貝氏新作
貝氏新作貝聿銘事務所的新作品，卡塔爾多哈的一個博物館，前天開幕。從照片上看還是很有中式意境的，四方屋頂成了貝氏最近幾個公共建築的標誌，室內室外都可見三角形的構成，用材細膩，但小景裏還是看到了阿拉伯的符號。更多這個博物館的照片，請見：http://www.dezeen.com/2008/12/02/museum-of-islamic-art-by-im-pei/#more-21365 這次HK行看了幾個新建築，他們都喜歡大面積用細膩的不多見的石材，以塊面代替點線，我很欣賞這樣的手法。Tag：每日一禁果artlog 发表于13:12:01 |

贝聿铭的伊斯兰艺术博物馆
新落成的位于卡塔尔多哈的一个人工岛屿上的伊斯兰艺术博物馆，设计来自91岁高龄的贝聿铭，贝聿铭称这个伊斯兰艺术博物馆将是他最后一个大型文化建筑（建筑外部在2006年已完成）。占地4万5平方，白色石灰石几何式的叠加成伊斯兰的风格建筑，中央的穹顶连接起不同的空间，内部除了展示来自世界各地的各种伊斯兰艺术品，还包括图书馆、餐厅等功能空间，开馆时就有马友友的表演。为了表现伊斯兰建筑的本质，贝聿铭在中东考察了好几个月，研读穆罕默德，到埃及，去突尼斯。怕这个博物馆会被周围环境所淹没，他请求卡塔尔的王储为其建立一个独立的岛。(via:designboom)No Related Post
