隆福文化中心——旧地标的重获新生

Longfu Temple -- Reborn from Old Landmark

几个世纪以来，隆福寺见证了京城的繁华与兴盛。时至今日，都市的高速发展让它的光辉淹没于高耸的摩天大楼之中。人们只能在胡同四合院的间隙之间，瞥见这个曾经盛极一时的京城地标——隆福大厦。时间磨砺的痕迹依然深深印刻，它无言伫立，接纳遗忘，也静候新生。随着隆福文化中心的改造完成，沉睡的隆福寺在钢筋水泥的骨架里再次苏醒，在这座古城中继续撰写这属于它的篇章。

As an ancient poem says, "So many noble people have wandered about here, with the fragrance of incenses lingering on their clothes." For centuries, Longfu Temple has witnessed the prosperity of Beijing, the capital of China. Today, its glory has been shaded by the towering skyscrapers as a result of the rapid development of the city. People can only catch a glimpse of Longfu Mansion, previously well-known landmark of Beijing, from the gaps between quadrangle courtyards and Hutongs. The traces of time are still deeply imprinted on Longfu Temple. Standing here quietly, the temple accepts the fact of being forgotten, and waits peacefully for rebirth. With the completion of the renovation of Longfu Cultural Center, the sleeping Longfu Temple wakes up again within the skeleton of reinforced concrete, and continues to write its own chapter in this ancient city.

项目陈述

Project Narrative

隆福文化中心坐落于隆福大厦的屋顶，位于北京历史核心区，距离故宫1公里。隆福大厦是20世纪80年代建造在明清隆福寺旧址上的一座百货商场。隆福大厦被保护四合院围绕，也是北京内城中心区的制高点。盛极一时的隆福大厦在90年代的一场大火中被烧毁，自此以后随着现代生活方式的变化，隆福寺商圈逐渐衰败，再也无法重现往日的繁荣，渐渐退出北京人的生活。

Longfu Cultural Center is located on the roof of Longfu Mansion which is in the historical core area of Beijing, 1 km away from the Forbidden City. Longfu Mansion was originally a department store built in 1980s on the site of Longfu Temple which had its heyday in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Surrounded by protected quadrangle courtyards, Longfu Mansion occupies the commanding height of Beijing's inner city center. The previously prosperous Longfu Mansion was burned down in a fire in the 1990s. Since then, with the change of modern lifestyle, the business district of Longfu Temple has been on the decline. It can no longer reproduce the prosperity of the past, and gradually withdraws from the life of Beijing people.

设计策略

Design Strategy

隆福大厦既有着过往的荣光，也不缺少遗憾。既然历史已无法被改写，倒不如推倒彻底重建。我们舍弃了修旧如旧的方案，只保留原建筑的框架，建筑的外立面、屋顶、庭院等全部进行重新的建造。

Since history can't be rewritten, it's better to apply something new. Abandoning the plan of “restoring the old as the old”, we only retained the frame of the original mansion and reconstructed the facade, and roof courtyard of the mansion. In this way, Longfu Mansion resumes its past glory while leaving no regret.

当代极简的设计

Contemporary Minimal Design

建筑师的初衷是在隆福大厦的屋顶复原隆福寺，为了适应隆福文化中心作为公共文化建筑的功能，我们摈弃了在屋顶重新建造皇家园林的手法 而是采用了用克制的空间布置，为可能发生在这座屋顶院落中的多元活动预留出灵活利用的开阔空间。同时我们以非对称的图形构成将景观引入中心对称的传统建筑布局中，在大殿两侧对称的甬道外侧，分别布置了形式极简而禅意现代景观元素。寥寥松竹，轻薄水面，草坪花箱、建构了现今这个简洁克制的现代庭院，挑战楼体结构的限制。

The architect's original intention is to restore Longfu Temple on the roof of Longfu Mansion. In order to adapt to the function of Longfu Cultural Center as a public cultural place, we abandoned the idea of rebuilding a royal garden on the roof, but adopted the restrained space layout to reserve a flexible open space for the diversified activities that may take place in the roof courtyard. Meanwhile, with asymmetric space composition, we introduce the landscape into the traditional centrosymmetric architectural layout. On the outside of the symmetrical paved paths leading to the main hall are the modern landscape elements with the minimalistic style and Zen's spirit. A few pines and bamboos, shallow water, lawn and flowering trees constitute today's simple and restrained modern courtyard, accommodate with the limitations of building structure.

为了呈现隆福文化中心的独一无二视野，我们打开了围合寺庙的红墙，选择在东西侧视野最佳的位置设立了观景台。日落时分，从东西红墙上的观景台向外望去，老城里的青灰色民居紧密排布，金色余晖映在视线尽头那些高耸的CBD写字楼的玻璃幕墙上，同时也在闪烁于老城琉璃瓦房的屋顶上。这是东西观景轴上绝无仅有的好风景，新城古都仿佛在这一刻交织在了一起。

In order to present the unique vision of Longfu Cultural Center, we opened the red wall surrounding the temple and set up a overlook deck at the location with optimal view at both east and west sides. At sunset, looking out from the overlook deck outside the eastern and western red walls, we can see that the caesious dwellings in the old city are closely arranged, and the golden afterglow is reflected on the glass curtain walls of the towering CBD office buildings at the end of sight line, and also glitters on the glazed tile roofs of the houses in the old city. This is the unique scenery on the east-west viewing axis. It seems that the new city and the ancient capital are intertwined at this moment.

阴阳平衡

Balance of Yin and Yang

阴阳为平衡为和谐，水的引入在风水上平衡了寺庙宏伟的“阳”，也希望水能够庇护这座曾经遭遇过大火的大厦 。在正中的院落中，有打通整座大厦办公中庭的天窗，我们把采光天窗设计为镜面水台。阳光透过薄水面洒进大厦中庭，整个大厦的办公中庭充满摇曳灵动的水光影效果。同时大殿的倒影也跃然水面之上。夜晚办公中庭的灯光也能照亮水台，使水台熠熠生辉。

Yin and yang are in balance and harmony. The introduction of water balances the grand "yang" of the temple according to fengshui theory. It is also hoped that water can protect the mansion that once suffered from fire. In the central courtyard, there is a skylight which goes through the office atrium of the whole mansion. We have designed the roof skylight as a mirror water terrace. The sunlight shines into the atrium of the mansion through the thin water surface, and the office atrium of the whole mansion is full of the flickering effect of light and shadow in water. At the same time, the inverted image of the whole mansion is also reflected in the water. At night, the light in the office atrium can also illuminate the water terrace, making it sparkling.

致敬传统文化和建造工艺

Tribute to Traditional Culture and Construction Technology

在现代极简的设计风格中，我们用传统建筑材料来传承历史。大殿两侧甬道和伫立在甬道尽头的排风井遮挡，我们选择了用传统工艺烧制的青砖，并结合参数化设计系形成独特的水纹肌理遮挡表面。夜幕时分，灯光透过风孔照射而出，如同摇曳的井中月色。 类似中国水墨画花纹的大理石和花岗岩在当代几何形式感中加入了有机肌理。

By virtue of the modern and minimalistic design style, we use traditional building materials to inherit history. The paved paths on both sides of the hall and the exhaust shafts standing at the end of the paved paths are covered by gray bricks fired with traditional technology, and the parametric design system is used to form a unique screening with water-wave texture. At night time, the light shines through the vent hole, just like the moonlight flickering in the well. Marble and granite, which have patterns similar to Chinese ink paintings, add organic texture to the contemporary geometric form.

历经风雨的隆福寺，经过手艺精湛的现代匠人的拂拭，换上了为其打造的新装。我们试图打开它、重塑它，却又担心它不合时宜。直到如今，它以全新的姿态重现于世，风采更甚从前。置身其中，才知觉到不是我们在守望它，而是它在守望我们。隆福文化中心以它自己的方式计算着时间和文明的变迁，也以自己的方式和这座城市血脉相连。

Longfu Temple, which has gone through ups and downs, has taken on a new look thanks to the efforts of modern craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship. We intended to open it and reshape it, but we worried that, by doing so, it might be out of accord with the times. Until now, it has reappeared in a brand new posture, even more elegant than before. Only when we are in it, can we realize that it is not we who are gazing at Longfu Temple, but it is Longfu Temple that is gazing at us. Longfu Cultural Center is recording the changes of time and civilization in its own way, and is also integrating itself closely with the city in its own way.
