共振之材建筑展丨sauerbruch hutton

如果说混凝土时代定义了二十世纪，那么在二十一世纪初，一种更为古老的建造材料——木材，正在全球范围内迎来复兴。这一天然资源提供了一种不同的现代性愿景，在其中，功能性、适应性、真实性与美感得以汇聚；同时，也具备令人瞩目的低碳足迹。此类重新兴起的关注在唤醒长期存在的集体想象的同时，也引发了新的文化层面的讨论。

If the age of concrete defined the twentieth century, the early twenty-first century has seen the worldwide resurgence of a much older building material: timber. This natural resource offers a different vision of modernity, one in which functionality, adaptability, honesty, and beauty may converge – all with an impressively low carbon footprint. Such renewed interest also raises cultural questions at the same time as it reawakens long-standing collective imaginations.

sauerbruch hutton has spent more than two decades exploring and defining many possibilities of timber construction: in their projects, this living material assumes diverse roles, from façade elements to load-bearing structures and modular systems.
