第六篇 刘家琨:扎根土地的建筑诗人

英文原文

Liu Jiakun does not chase flashy architectural forms

or international aesthetic trends,

but seeks to weave buildings gently

into the texture of local land and daily life.

Trained as an architect and once a novelist,

he carries dual insight into the solidity of bricks

and the subtlety of human emotion.

After years of practice in Chengdu,

he established his own studio,

choosing to remain rooted in his hometown rather

than flocking to the bustling metropolises.

His architectural philosophy rests on a simple but profound idea:

strategy precedes style.

For each project, he studies the land, the climate

and the living needs of ordinary residents,

refusing to impose fixed aesthetic templates upon every site.

In the wake of the Wenchuan earthquake,

he invented recycled bricks made from shattered building debris,

turning the ruins of disaster into the

foundation for new homes and renewed hope.

His masterpieces, such as the Luxyan

Stone Sculpture Museum and Xicun Courtyard,

do not overpower viewers with grand gestures.

They embrace the quiet poetry of concrete, old tiles and native plants,

creating spaces where history and modernity can coexist peacefully.

He believes architecture is not merely about constructing physical shelter,

but about nurturing shared dignity

and communal warmth for ordinary people.

Many global awards and invitations have come his way,

yet he keeps his gaze fixed firmly on the

living reality of the local community.

His works remind us that great creation never floats above the earth.

It listens to the whispers of the land,

honours the memories of ordinary people,

and builds spaces where humanity can settle and breathe.

完整译文:

刘家琨从不追逐炫目的建筑造型或是国际审美潮流,

而是让建筑轻柔融入土地肌理与人间日常。

他本是建筑学专业出身,也曾是一名小说家,

兼具砖石结构的理性认知,与体察人心的细腻感悟。

在成都深耕多年之后,

他创办了自己的建筑事务所,

选择留守故土,没有奔赴繁华的大都市。

他的建筑理念简约却厚重:

策略,先于风格。

面对每一项项目,他都会研读土地、气候,以及普通人真实的生活需求,

拒绝用一套固化的审美模板,生硬套用于所有场地。

汶川地震之后,

他研发利用建筑废墟粉碎制成的再生砖,

将灾难留下的残垣断壁,化作新居重建的根基与重生的希望。

鹿野苑石刻博物馆、西村大院等代表作,

不靠宏大夸张的体量震慑观者。

它们容纳混凝土、旧砖瓦与本土草木蕴藏的沉静诗意,

打造出让历史与现代安然共生的空间。

他认为建筑不只是搭建可供栖身的实体庇护所,

更要守护普通人共有的尊严,孕育社群之中的温情。

众多国际奖项与海外邀约纷至沓来,

他的目光却始终锚定在地社区鲜活真实的生活。

他的作品提醒我们,伟大的创作永远不会悬浮于大地之上。

它聆听土地无声的低语,

敬重普通人留存的记忆,

构筑能够安放人性、自在呼吸的场所。
