an echo of the European and Gothic cathedrals in which the church used light as a vehicle for awe. A theatrical play of light through elaborate stained glass windows was a way of making the earth-bound feel connected to a higher power.
Oakland's Cathedral manages to maintain both an ephemeral and connective quality. As such, it is an architectural paradox. Architecture is a transient object. It may give the illusion of permanence, but it is impermanent. The Cathedral of Christ the Light appears weightless and fragile, yet it will stand for centuries to come. It is built with sustainably harvested douglas fir wood, which is structurally elastic and resilient to seismic events. A seismic base isolation system stabilizes the structure during earthquakes with a steel friction-pendulum moving in rhythmic motions. Still a distant cry to the immortal structure, but inspiring all the same. With the alternative utilization of materials in structure and redefining what architecture can be, we may someday have a building which will live forever, which is in itself a contradiction.
